→The #context IRC channel: Freenode -> Libera
== The #context IRC channel==
There is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat IRC] [irc://chatirc.freenodelibera.netchat#context channel at freenodelibera.chat]. There are about 5-10 users online regularly, and there is used to be the TeXbot maintained by Troy Henderson that allows real-time testing of ConTeXt, MetaPost, and LaTeX code.
See further down to learn how to use the bot; the basic IRC commands; and how to start using IRC in general. Sorry about putting the most introductory section at the bottom; it is there because it is also the longest section.
ConTeXt:
!c Here This is my formula: \math{\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = F(b)-F(a)}contextversionnumber
MetaPost:
!m draw fullcircle scaled 72;
