Dear Pablo
Thanks for the quick response. I'm only just starting and many of the
questions, as I say, will answer themselves when I get into the
documentation properly. I'm sure pstricks will be workable
(\usemodule[pstricks] doesn't generate an error, but when you actually
try to use pstricks it fails - but there will be another way). Edmac is
not likely to be needed for the books I have in mind, but it is
essential for editions that I typeset from time to time with XeTeX and I
don't think anything else will give me the same control (surprisingly,
in ConText it seems to halt on encountering \newinsert - another TeX
primitive that I often use for other purposes but which must have a
differently named equivalent in Context).
Context is like latex a macro package with its own interface and support
for footnotes, floats etc.
Unless you know what you're doing and the side effects with contexts own
mechanism you shouldn't use primitives like \insert.
The pstricks module isn't supported anymore and even in the past it
worked only when you used postscript as output format.
