Hi, the sample file aesop-de is in old German orthography, there, ck

Thank you! There’s some information I need to add in the wiki.

Oh, I see. So, I should really try to get something out. It is
difficult to find enough time working on it, in particular since Hans
is always adding new (not only math) stuff, but I will try. It is fun
to participate in the development, and I do not want to delay it
(somebody has to push him and test, and so on...)
But I should probably get something out, even if that is not really
finished/polished. All the basics are there. Then it can be a
work-in-progress document, adding/modifying new stuff.
Yes, please! The version that you gave me a year ago is already really
interesting and helpful, and Hans’ manuals are also often "in progress".
A visible TODO marker might help – I’m using the following in my book to
keep track of incomplete sections:
\defineregister[todos]
\define[1]\TODO{\inouter{\tt\color[red]{TODO}}\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}\color[red]{\bf
#1}\autoinsertnextspace}
…
\startsection[title=Lists]
\TODO{Research the options of \tex{setupitemgroup}!}
\stopsection
…
\startchapter[title=Work list]
Sections that still need work.\blank
\placetodos
\stopchapter
So I get a prominent marker in the content and the title of the affected
section as an index.
There have been many changes along the way, and maybe at some time
some things were not really working, but later fixed.
I thought so, too.
For promotion I’d like to have a few examples where the difference
between TeX/LaTeX default rendering and new ConTeXt rendering is visible.

Seems like I was too dense to understand the description for the \setuplayout parameters in the wiki (and there are more that I never used, oh my…), and since I never use ConTeXt’s imposition for serious print products (and never set up a scheme myself), I didn’t know about pageshift. Ok, if I leave imposition to the printshop and they don't do binding correction in their workflow, I'd need to set horoffset differently for every single page (i.e. first, second, second-to-last and last the same; 3th, 4th and from back the same etc.). Or is pageshift applied independently from arranging? And then, it makes no sense to add the same value all the time. I don’t know if BCOR works this way in LaTeX, but one value (paper thickness) should be enough in combination with an imposition schema. I.e. if I define a paper thickness and the number of pages that are in one booklet (as a single booklet or part of a "proper" book), then the page shift should work automatically. Well, for a single booklet, it could. In a book, booklets can have different numbers of pages, and then you'd need to define a list… Okay, too complicated. It’s the printshops's responsibility anyway, and nobody complained about my books so far. (I'm not perfectionist enough to care.)

In any case, it will be good to have examples of something that breaks. Usually, it is due to minor change in the syntax and easily fixable.
