LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS SANDBOX, THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED YET.

ConTeXt has a very logical structure: there are two basic rules of syntax and three basic principles of organization.

Two rules of syntax:

Three principles of organization (here method refers to an arbitrary text-processing method in ConTeXt):

To see how these rules and principles work, let's start with a minimal example of a ConTeXt document:

\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

+LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS SANDBOX, THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED YET.
+ConTeXt has a very logical structure: there are two basic rules of syntax and three basic principles of organization.
+Two rules of syntax:
+# To group some text as a single self-contained unit, enclose the text in { }.
+# Enclose arguments to ConTeXt commands in [ ].
+Three principles of organization (here ''method'' refers to an arbitrary text-processing method in ConTeXt):
+# To apply ''method'' to some text, enclose the text in <code>\start''method''</code>.
+# To cutstomize ''method'', use <code>\setup''method''</code>.
+# To define a named customization of ''method'', use <code>\define''method''</code>.
+To see how these rules and principles work, let's start with a minimal example of a ConTeXt document:

+\starttext
+\input knuth
+\stoptext
