I will write this referee report considering this adjustment to its target audience. The article is very interesting but it has a few (mostly unimportant) typos and several stylistic choices that I think that need to be either justified clearly, or changed, or both. \medskip Here are the typos that I found: In p.4: ``text in from'' --- should that be ``text in front''? In p.5: ``sub engine'' --- should be ``subengine'' In p.20: ``To the poin,t'' --- should be ``To the point,'' \medskip The author has decided to keep many names in lowercase, including some that have canonical capitalizations --- here are some examples: web, pdf, xml, markdown, dvi, ctan, ffi. I suggest either fixing that or explaining the rationale for that. The version of the article that I received does not have a proper bibliography. I would be nice to have one, and also a convention --- maybe a special font --- for names of packages that are difficult to find by a simple web search but that are easy to find if we add ``CTAN''; two examples are Aleph and NTS. Also, on p.2 there is a reference to ``web Pascal'' and ``the C variant''; it would help the readers to point out that their standard names are WEB and CWEB, and that they are CTAN packages. The section 1.9, ``Coding documents'', would be much more useful to readers without any experience with ConTeXt if it included instructions for testing the snippets. The first three snippets --- ``The rain in Spain'', the one with ``context.startitemize'', and the one with ``draw fullcircle scaled 2cm'' --- just need to be saved as 1.tex, 2.tex, and 3.tex, and then compiled with `context 1.tex', `context 2.tex', and `context 2.tex'; I couldn't adapt the other snippets to make them produce output in a PDF file. My suggestion --- as a beginner --- is to include a reference to ``A not so short introduction to ConTEXt Mark IV'', by Joaquín Ataz-López, and point to some of its sections. Similarly, the section 1.14, ``Further reading'', would be more useful with more precise pointers. I tried to find some its items both in the wiki at contextgarden.net and at the copy of the ConTeXt distribution that comes with TeXLive, and failed miserably. \GenericWarning{Success:}{Success!!!} % Used by `M-x cv' \end{document} % __ __ _ % | \/ | __ _| | _____ % | |\/| |/ _` | |/ / _ \ % | | | | (_| | < __/ % |_| |_|\__,_|_|\_\___| % % <make> * (eepitch-shell) * (eepitch-kill) * (eepitch-shell) # (find-LATEXfile "2019planar-has-1.mk") make -f 2019.mk STEM=2025lua-in-tex veryclean make -f 2019.mk STEM=2025lua-in-tex pdf % Local Variables: % coding: utf-8-unix % ee-tla: "lit" % End:
