I asked a question on tex.stackoverflow, and it was suggested ConTeXt could
help and that I should repost my question here.
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/108850/is-fine-grained-grid-control-possible
I want to make a variety of checklists which are essentially based on a grid
layout. I care about having fine-grained control over the exact placement
of labels and boxes. I do not care about paragraphs, hypenation, equations,
or anything like that which I know TeX is very good at.
Is ConTeX a good fit for my needs? How could I do it?
I've already though about Tikz and PGF but I don't think they give me enough
fine-grained control. If I fail to find a way to solve my problem using TeX
I will probably explore SVG and PostScript.
Here are some examples of the kind of thing I would like to do that I pulled
from an image search for "checklist"
