And how to make it easier

Page 2: Observations on learning ConTeXt

Publishing Exact control of the layout and visuals in general Easy handling of large documents Combining material from different sources Interactive pdf, multiformat output

Academics Structure, consistency, bibliography Maths, chemistry, plotting (MetaPost) Linguistics, non-Latin languages

Other Just because it is something new and exciting

“Fiddling around” – learn-by-doing The Apple approach (a 3-year-old can use an iPad) Not suitable for more abstract/specialised software

How did he do that? – learn-by-example (or imitation) Learn-by-tweaking – sometimes called “stealing”

How do I do x? – learn-by-asking Strictly “need-to-know” basis Once in a while called “laziness”

RTFM – learn-by-reading Theoretical, “want-to-know-everything” basis Seldom appears in pure-bred form

From LaTeX ConTeXt allows easier control of the visuals Understanding of the basic concepts

From WYSIWYG desktop publishing (InDesign, PageMaker) Looking for automating workflows Good grasp of the visual theory Maybe not familiar with command line or descriptive tagging

From WYSIWYG word processing (MS Office, OpenOffice) Need to handle large documents or maths or linguistics Background can vary, shaky knowledge of the basic concepts Not interested in the deeper workings

Software usability Ease of installation Editor integration context live @ contextgarden.net Modules

Documentation Cheat sheets for LaTeX users Short manuals with a single recipe in each Reference manual The ConTeXt Community; wiki, mailing list, user

meetings Example files

“File per feature” enables easy debugging Special sets for WYSIWYG migration?
