Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Norbert Preining [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: context Version : 2006.12.17 Upstream Author : Hans Hagen * URL : http://www.pragme-ade.com * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: TeX Description : A powerful TeX format ConTeXt is a typographical engine written in the typographical computer language TeX. ConTeXt provides you with a convenient way to encode documents in a structured way and to typeset these documents in various ways on paper, computer screen or web site. Use ConTeXt to create simple documents and complex layouts. From a single source produce traditional paper documents as well as highly interactive electronic documents. Combine text and graphics and other information in your document in different ways. Move around, use and reuse information and typeset in one or more natural languages. This package also contains MetaFun. MetaFun (a superset of well known MetaPost) is a powerful system for vector graphics that is fully integrated into ConTeXt thereby reaching its full potential for the first time, but also usable as a stand alone product. MetaFun is not for interactive drawing applications and not for free hand drawings. Its strength lies in the ability to enhance the document layout with highly accurate graphics elements. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Not that I am a specialist in ConTeXt, but: - it deals with a version of ConTeXt from 2003 (!) - it does not make sense to think in this way, ie recreating the exact LaTeX layout using ConTeXt.
