Revision as of 05:36, 9 May 2007
, 05:36, 9 May 2007→How to create a document: Removed an old comment
== How to create a document ==
* In the source, <code>\type{filename}</code> should be changed to <code>\filename{filename}</code>.
* The manual says that ConTeXt excepts plain ASCII input. This is not true (anymore) since you can input other encodings also. AFAIU, ASCII is just the first 128 characters, right?
* Page 4, change ''This can be done yet some other context command...'' to ''....done by '''another''' context ....''
* Change ''One can use texexec...'' to '' '''You''' can use ....'' (The previous sentence refers to the reader as you...)
* ''This perl script'' to ... ''this '''ruby''' script''
== How to process a file / Run CONTEXT ==
* Remove ''context filename''. AFAIK, the script '''context''' is not distributed by any tex distribution.
* At tex prompt ? S to scroll future error messages,
R to run without stopping, Q to run quietly, 1 or ... or 9 to ignore the next 1 to 9 tokens of input.
* Futher more -> Furthermore
* Explain that the log file is called myfile.log
* The document does not explain how to get the dvi. Something must be said about the backend drivers for dvi also.
== Special characters ==
* Table 3.2 is a bit confusing. These characters can be used in text mode also. The output of textmode looks different from the output of math mode
* Table 3.1 should also mention _ (underscore) and ^ (cadet).
* For all practical purposes in ConTeXt | (pipe) is also a special character.
== Defining a document ==
* In the source change <code>\type{command}</code> to <code>\tex{command}</code>
* $\cdots$ -> \unknown
== Headers ==
* \setupsectionblock[...][..,..=..,..]
== Itemize ==
* \startitemize[..,...,..][..,..=..,..] ... \stopitemize
* \setupitemize[.1.][..,.2.,..][..,..=..,..]
== Formulae ==
* \placeformula[ref,..]{.1.}$$.2.$$
== Using modules ==
* \usemodule[..,...,..]
* \loadmapfile[gbk] \usemodule[chinese]
== Appendix A User specifications ==
* \setupoutput[pdftex]
