< [[Main Page]]== Modifying the output style ==
What It is ConTeXt? What can I do with it? Let’s see. Take your favourite text editor and type possible to change the style of the output by using appropriate ''setup'' commands in the following document. Save it as file hello.texpreamble.For example, to make the section titles bold and to use italic (rather than slanted) font for emphasized words, use <context mode="mkiv" source="yes" text="which gives">\setuphead[section][style=\bfa]\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
<texcode>
Hello World\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}] This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document.\stopsection
> [[Second StepCategory:Basics]][[Category:Sample documents]]

\stoptext
</texcodecontext> Now go to the shell/command line and type in <pre>texexec --pdf hello.tex</pre> and now ConTeXt will start. It will give you some output on your terminal <pre><nowiki> TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : test output : standard interface : en options : once nonstop current mode : none This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.2) \write18 enabled. %&-line parsing enabled.

This is the way it should look. Once texexec has finished, it will leave behind a file called <tt>hello.pdf</tt>. Open it and you will see a "Hello world" on a virtual A4 paper and a page number.
