thanks. i realize that flexibility is a plus here, on the other hand creating macros even for the most basic functionality becomes counterproductive at some point. there are great basic building blocks in context. some of them are just not as consistent as the others :) i think consistency and 'logic' helps making the learning curve softer and work easier and faster. for example: \quote -> \setupquote \quotation -> \setupquotation \startquotation -> \setupquotationenvironment :) or some such. the problem is, that the manuals are not really verbose and help create wrong assumptions because at some places context is wonderfully 'logical' and consistent. -f -- prayers are always answered. the answer is usually no. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
