Hello:
I am intending to write my masters thesis using context. My university
publishes a style guide in addition to a latex cls file. I am trying to
reproduce the titlepage. I have been using the wiki (specifically
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Document_Titles#In_ConTeXt:_A_more_
advanced_solution). But I have not been able to add addition fields
beyond the present title, author, date.
Here is the relevant portion on the latex file.
[latex code snipped]
Any hints?
Thank you for your time,
Here is how I would do it. Most of it is literal translation of latex
commands, using a contextish style.
% Put this in your environment file.
