fixed minor typos, updated ConTeXt signature
ConTeXt is a ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language markup laguagelanguage]'' used to primarily create PDF files. To use ConTeXt, create a text file (typically with a <code>.tex</code> extension) with ConTeXt markup and ''compile'' the file by running the command <code>context filename</code>. This creates a PDF file. This page explains how to create your very first ConTeXt document.
== First steps ==
You should get an output as follows:
<pre>
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.6061
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 20132014.0112.27 2129 10:2401
</pre>
Go to the command-line and type:
<pre>context hello.tex</pre>
ConTeXt will then process your document, display some logging information on the console, and generate a <tt>hello.pdf</tt> output file.
