Yes, you may (mainly because we are still glad if the users who hate signing in can nevertheless contribute), but you are highly <b>discouragedhighly encouraged</b> to do so. Please, sign in before contributing if possible. Even if you use your account has a username/nickname with no resemblance to your real name, this is still better than not signing in at allwhile editing.

=== How What commands do I use to edit the first pagethis wiki? ===

First page is protected to avoid spammers. HoweverIn order of increasing generality, you can still edit it (lethave a look at: * Mediawiki's hope for stupid spammers)[http://www.mediawiki. Type org/wiki/Help:Formatting guide to formatting]* Mediawiki'''Templates [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing guide to editing in general]* [http:Main Page''' after contextgarden//meta.wikimedia.netorg/wiki/ MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide Mediawiki User Guide]* There are some special commands and edit that templatetemplates available on this wiki; they are described on the rest of this page.

* '''You type:''' <code><nowiki>--~~~</nowiki></code> will expand into <nowiki>(three tildes)* '''Looks like:''' --[[User:YourusernameEsteis|YournicknameEsteis]]</nowiki>, so basically your <b>nickname</b> will be shown * '''You type:''' <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code> will also add a <b>timestamp</b> next to your nickname(four tildes)* '''Looks like:''' --[[User:Esteis|Esteis]] 16:37, 14 June 2012 (CEST) === How do I edit the Main Page? === So The Main Page is protected to avoid spammers. However, you will usually write <code><nowiki>--~~~<can still edit it (let's hope for stupid spammers). Type '''Template:Main Page''' after contextgarden.net/nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>and edit that template. == In--~~~~</nowiki></code>line elements ==

=== What are the other ConTeXt commands to edit this wiki? ===

The markup used in this wiki is a general MediaWiki markup and is described in Use the [http[Template://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide MediaWiki User Guidecmd|cmd template]] (esp. httpfor command names in running text:* <nowiki>{{cmd|mycommand}}</nowiki>, * <nowiki>{{cmd|mycommand|parameters, text, etc.}}</metanowiki>That way, you get an automatic link to e.wikimediag.org/wiki/Help:Editing ){{cmd|startnarrower}}, or {{cmd|startnarrower|[middle]}}.

=== In-line elements ConTeXt many {{code|1=key==----'''value}} parameters are common across commands, so this wiki intends to have separate description pages for those parameters. Those are not linked from the text, in general, but they are linked from the syntax tables on command description pages. ([[Command/setupframed|Example]].) The linking is achieved with <codenowiki>{{key|alternative}}</nowiki>, which expands to [[Command/keyword:alternative|<codenowiki>[[Command/keyword:alternative]]</nowiki></code>']]. Nearly all the target pages do not exist yet, but don't let that stop you from linking to them. We'll get around to filling them in.

For in-line markup of === Other inline code, commands, parameters, etc. in the running text use <code><nowiki><code> ... </code></nowiki></code>.===

''For in-line markup of code, commands, parameters, etc. in running text use <nowiki>{{code|some code}}</nowiki>. If there are equality signs in the code, use e.g. <nowiki>{{code|1=some=code}}</nowiki>, because the wiki markup''templating software interprets all text up to the first equality sign as a template parameter name. Please do use the {{code|code}} template instead of the {{code|&lt;code>}} tags, as templates are much easier to change.

{| class=wikitable! scope=col width=360 style="text-align: left"| You type! scope=col width=360 style="text-align: left"| You see|- style="vertical-align: top"| <xmlcode>In the following examples we use <code>\the {{cmd|framed</code> }} command with the parameters <{{code>|1=background=color</code> }} and <{{code>|1=offset=1cm</code>}}.

''wiki display''| style="background-color: white" |In the following examples we use the {{cmd|framed}} command with the parameters {{code|1=background=color}} and {{code|1=offset=1cm}}.|} === Linking to source files ===

In Practically all of ConTeXt's source files are stored in the following examples we use <directory {{code>\framed<|.../tex/code> command with the parameters <code>background=color<context/code> and <code>offset=1cm<base/code>mkiv}}. There are two templates to link to online copies of the source files.----

=== Block elements ===----Link to the most recent version (recommended):* '''You type:'''<code><nowiki><pre>{{src|type-akb.tex}}</nowiki><* '''Links to:''' https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/code>type-akb.tex* '''Looks like:'''{{src|type-akb.tex}}

This is very useful for including in-page examples. Below are two simple ones; for more, see [[Help:Context]].

=== Displaying a ConTeXt command syntax ===If you want to show the calling convention(s) of a ConTeXt command, you can use <precode><nowiki><syntax> ... </syntax></nowiki></code>. This is an announcement from the mailing list with some codeparticularly useful in a "Command" page.
