__NOTOC__
Here you find the Basics of ConTeXt '''[[#Document_structure|document structure]]''' and '''[[#Text_formatting|text formatting]]''' (because paragraphs, emphasis, verbatims, quotes... , etc also contributes contribute to the structure of your documents).
If it can helphelps, there is a [[Dictionary]] of typographical terms. There is are also an a few reference about references to the [[History of TeX]] (2007, ); it would benefit from an update).
