> Can ConTeXt handle a LaTeX program?
No it can't, not that I'm aware of anyway. While
both LaTeX and ConTeXt inherit from plain TeX,
and therefore look somewhat similar cosmetically,
they don't work the same. (e.g. ConTeXt does not
use LaTeX packages, the .tex files differ in
essentials and not just in details, etc.)

-- David I also think it would need a ne exporter. On the other hand it 
might prevent running in the too many packages trap of LaTeX. To be 
honest, I do not know how man people really use ConTeXt. Best Markus
