Where can I find the most recent ConTeXt documentation? The files I found
here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page
show November 2001 as the date. Is there anything newer?
Thanks!

I'm looking for a way to produce InDesign-like documents with TeX. By
InDesign-like, I mean, apart from excellent typography, the abillity to
have 'stories' automatically overflow
Is there a way to get behavior like flowfram using ConTeXt? Specifically, I
mean the ability to define a set of frames or boxes, possibly several on a
page or across a series of pages, and have the text automatically flow from
one box to another in a prescribed order?
I'm interested in doing

That fixed it. Thanks!
Apart from that:
I've used LaTeX for years, but I'm trying to work with ConTeXt now on a Win7

I've downloaded the minimal ZIP file, unpacked it and run the

Is there some recent information on using XML, and specifically XSL-FO, with
ConTeXt? The pages on the contextgarden wiki appear to be 5 years old or
more, and even the archive of this list seem pretty sparse on recent
information.

I want to process documents from two separate XML files. One XML file

even placeholder text. The other XML contains the actual content that gets
placed into that layout.
Is this possible? Anyone have any examples of

Anybody have an XML pretty printer ConTeXt document? That would make a
