Hello,
We've been using TeX to typeset a 1200-page book, and at that size, the
time it takes to run becomes a big issue (especially with multiple
passes... about 8 on average). It takes us anywhere from 80 minutes on
our fastest machine, to 9 hours on our slowest laptop.
So the question comes

Hello,
We are using ConTeXt (with XeTeX engine) to typeset some tables that
have borders (rules) between cells.
In the previous edition of the book (which was not done in TeX), some of
the lines between table cells were double, others single. This was done
to show grouping of columns and rows.

Hello,
I've been reading through the TeXbook to solidify the foundations for
TeX programming. In an exercise on roman and italic text, ConTeXt seems
to behave differently from what the book specifies (Plain TEX) at a
fairly fundamental level.
Exercise 4.1 says, Explain how to typeset a roman
