Re: [NTG-context] context manuals sources
Did so Wolfgang. Unfortunately I'm getting other compile errors ( in layo-05.tex this time ). I suspect these sources not being the debugged ones, and/or not everything is provided in http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/ to compile them. Speaking of compile errors, where is there a reference explaining the meaning of ConTeXt compile error messages ?

Re: [NTG-context] context manuals sources
i have a better version here (will upload it at some point); Wonderful Hans! Because learning a new language through updated source code examples is so much more pleasant and efficient. The presentation of the former mentioned screen manual is precisely what brought me to switch to ConTeXt and what I intended to study now how to implement. Would you please advise when uploaded ?

Re: [NTG-context] context manuals sources
In a parser, a piece of code that interprets a set of structured rules (grammar) from a (partially or fully) tokenized input stream from the lexical analyzer at the front end, LHS is something on the left hand side of an equation or term (thus, on the left-hand parse tree) and RHS is on the right hand side. There are free sources out there to find stuff on parsing so you don't have to go and buy the Dragon book (Aho, Sethi, Ullmann), which I nevertheless consider a vade mecum. You will find links to such documentation under the computer - reference category at: http://yoel.info/links.htm Best wishes, and welcome to the world of artificial languages.

While reading code you can simply ignore them. You can also ignore them while writing code (at least initially). The advantage of these \v! \c! thingies is that it makes it easier to catch typos and write a multi-lingual interface.
