Talk:ConTeXt

message: Whoever added the 'advert' tag in march 08 -- I saw no discussion, comments, or justification. Having reviewed at least a half dozen Wikipedia articles on different incarnations of TeX, I found this article factual and brief. Therefore I removed the tag, and since put it back, because it appears that certain major negatives to this incarnation are not addressed. The ommission of which I would think is a kind of advocacy. Since I am not expert enough to add that, I think someone should before this tag is removed.
Also in its present state I can see an excessive amount of first-person sourcing and it could stand to be rewritten for sourcing better.

thread_title: An editorial review

message: From :Category:Free TeX software:
:This is a category of articles relating to software which can be freely used, copied, studied, modified, and redistributed by everyone that obtains a copy: "free software" or "open source software".  Typically, this means software which is distributed with a free software license, and whose source code is available to anyone who receives a copy of the software.
But "Comparing CONTeXT and LaTeX" by Taco Hoekwater says that discussion with Hans Hagen resulted in:
 And here are some groups which are expressly forbidden to
 use CONTEXT without prior written consent by PRAGMA:
 1. Publishing houses.
 2. Typesetting companies that intend to advertise with
    the fact that they use and/or accept CONTEXT input.
 3. Typesetting companies that intend to use
    CONTEXT as their base means of production.
 4. Governmental institutions.

replies: text: My statement above was not about ConTeXt. LuaTeX, which is need by ConTeXt Mk IV, is distributed under GPLv2. Typing "context", which invokes the Mk IV, does not give any info about the license of the ConTeXt macros. YMMV.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by VasileGaburici (talk • contribs) 21:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Is ConTeXt [[Free Software]]?

message: Hi,
As I know, ConTeXt is under highly active development; a plenty of features are added and removed frequently.  For example, lua is currently deeply used in the implementation of ConTeXt system, which appears to be a trend in ConTeXt community.  Besides, some more advanced features, such native fonts selection mechanism (something like the feature provided by XeTeX) exists now.  So, I wonder if these could be added into the article.  And, therefore, the not so stable interface could also be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realwhz (talk • contribs) 17:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Anyone could fix the image in this page? It comes from http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt and I don't know how to show it.
Thanks a lot,

thread_title:  fix of image 

message: Hi,
I think the section "In a bit more detail" is redundant in more parts. Please, could you put the relevant parts to the first section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xan2 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please remove and integrate "In a bit more details section" 

message: Now "features" section is removed and that more references are put, it seems that this article is not ad article. So think we could leave ad tag. In my opinion, there is lot of rewriting to do. So I maintain other tag. What do you think?. Xan.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xan2 (talk • contribs) 10:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Translation of Polski example 

message: A detailed comparison with LaTeX would be very useful. After looking at http://tex.loria.fr/formats/context/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf, it is far from clear to me what would be the real advantage of moving from LaTeX to conTeXt, especially as a mathematician (who are most probably the main users of TeX and its derivatives in any case)...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.194.8.73 (talk) 15:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  this document it's too elder. There is no clear text of explaining the advantages and disavantages of use ConTeXt instead of LaTeX. Please, if you find it, put as a resources. My own words is that with ConTeXt you can manage more customization like in LaTeX but it's clear that there is a lot of community under LaTeX program (more than in ConTeXt).--Xan2 (talk) 17:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
