Hello!
As promised I’ve uploaded my ConTeXt introduction to github. You can find it at https://github.com/AKielhorn/Context-Intro
I used MkIV syntax for \startsection \stopsection but gave up on \startparagraph \stoparagraph.
Is there a way to auto convert that or do I have to add these command once I want to generate tagged PDF?
Feel free to comment, this is the second time I use ConTeXt and I wanted to keep notes about the things I need.
Future plan: Learn more about bibliography. Create PDF/A (or /UA). More math as I need it.
Alternative environments to change the look.
If you are familiar with LaTeX (as a user) many things are obvious in ConTeXt, at least for me. Early showstoppers – at least for me – are configuration and the definition of styles etc. At first you think, wow, this key-value pairing is nice, but then you realize that you never know which keys are available and what values can be applied. What kind of brackets must be used? Why do some commands have two, three, four brackets for options? The next showstopper is the define-setup system and the possibility to give names to your macros. I always thought: Well, there is a well defined system in it, I am only too dumb to grasp it. I discovered setup-en.pdf and tried to figure out how to read it. I discovered showsetup only to see that \showsetup{setuphead} just gives me a list of options but no explanation. It would be great if showsetup would give explanations to the keys and values. I like to learn using try-and-error, but I would love to have a systematic introduction to the concepts of ConTeXt. Maybe you can add some of this in your introduction to make it a starting point for users speaking German. juh
