Like most things (I'm not sure about General Relativity) this is not complicated once you've been through it. I am learning about ConTeXt right now and am putting the examples on the web page as soon as I have something to share. This is the best time to document technical procedures: when the memory of bewilderment is still fresh. I posted a "help a beginner, please" message about a month ago and received much assistance from Hans Hagen, Giuseppe Bilotta, George White and others. The web page, apart from documenting my procedures for my own use, is an expression of gratitude and an attempt to pass on the favor. I am putting time into this because I am starting a book publishing company and TeX is my chosen typesetting tool. (I have the time because I'm unemployed!) I just added a typography section to the web page, which includes material on hanging punctuation, etc: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html. -Bill
