Hello,

I agree with the idea that documentation of ConTeXt's commands and
parameters is rather incomplete.

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a documentation system like Java's
Javadoc. We can put comments just before commands definitions and use a
little preprocessor written in Perl or Python that parse TeX files in order
to build a ConTeXt documentation like the manual titled "ConTeXt commands".

I'm looking forward your opinion about this.

Nicolas

I had tried about everything I could think of. That's the one big problem
with ConTeXt, it's most of the tim ea matter of trial and error and a
difficult process of trial and error even. Documentation often does only
mentions the existence of something without an explanation (arguments to
commands are seldomly adequately explained). I have been fighting with
layout parameters yesterday for a document I needed to keep within one page.

Someone should fund Hans for writing true documentation.
