Hello All,

After a number of years working with "classical" TeX/LaTeX I have been
trying out ConTeXt. I like the structured approach and the control it gives
the user and I have been trying it out on some of my working documents.

Two questions:

1. On writing tables in LaTeX, there is an option p{ some length } that
   enables paragraph mode for one or more of the table's column entries. Is
   there something equivalent in ConTeXt? I don't seem to be able to find
   it in the manual.

\starttable and \starttabulate both accept p(3cm) and alike; in tabulate, if you don't specify the width, it will be automatically calculated

2. My native language is Greek and I would like to have the capability to
   write documents in this language. There does not seem to be support for
   it in ConTeXt. Are there any directions, notes, how-to's, etc. around,
   for how to add support for an additional language in ConTeXt? I'd like to
   give it a try.

it's not that complicated to implement:

(1) what fonts
(2) what encoding
(3) what labels

i have to implement greek anyway (need it for projects), so ...; last time i looked into it, i became puzzled by the many encodings; so, do you have infoin (1) and (2) to start with?
