< [[Main Page]] | [[Second Step]] | [[Next Steps]] >== Modifying the output style ==
{{todo|mention MKII It is possible to change the style of the output by using appropriate ''setup'' commands in the preamble. For example, to make the section titles bold and IV and both texexec and context already at this step}}to use italic (rather than slanted) font for emphasized words, use
This page describes the fundamentals of using ConTeXt. It includes hands-on examples, and the instructions assume that you have ConTeXt <context mode="mkiv" source="yes" text="which gives">\setuphead[section][Installation hints|installedstyle=\bfa]\setupbodyfontenvironment[default]. If you don't want to install it yet, you can [http://live.contextgarden.net try it on the webem=italic].
Start by typing the following into a [[Text Editors|text editor]] and saving it as <code>hello.tex</code>:
<texcode>
\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext
</texcode>
Then go to the command-line and type:
<pre>
texexec hello.tex
</pre>
ConTeXt will then process your document. It will output some information, such as follows—this output does ''not'' indicate an error:
<pre><nowiki>
TeXExec | processing document 'hello.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context

Once <tt>texexec</tt> has finished, it will leave behind a file called <tt>hello.pdf</tt>. Open it and you will see a "Hello world" document.
