* {{cmd|starttext}}: In a typical document, the text to be typeset is enclosed by this. {{cmd|definetext}} and {{cmd|setuptext}} are defined but have little documentation and don’t appear to be used much.
* {{cmd|startdocument}} and {{cmd|setupdocument}}: If customization is wanted, the text to be typeset can be enclosed by {{cmd|startdocument}} instead of {{cmd|starttext}}. The command {{cmd|startdocument}} allows for document metadata and can be configured with {{cmd|setupdocument}}.
* {{cmd|definehead}} and {{cmd|setuphead}}: The generic name for a section of a document in ''head'', so these commands allow you to define and customize your own sections. The main built-in sections are: part, chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, and their numberless counterparts. See the [[Titles]] page for further details.
* {{cmd|setupheader}}/{{cmd|setupfooter}}: These can be used to customize the headers and footers of a document, including whether or not anything should be displayed in them.
* {{cmd|setupheadertexts}}/{{cmd|setupfootertexts}}: If the headers and footers are set to display text, these commands allow you to customize what those texts are.
* {{cmd|definedescription}} and {{cmd|setupdescription}}: With these commands, you can define and customize your own ''descriptions''. For more details about descriptions, see the [[Description]] page.
* {{cmd|definecombinedlist}} and {{cmd|setupcombinedlist}}: Use these to define and custsomize combined lists. A ''combined list'' is a generalization of the table of contents. See the [[Table of contents]] page for further details.
* {{cmd|definepagebreak}}: This allows you to define a configuration for page breaks, as used in many different commands (including {{cmd|pagebreak}} and {{cmd|page}}.)
== Text formatting and decoration ==
These commands relate to how text is displayed, without repositioning the text (much).
* {{cmd|definehighlight}} and {{cmd|setuphighlight}}: These allow you to define and configure different ways of highlighting text.* {{cmd|defineframed}}, {{cmd|setupframed}}, : Use these to define and configure ways to place frames around single paragraphs of text. Note that this doesn’t break across pages.* {{cmd|defineframedtext}} and {{cmd|startframedsetupframedtext}}: Use these to define and configure ways to place frames around multiple paragraphs of text. Note that this doesn’t break across pages.* {{cmd|defineframedtextdefinetextbackground}} and {{cmd|setupframedtextsteuptextbackground}}: Use these to define and configure ways to place frames around multiple paragraphs of text, in a way that will break across pages.* {{cmd|definemathframed}} and {{cmd|setupmathframed}}: Use these to define and configure ways to place frames around symbols within mathematics.* {{cmd|defineblank}} and {{cmd|setupblank}}: These allow you to configure empty vertical space to insert in your document with {{cmd|blank}}.* {{cmd|definehspace}} and : This allows you to configure empty horizontal space to insert in your document with {{cmd|setuphspacehspace}}.* {{cmd|setupwhitespace}}: Use this to set the default amount of vertical space between paragraphs.* {{cmd|setupinterlinespace}}: Use this to set the default amount of vertical space between lines within paragraphs. * {{cmd|definelines}} and {{cmd|setuplines}}: These allow you to define regions in which a new line in code really does mean a new line in the compiled output. As described in the [[Verse]] page, this is particularly suitable for typesetting poetry.* {{cmd|definetyping}} and {{cmd|setuptyping}}: A ''typing'' region is a region in which you are typesetting verbatim text, such as computer code. These commands allow you to define and configure such regions.* {{cmd|definetype}} and {{cmd|setuptype}}: ''type'' is inline text that you are typesetting verbatim, such as computer code. These commands allow you to define and configure such regions.
