implementation notes moved
: You tried to create a page for a ConTeXt command that is not documented in the interface files. Check that you didn't make a typing error first. Alternatively, it is possible that the ConTeXt command is a generated instance, and in that case the page should be a `<nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki>`. If neither are the case or you are unsure, ask for advice on the mailing list.
* '''When saving my edit, I see some red text with an XML error.'''
: [[Command]] pages must be either well-formed XML, or nothing but a `<nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki>`. You likely made a booboo with an XML tag or have an unquoted `<` or `>` or `&` somewhere. Only the content of `<nowiki><xmlcode></nowiki>`, `<nowiki><texcode></nowiki>`, and `<nowiki><context></nowiki>` are exempt from the normal XML rules (but on the downside, they cannot be nested). Note You will need to properly quote any attributes, though. And note that <nowiki><pre></nowiki> and <nowiki><code></nowiki> content should be properly quoted as well: the wikicode tag is not the same as the actual HTML tag, even though its results are visually similar.
* '''I tried to edit a section, but I see an error that says 'Section not found'.'''
: Only the predefined top-level sections can be edited separately (this limitation is likely to stay).
* The <code><nowiki></code> tag is '''forbidden''' anywhere within a Command page.
* Don't use regular HTML tags except for <code><b></code>, <code><i></code>, <code><tt></code>, <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><code></nowiki></code>. '''As noted above:''' even the content of <code><pre></code> and <code><code></code> must be properly quoted according to the XML rules: use XML entities for less-than, greater-than and ampersand: <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&gt;</code> and <code>&amp;</code>
* You don't have to quote the XML special characters inside the text content of the <code><nowiki><texcode></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><xmlcode></nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki><context></nowiki></code> tags. These three are handled as special cases to make porting existing pages easier([[Extension:ConTeXtXML#Implementation notes]] explains this in more detail).
* You can also use the regular [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting wikicode markup].
* Almost all inline wikicode can be used anywhere textual input is allowed (the exception is <code><nowiki></code>), and the section block wiki codes can be used in descriptions, examples, and notes.
