Hi, I'm trying to learn ConTeXt and has so far read parts of the manuals available on the website (http://www.pragma-ade.com). However, I feel that these manuals only give me a quite limited knowledge. Therefore I wonder if there are any chance that the source code for some advanced documents are available on the internet. Some of the really well designed manuals (eg. "XML in ConTeXt", "Charts in ConTeXt" and "ConTeXt - an excursion") or other documents with a high level of design. On to another subject, I'm having trouble using the chart module. I get no errors while typesetting, but the flowcharts doesn't show up. The only command that showed anything among the ones I tried was \FLOWchart[grid]. Has the commands changed since the chart manual("Charts uncovered") was written? -Johan

As Mojca mentioned ...

In order to get the grid, you need to set the option test and tell how the grid should look like: \usemodule[chart] \starttext \setupFLOWcharts [option=test, nx=4, ny=4, dx=2\bodyfontsize, dy=2\bodyfontsize, width=12\bodyfontsize, height=7\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth] \startFLOWchart[grid] \startFLOWcell \name{1} \location{1,1} \shape{product} \text{NONE} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[grid] \stoptext Kindr regards Willi

On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Official_ConTeXt_Documentation you have some links on the top of the pabe (probably not so well visible). You can either use SVN from svn://ctx.pragma-ade.nl/manuals (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ can help you on Windows) or download them from Taco's mirror ([http://context.aanhet.net/svn/). Not all the manuals are available there, but it should be enough for beginning. Mojca
