still drafting this commands list
* {{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|defineheadersetupheader}} and /{{cmd|setupheadersetupfooter}}: These can be used to customize the headers and footers of a document, including whether or not anything should be displayed in them.* {{cmd|definemakeupsetupheadertexts}} and /{{cmd|setupmakeupsetupfootertexts}}: If the headers and footers are set to display text, these commands allow you to customize what those texts are.* {{cmd|setupheadertextsdefinemakeup}}, {{cmd|setupmakeup}}* , and {{cmd|setupfootertextsstartmakeup}}: A ''makeup'' is a page with a different formatting than the rest of the pages in the document (such as a title page or colophon). Use these commands to make and customize the formatting of such a page.* {{cmd|definesectionblock}} and {{cmd|setupsectionblock}}: A ''section block'' is a section of the document with its own page numbering format (such as the built-in section blocks {{code|frontpart}}, {{code|bodypart}}, {{code|backpart}}, and {{code|appendix}}). You can use these commands to define and customize section blocks.* {{cmd|definestartstop}} and {{cmd|setupstartstop}}: Use these commands to define and customize your own ''start-stop'' regions.* {{cmd|setupblock}} and {{cmd|setupblock}}: Use these commands to define and customize your own formats for blocks of text. These are somewhat similar to ''start-stop'' regions, but there is one major difference: there commands such as {{cmd|hideblocks}} to turn off the display of blocks. For other such commands, see the documentation for {{cmd|setupblock}}.* {{cmd|definelist}} and {{cmd|setuplist}}: Use these to define and customize your own types of lists.* {{cmd|definelistalternative}} and {{cmd|setuplistalternative}}: These commands allow you to define and customize options for the {{code|alternative}} key in {{cmd|setuplist}}.* {{cmd|definedescription}} and {{cmd|setupdescription}}: With these commands, you can define and customize your own ''descriptions''. For more details about descriptions, see the [[Description]] page.* {{cmd|definecombinedlist}} and {{cmd|setupcombinedlist}}: Use these to define and custsomize combined lists. A ''combined list'' is a generalization of the table of contents. See the [[Table of contents]] page for further details.* {{cmd|definepagebreak}}: This allows you to define a configuration for page breaks, as used in many different commands (including {{cmd|pagebreak}} and {{cmd|page}}.
