Wait. Are you actually saying that no one who has write access to ConTeXt
source is going to write documentation that describes manual offline
installation for package distributors?

You don't have to install anything.
What I'm asking is documentation of offline installation instructions. Offline
installation means downloading all required archives in advance and then
installing them without internet access.
Translation of what install.sh roughly does into a documentation
Okay. An installation guide for package distributors may appear in the future.
But, it's not going to appear anytime soon.
For now, I'm going to fix up texmfcnf.lua in Gentoo Linux texlive package for
using stable releases of ConTeXt and use install.sh for testing the latest
changes.

If someone adds something like installation.md to the root directory of ConTeXt
source archive or git commit, anyone can read it and translate it into one's OS
Okay, TexLive will get ConTeXt LMTX.
If TexLive was the official way to ship stable versions of ConTeXt, I am okay
with having TexLive ConTeXt as a system package and using ConTeXt LMTX portable
installer for testing bleeding edge features.
Still, there are a few ways to ship latest changes in
I really don't understand how TexLive is installed. On Gentoo Linux, the code
that handles TexLive installation is complex. I can't reuse code that I don't
understand.
I came from LaTeX background. I got sick of handling incompatible modules in
LaTeX and decided to try ConTeXt. I had used
Sorry for spamming the list a little bit.
If there was something like
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/ncurses.html for
ConTeXt and luametatex (binary), then distribution maintainers can make
packages for ConTeXt easily.
I don't know TeX/TeXLive/kpathsea/ConTeXt
Imagine installation instructions given by linux from scratch.
install.sh is like `apt-get install ConTeXt`.
Linux from scratch would document the following commands.
```
tar xf luametatex-2022.06.tar.xz
cd /path/to/luametatex-2022.06
make
cp luametatex /usr/bin
tar xf context-2022.06.tar.xz
By the way, all POSIX-like opearting systems including BSDs and linux
distributions share one way of making system packages.
For all POSIX-like operating systems, a simple Makefile can build LuaMetaTex.
Since each linux distribution may have a slightly different directory
structure, it would
. If they care and they have installation guide, they will
make it work.

I just created a reference to a \section with \in.
Clicking the \in reference doesn't go to the \section, but to the page that has

Does ConTeXt lack the ability to go to an exact point of a numbered element on

Let's assume that I'm writing an A4 book.
How can I design front cover, spine, and back cover of the book with ConTeXt?
I've read many PDF files, but none that I can remember actually had book spine
on it. Some had back cover. Most had front cover.
Do printing houses make spine and back cover

A digital book doesn't need to be double-sided.
But, a physical book can be double-sided.
Double-sidedness may require adjusting contents in many places.
How can I write a digital book that doesn't have to be heavily modified in
order to become a physical book? I want almost no modification at

Typesetting furigana over kanji characters is common for japanese educational
materials.
Is this doable in ConTeXt?

TexLive has texmfcnf.lua that doesn't really work with texlive-context

Arch Linux has its own patched version of texmfcnf.lua.

http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/texmf-context.zip is not versioned.
If the file changes later, linux distributions refuse to use the file.
I wish ConTeXt and LuaMetaTex were versioned and provided `offline` build
instructions. The vast majority of programs are versioned and can be built
At least, furigana seems covered.
How do I know which document to consult? There are many PDF files that come
with ConTeXt.
