< Main Page, First Document

Here's a slightly more complex example:

% the first line can hold texexec's command line options
\enableregime	[il1]		% choose input encoding: il1 is "ISO Latin 1" (ISO 8859-1)
\mainlanguage	[de]		% language mode: changes typesetting rules, quote signs etc.
\starttext
Rotkäppchen:
\quotation{Aber Großmutter, warum hast du so große Augen?}

Der böse Wolf:
\quotation{Damit ich dich besser {\em sehen} kann!}

\stoptext
  • regime is the input encoding, i.e. what you type, so that you can use accented characters (like umlauts in the example) directly. It depends on your language, your OS and the capabilities of your editor. Try "utf8" if your editor can process Unicode!
  • language is the language of your text. Besides \mainlanguage there's also \language to switch temporarily.
  • quotation: use logical markup instead of specified signs! You get single quotes with \quote. Use \startquotation ... \stopquotation for longer quotes.
  • em: again, logical markup! say "emphasized" instead of bold or italics. Remember, it's a switch, not a command! (Not \em{bla}, but {\em bla}.)
