Learnlatex.org: A place to learn LaTeX online
Fun fact: about 20 years ago, LaTeX developers were lamenting the stagnation of LaTeX and LaTeX being surpassed on a technical level by its new competitor (in the TeX world), ConTeXt.<p>Since then LaTeX has basically kept on stagnating in the name of backwards compatibility, while ConTeXt keeps on progressing; it already broke backwards compatibility several times (it&#x27;s latest implementation is called LMTX).<p>But the inertia is so powerful that nobody except TeX geeks even knows what ConTeXt is. How does that happen?<p>Sidenote: it&#x27;s not just about ConTeXt, even LuaTeX, the latest (but not new anymore) implementation of TeX in general, is being ignored by scientific publishers.<p>Meanwhile, ConTeXt is mostly used for demanding typesetting of books.<p>And, BTW, using ConTeXt (or LuaTeX) doesn&#x27;t even necessarily mean writing TeX anymore, it&#x27;s possible to drive the engines through the Lua C API, or with XML, etc.<p>ConTeXt links:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.contextgarden.net&#x2F;Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.contextgarden.net&#x2F;Main_Page</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ConTeXt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ConTeXt</a><p>Mailing list: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mailman.ntg.nl&#x2F;mailman&#x2F;listinfo&#x2F;ntg-context" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mailman.ntg.nl&#x2F;mailman&#x2F;listinfo&#x2F;ntg-context</a>
