I was curious, so did a quick experiment: typeset \input knuth 500 times.

(chapters or sections). When I’m working, I have both the product and a
component open. I

Hi all,
I have a lengthy text that I wish to seamlessly incorporate using the
\input{mytext} command in ConTeXt.
Additionally, I aim to present it in asymmetrical continuous columns, where the

I don't mind experimenting with it.
e.g. I try to change the font color in existing pdf documents from black
to blue.
At the moment my workaround is using mutool to export pages to svg.
I may not understand it ...
Where can I find the thread (which keyword?)and which values are bad?
Greetings
