Added introduction

ConTeXt is a document engineering system based on [[TeX]].
TeX is a typesetting system and a programming language to
typeset and produce documents. ConTeXt is easy to use and
enables you to make complex paper and electronic documents.
This manual describes the capabilities of ConTeXt, the
available commands and their functionality.
ConTeXt is developed for practical applications: the
typesetting and production of documents ranging from simple
straight forward books up to very complex and advanced
technical manuals and textbooks in a paper or an electronic
version. This introductory manual describes the ConTeXt
functionality necessary to apply standard text elements in a
manual or textbook. ConTeXt, however, is capable of much
more and for users who want more there are other ConTeXt
manuals and sources available.
ConTeXt has a multilingual interface to enable users to
work with ConTeXt in their own language. ConTeXt and
this manual are available in Dutch, German, English and Czech.
