Hi everyone! This is my first post here.
I've a limited (but sufficient) experience with LaTeX (I've written
several work-related documents with it) and now I have to write my
undergraduate thesis (the deadline is mid-january 2010). I've been fairy
impressed by a book typesetted with ConTeXt, so I used it for some
documents and liked the idea and the configurability. The possibility of
having a unique and personalized look-and-feel for every document is
very appealing to me, and I have already began to assemble a style for
the thesis.
However, I've a very limited experience with it and I wonder: is ConTeXt
the right choice in my circumstances? Can it be used without a degree in
typography? I can't write half thesis and then stumble on some obscure
(to me) typesetting problem, things have to be smooth and I need to
concentrate on content (but I still find desiderable a good unique
look). When I have a problem I try my best to resolve it by myself, but
given the limited time I can't learn and investigate everything, so if
I'll write my thesis in ConTeXt in some (desperate) cases I'll need your
help.
What do you think?
aditya wrote a quite impressive nice looking thesis so it is doable
