[NTG-context] Context, LaTeX, or an XML for academic writing?

Dear NTG-context denizens, today I went to work to make up my mind about whether it would be a good idea to go ahead and produce my BSc. Thesis with ConTeXt. It's clear, I'm very much attracted to it's approach, I do like the syntax and the focus on PDF output (I never used DVI before) et cetera p

[NTG-context] Sparklines to be in ConTeXt?

2005-07-31 Thread Tobias Wolf
