< [[Main Page]] | [[Hello world|Detailed example]] >== Modifying the output style ==
First, make sure that ConTeXt It is installed on your systempossible to change the style of the output by using appropriate ''setup'' commands in the preamble. To check thatFor example, go to make the command line section titles bold and typeto use italic (rather than slanted) font for emphasized words, use
<pre>context --version</premode="mkiv" source="yes" text="which gives">\setuphead[section][style=\bfa]\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
You should get an output as follows:
<pre>
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2013.01.27 21:24
</pre>
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 file as <code>hello.tex</code>:
<texcode>\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my first ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext</texcode>
== Compile the ConTeXt file ==
Go to the command-line and type:
<pre>context hello.tex</pre>
ConTeXt will then process your document, display some logging information on the console, and generate a <tt>hello.pdf</tt> output file.

== View the generated PDF file ==
Open the generated <tt>hello.pdf</tt> PDF file using a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Viewers PDF viewer]. It should look as follows:
<context mode=mkiv>
% Draw a white frame so that the page is not truncated.
% But it does not seem to work :(
\setupbackgrounds[page][frame=on,framecolor=white]
\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my {\em first } ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext
</context>
