Modules::documentation

Modules as name come from switch modules in
texexec --pdf --modules module name
and it's a way to make pdf of documentation and code of module name .

• first, see Inside_ConTeXt in [1];
• User:Luigi.scarso/modules.pdf

-- Maybe you are searching for Modules, ie extensions to ConTeXt's core functions.--

Other stuffs

• AutoSize: see supp-fun.tex

I have download preprint of EUROTEX 2005 [2] It's very interesting.

For EUROTEX 2006, see slides here:http://www.matexhu.org/eurotex2006/lectures/

Also very interesting are colors (here [3])

As soon as possible, I'd like to write something about:

• transforming a xml from a spreadsheet (I'm working on gnumeric) to pdf by context . An good way is to use ssconvert (a command line utility) that come with gnumeric ; it can do conversion xls <--> xhtml (among others) so for a simple sheet can be a good choice. I'm using it from 3/4 years, and I'm satisfied.
• about python and context (cfr. TeX forever at preprint of EUROTEX 2005);

Is Indesign CS2 better than ConTeXt ?

Cool links:
http://pdfedit.petricek.net/ It permits to look inside a pdf file, and perhaps to modify it. ASAP i will compile it.

http://www.mail-archive.com/poppler@lists. There is a Ruby binding, Ruby/Poppler, in Ruby-GNOME2 project.

http://podofo.sourceforge.net/ which is designed as a PDF parsing library.

http://www.fauskes.net/ pgf and so.

There are pure python libraries like http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/
and http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/Projects/Python/pdftools/.
