Hi Hraban, your book will be an important reference, althought it won’t be “the reference” (I doubt such a thing might exist).
E.g. I wanted margin notes. Like footnotes, but in the margin. No problem if you want them at the bottom. Very hard if you want them like marginals, starting in the line of the marker... Is this common enough to include it in my book?
I would say this is too specific. But I would provide the explanation in the wiki.
As a media designer, who’s also working with InDesign, my focus is of course different from a scientist who just wants her thesis readable...
I think it is essential to have a wider range of explanations on how to do things with ConTeXt (or even with computers, but this is a different topic). I’m not saying that other approaches are wrong. Just only not everyone may understand things the same way. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
