| − | | + | [[Some Basic Commands]] |
| − | = ''start-stop'', ''setup'', and ''define'' =
| |
| − | There are three main types of commands in ConTeXt:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # '''start-stop''': To apply ''something'' to some text, enclose the text in {{code|\start''something''}} {{code|\stop''something''}}.
| |
| − | # '''setup''': To configure ''something'' for the rest of the document, use {{code|\setup''something''}}.
| |
| − | # '''define''': To create a named customization of ''something'', use {{code|\define''something''}}.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many commands don’t fit into one of these types, but here are some that do. Throughout this list {{code|start''something''}} is shorthand for {{code|start''something''}} {{code|stop''something''}}.

| − | | |
| − | == Structure ==
| |
| − | These commands relate to the structure of a document.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * {{cmd|starttext}}: In a typical document, the text to be typeset is enclosed by this. {{cmd|definetext}} and {{cmd|setuptext}} are defined but have little documentation and don’t appear to be used much.
| |
| − | * {{cmd|startdocument}} and {{cmd|setupdocument}}: If customization is wanted, the text to be typeset can be enclosed by {{cmd|startdocument}} instead of {{cmd|starttext}}. The command {{cmd|startdocument}} allows for document metadata and can be configured with {{cmd|setupdocument}}.
| |
| − | * {{cmd|definehead} and {{cmd|setuphead}}: The generic name for a section of a document in ''head'', so these commands allow you to define and customize your own sections. The main built-in sections are: part, chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, and their numberless counterparts. See the [[Titles]] page for further details.

| |
| − | * {{cmd|definetype}} and {{cmd|setuptype}}
| |
| − | | |
