Installation
ConTeXt comes from the Land of Flowers and resembles the flowers as well. It can make beautiful documents, but you have to use the fresh, latest version if possible. If you have TeXLive, teTeX, MikTeX, fpTeX or a similar system installed, ConTeXt probably already resides on your computer (try running texexec
and check how old it is), if not you can download it from here.
