That’s legitimate, but I think it’s still useful to have that information on the wiki, so I added a link at the bottom of the section “Tips and Tricks” on the home page. Improvements and suggestion welcome. By the way, I don’t find your write-up particularly opinionated; on the contrary, I think the description is pretty objective. You’re right to pinpoint that the main issue with documentation is the relative lack of beginners’ guides, not the quality and quantity of documentation overall.

I was thinking about posting it on the Wiki as well but decided not to because it is way too opinionated and reflects purely my experiences. Also I would like to maintain this guide and it is difficult to manage contributions made as edits on Wiki (I don't get notified). However, I don't claim any copyright to this guide so feel free to steal any parts you want. > > Aditya > ___ > > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry > to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net > archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] The definitive guide to ConTeXt MkIV documentation
Hi Henri, Your guide is extremely useful. But as Aditya says, in order to be able to find it when one needs it, maybe the best place is to put it on the wiki. Thank you very much for your work!
