LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS SANDBOX, THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED YET.
Contents
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
\startsomething\stopsomething. - setup: To configure something for the rest of the document, use
\setupsomething. - define: To create a named customization of something, use
\definesomething.
Many commands don’t fit into one of these types, but here are some that do:
Structure
These commands relate to the structure of a document.
- \definestartstop and \setupstartstop
- \setupblock and \setupblock
- \definelist and \setuplist
- \definelistalternative and \setuplistalternative
- \definecombinedlist and \setupcombinedlist
Text formatting and decoration
These commands relate to how text is displayed, without repositioning the text (much).
- \definehighlight and \setuphighlight
- \defineframed, \setupframed, and \startframed
- \defineblank and \setupblank
Layout and Design
These commandds relate to how text is laid out on the page, possibly moving or positioning the text.
