Maybe this is necessary. Maybe it isn't. I'm fairly new to typesetting and never came from a background of decades of experience with TeX. But it seems to me like any programming language, and ConTeXt is a kind of one for document engineering, should have users focusing on creating beautiful books and not on the language's information and processing model. Just my two cents. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
