User page of Esteis; my real name is Sietse Brouwer, e-mail address sbbrouwer@&mdash;gmail&mdash;.com. Somewhat experienced with ConTeXt by now, especially from filling in lots of command reference pages over at [[:Category:Commands]]. == Subpages of this page == * '''[[Special:PrefixIndex/User:Esteis/|All subpages of this page]]''' * [[User:Esteis/Cheat sheet|ConTeXt wiki cheat sheet]]* [[User:Esteis/XML|XML article]] == TODO == * Tell people that <nowiki>{{cmd|startnarrower|[left]}}</nowiki> --> {{cmd|startnarrower|[left]}} is now possible.* Make <nowiki>{{cmdstop|narrower}} that displays as {{cmd|stopnarrower}}, but links to {{cmd|startnarrower}}</nowiki>* Wiki entries on general {{code|1=key=value}} keys (well, the links to the entries):** are at {{code|<nowiki>[[Command/keyword:style]]</nowiki>}} (ugly)** should be at {{code|<nowiki>[[KeyValue/style]]</nowiki>}} (better)* We have the navbox template at [[Template:navbox]], but still need CSS and JS for it. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Transwiki#MediaWiki_files here]. == A design for this wiki == === A new command page template === See [[User:Esteis/New command template]]. === What sort of pages do we have on here? === * Command documentation ({{cmd|startitemize}}, {{cmd|setupnarrower}}* Description of mechanisms (heads, captions, itemize, floats, etc.)* Howto instructions (How to install ConTeXt, how to use text editor X with ConTeXt)* Snippet collections (make a framebox without borders)* Example style files * Description of mechanisms which contains a great many miscellaneous examples (e.g. [[Quotes]]).* MkII examples* MkIV examples* Bug workarounds Ithink the topics, first of all, should get Navboxes. Example from Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:France_topics France navbox], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox Navbox template]. They can be used to bind together...* The commands* The mechanism description pages* The example style files* The 'how to do X'm an entrysnippers...that are to do with a topic. === Why do people come here? === ; Getting started* What is ConTeXt?* I want to install ConTeXt* How can I get started on ConTeXt?* What documentation is available? ; Reference pages* I know a command, and want to look up what it does* I know what structure I want, and want to look up how to do it* I want more information on a mechanism. ; Development* I want to report a bug* I want to learn how to code a command in a ConTeXtic manner (Optional number of arguments, key-level value lists, \start...\stop, etc.)* I want to learn how to read the source code* I want to join development* I want to learn about ConTeXts social events (TUG meetings, etc.) ; How to edit the wiki itself* I want to make/edit a command page* What wiki improvement projects are ongoing?* I've got this nugget of knowledge, and I want to know where to put it.*  === Things to do === # Banners above command pages: "Click here to find out how to edit command pages"# Work out topics# Navboxes for the topics# A way to store examples/snippets. Taggable and searchable.#* Get all those examples/snippets out of the article pages.# Redesign the Main Page, with a link to the village pump# Work out jumpoff pages for "Why do people come here", and put those on the Main Page == Page template: Command reference == <pre>{{Reference|name=XXX|attributes=}} == [[Help:Reference|Syntax]] ==<table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="2" class="cmd"> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="cmd">\XXX<!-- --><span class="first">[...]</span><!-- --><span class="second">[...]</span><!-- --><span class="third">[...]</span><!-- --></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" class="first"> <td class="cmd">[...]</td> <td>''text''</td> </tr> <tr valign="top" class="second"> <td class="cmd">[...]</td> <td>''text''</td> </tr> <tr valign="top" class="third"> <td class="cmd">[...]</td> <td>''text''</td> </tr></table> == Description ==   == Example ==<!-- something like this:<context source=yes>...</context>Or use <texcode> tags if the example doesn't compile on this wiki--> == See also ==<!-- something like this:* {{cmd|setuphead}}* {{cmd|strc-sec.mkiv#l299}}--> == Help from ConTeXt user.-Mailinglist/Forum ==All issues with:{{Forum|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}} [[Category:Commands|XXX]]</pre>
