User page of Esteis; my real name is Sietse Brouwer, e-mail address sbbrouwer@—gmail—.com. Quite 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
I think 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' snippers
...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-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 ==

--><span class="thridthird">[...]</span><!--
--></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top" class="first">
<td class="cmd">][...]</td>
<td>''text''</td>
</tr>
== Example ==
<!-- something like this:<context source=yes>...</context>Or use <texcode> tags if the example doesn't compile on this wiki-->

<!-- something like this:* {{cmd|setuphead}}* {{cmd|strc-sec.mkiv#l299}}-->
