Patrick knows it better, but I believe that rendering is done only once and then the old PNGs are used, so it shouldn't be any slower than if we upload a picture. [[User:Mojca Miklavec|Mojca]] 11:23, 12 Aug 2005 (CEST)

: Brooks, this is very nice! About the speed/rendering: If the text between the context tags is not changed, no TeX process will get started. Only a checksum is calculated for the code (which should be very fast for such short code). So I think that this is a good way. --[[User:Patrick Gundlach|pg]]

Here's an idea for the question-mark graphic. I'm not sure whether I like it or not, so I'm putting it here. If someone else likes it too, feel free to go ahead and use it. (I'm also not sure whether it's a good idea to have it as rendered ConTeXt -- it's a fun idea, but it may make it a bit slower to load.)

Wow! I haven't even thought about using internal ConTeXt stuff for rendering graphics. I would search forever for a good graphics elsewhere. Personally I like it. If someone doesn't like it or can do it better or if we want to unify the symbols later for whatever reason, it can still be redone, but I would leave the rendering work to ConTeXt.
