Use WeBoMints all the time, especially character '4' for a
section divider or chapter end decoration.

Has someone looked at the free downloadable Web-O-Mints (both  
TrueType and Postscript: http://www.galapagosdesign.com/download/ 
index.html) or Fleurons.ttf (http://www.grsites.com/modperl/ 
fontview.cgi?dir=f&fn=FLEUR_TT), both very attractive lokking sets of  
traditional ornaments and border pieces?

Sorry the code was dense. If you want it broken down and explained, let
me know.

The attachment was probably too big for the list--if you want another
pair of eyes on it, feel free to send it off-list.

Yeah, I picked up the Fleurons of Hope recently, and have been thinking
of interesting ways to use it in ConTeXt.

I think Bill McClain's page is a great place to start. My MyWays sort of
pick up on topics after that.
