Core tools
- Mark IV
- an introduction
- mtxrun script
- the helper script for all sorts of ConTeXt-related things, from individual runs to managing the installation tree
- context script
- it has two main uses: (1) compiling ConTeXt MkIV documents, and (2) recompiling the ConTeXt core format after you change one of the source files.
- Visual Debugging
- show the nasty details of your code, to understand and tweak ConTeXt typesetting.
Additional tools
- Modules
- LaTeX users call them "packages", DTP users "plug-ins"
- PDF format output
- ConTeXt can define the set of PDF Boxes defined by the PDF standard. It can create PDF/A and PDF/X (ISO standard) compliant outputs.
- From LaTeX to ConTeXt
- Particular tricks that are useful for moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt.
- Posting on arxiv.org
- How to submit ConTeXt documents to [1], the worldwide, heavily used physics (and now mathematics and computer science) open-access preprint server.
- Sharing graphics
- Export MetaPost drawings as PDF, import MetaPost drawings into MS Office, LibreOffice, etc.
