{{Note | description required}}TeX Live is a large TeX distribution for most Linux and BSD based operating systems. It provides binaries and many other files necessary to run TeX and its flavors. Many ConTeXt modules are included.
* [[Gantt charts]] (drawing Gantt charts)
Added the t-markdown module.
< [[The ConTeXt Way]]
Modules are extensions to ConTeXt's core functions.
===ConTeXt standalone===
Users of the ConTeXt standalone (formerly "minimals") distribution don't have to download the module files and unzipthem in the local directory, because they can use the <tt>first-setup</tt> script for this.
To install for example the simpleslides modules you write
* [http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lettrine t-lettrine] decorative paragraph starts (initials)
* [http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lilypond t-lilypond] include musical scores with GNU LilyPond
* [http://ctan.org/pkg/markdown t-markdown] render markdown documents
* [http://modules.contextgarden.net/mathsets t-mathsets] mathematical sets, probabilities etc.
* [http://modules.contextgarden.net/pararef t-pararef] {{cmd|startParagraph|link=no}}, for paragraphs as ‘thought blocks’ that may contain more than one 'TeX paragraph'. These paragraphs are numbered and can be referenced. See [[Paragraph Referencing]].
* t-pgfplots
* [http://modules.contextgarden.net/ruby t-ruby] Ruby markup (for Chinese, not programming language)

For a list of contributed modules see [http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/ tlcontrib] and/or [http://modules.contextgarden.net the modules section] on contextgarden.net.
* [[Math with amsl|amsl]] (AMSmath, see [[Math]])
* [[Gnuplot]]: support for direct inclusion of Gnuplot graphs out of the source (the module has been removed from the main distribution and will be included into third party modules again when ready)
File names of included modules start with "m-", but third party (contributed) modules should start with "t-".
An example:
<context source="yes">
\setuppapersize[A5]
\usemodule[int-load]
\loadsetups
\setupframedtexts
[setuptext]
[background=screencolor, backgroundcolor=lightgray,
frame=off]
</texcode>
Apart from the existing XML files in the ConTeXt tree there is little
documentation online, so feel free to relay your questions to
the [[ConTeXt_Mailing_ListsMailing list|mailing list]].
