What is ConTeXt? What can I do with it? Let’s see. Take your favourite text editor and type in the following document. Save it as file hello.tex.
\starttextmtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03Hello Worldmtx-context |\stoptextmtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkivmtx-context | current version: 2019.07.24 11:17
Now go If ConTeXt is not installed on your system, check the [[Installation|installation]] page for installation instructions. Follow the steps below to create a simple document using ConTeXt: == Create a ConTeXt file == Open a [[Text Editors|text editor]], type the following content, and save the shellfile as <code>hello.tex</code>: <texcode>\starttext\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}] This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document.\stopsection\stoptext</texcode> Words starting with a backslash (such as <code>\starttext</code>) are called '''command line sequence''' or '''macros'''. The macros <texcode>\starttext....\stoptext</texcode> mark the content to be typeset. The material before <code>\starttext</code> (called ''preamble'') is used to change the style of the output; any material after <code>\stoptext</code> is ignored. The macros <texcode>\startsection[title={...}]...\stopsection</texcode> mark the title and type the content of a section. The macro <code>{\em ...}</code> is a [[Font Switching| font switch]] that emphasizes the content (by showing it inslanted font).

→Compile the ConTeXt file
< [[Main Page]]| [[Detailed Example]] >
ConTeXt is a ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language markup language]'' 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 ==
Make sure that ConTeXt is installed on your system. To check that, go to the command line and type
<pre>context --version</pre>
You should get an output as follows:
<pre>
