This page describes the fundamentals of using ConTeXt. It includes hands-on examplesFirst, and the instructions assume make sure that you have ConTeXt [[Installation|is installed]]on your system. If you don't want To check that, go to install it yet, you can [http://live.contextgarden.net try it on the web].command line and type
Start by typing the following into a [[Text Editors|text editor]] and saving it as <codepre>hello.texcontext --version</codepre>:
Then go Go to the command-line and type:

Once <tt>context</tt> has finished, it will leave behind a == View the generated PDF file called == Open the generated <tt>hello.pdf</tt>PDF file using a [http://en. Open it and you will see a "Hello world" documentwikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Viewers PDF viewer].It should look as follows:
Hello World\section {Testing ConTeXt}This is my first ConTeXt document.
Better organization of the page.
< [[Main Page]] | [[Second Step]] | [[Next Steps]] >
You should get an output as follows:<pre>mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60mtx-context |mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkivmtx-context | current version: 2013.01.27 21:24</pre> If ConTeXt is not installed on your system, check the [[Installation|installation]] page for installation instructions. Follow the steps below to create a simple document using ConTeXt: == Create a ConTeXt file == Open a [[Text Editors|text editor]], type the following content, and save the file as <code>hello.tex</code>: <texcode>\starttext\starttextsection {Testing ConTeXt}Hello WorldThis is my first ConTeXt document.\stoptext</texcode> == Compile the ConTeXt file ==
<pre>context hello.tex</pre>
ConTeXt will then process your document. It will output , display some logging informationon the console, such as follows—this and generate a <tt>hello.pdf</tt> output does ''not'' indicate an error:file.
