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 wor

We have a document with a 2-column layout where we have section headers

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. We

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 up,

Thanks, everybody, for the discussion on running TeX distributed / in
parallel.
I am much educated about the state of the art. :-)

- There is plenty of optimization that normally can be done. If a
ConTeXt run is taking a really long time, chances are that something is

Hello,
We have a situation where hyphenation is an issue, due to a 2-column
layout where the columns are not very wide. We've done a lot of tweaking
of settings for hyphenation and interword spacing, and the result seems
pretty good. In particular, there are not many cases of consecutive
lines tha
