Dear friends, After an exchange with Giuseppe Bilotta on CTT, I am interested in trying out ConTeXt with Omega. How does one install the ConTeXt format under Omega? I know that the ConTeXt is compiled with pdf-e-TeX, and that ConTeXt has hooks into features specific to that format. My situation is that I do a lot of multilingual typesetting under Omega using features not available in pdf-e-TeX. I am would like to test the claim of ConTeXt's improved typesetting functionality over LaTeX in a multilingual context (mainly scholarly Arabic). I've looked at the install manual and did a standard install of ConTeXt as well, but it's not clear to me exactly how to proceed to compile it under Omega 1.15. Has anyone tried ConTeXt-Omega before? Any reports?
Also: 1. While Omega itself will not support the pdfTeX and e-TeX extensions of ConTeXt, will dvipdfm at least support some of the pdf-related stuff in ConTeXt? 2. R there any documents which give a good comparison and contrast of LaTeX vs. ConTeXt? (But I thnk Giuseppe Bilotta 4 the comments he made on CTT) 3. I am totally new here & have never tried ConTeXt before, nor do I have much experience with iniTeX (since formats r usually loaded during installation of TeX) and am interested in any comments. how-to's, or suggestions any of u may have in getting this to work. Thnx in advance and best wishes Idris
