Stuart Jansen will be presenting this topic. Many are familiar with LaTeX, a collection of macros built on Donald Knuth‘s TeX. LaTeX is very popular for publishing academic papers because of the beautiful output it can create. However, creating a custom LaTeX style is a near super- human feat. ConTeXt is a less known but arguably more powerful collection of tools also built on TeX. Stuart is currently using ConTeXt to create a custom publishing framework with high quality requirements. Come and learn what ConTeXt can do for you and whether you should be using it instead of LaTeX.
