These are the resources that I have found very useful: 0)interface files tex/texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv 1) test suite cont-tst.7z http://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm 2) sources of the pdf of the standalone, tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources/general 3) sources of modules tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules 4) source code of mkiv tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv 5) the archives of emails https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/ The ml is ok of course, but at some point you will develop your own style of doing things, and probably you will encapsulate it into a module. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
