'''This page is about editing pages on this wiki in general. For Formatting help editing command reference pages, also see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/[Help:Formatting wwwReference]].mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting]''' {{todo|Warning: explain here the use of ToDo category.}}

=== 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* <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> will also add a <b>timestamp</b> next to your nickname So you will usually write <code><nowiki>--~~~</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>

The markup used in this wiki is a general MediaWiki markup and is described in === How do I edit the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide MediaWiki User Guide] (esp. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing ).Main Page? ===

Most of the following markup on this help page The Main Page is specific protected to avoid spammers. However, you can still edit it (let's hope for stupid spammers). Type '''Template:Main Page''' after contextgarden. So, read on!net/ and edit that template.

Use the following markup [[Template:cmd|cmd template]] for command names in running text:

* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|startitemize}}</nowiki></codett>* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|startnarrower|[middle]}}</nowiki></tt>* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|startcolumns|2=[n=4]}}</nowiki></tt>* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|section|{First section}}}</nowiki></tt>

| Forgetting the pipe or the '2=' leads to this:* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|startnarrower[middle]}}</nowiki></tt>* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|startcolumns|[n=4]}}</nowiki></tt>* <tt><nowiki>{{cmd|section{First section}}}</nowiki></tt>

Sometimes, when editing an older page, you will see &lt;cmd&gt;\somecommand&lt;/cmd&gt; on this wiki. This is an older, deprecated form, and you should be turned it into <nowiki>{{cmd|somecommand}}</nowiki> wherever you see it. === Linking to parameter description pages === In 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 <nowiki>{{key|alternative}}</nowiki>, which expands to [[Command/keyword:alternative|<nowiki>[[Command/keyword:alternative]]</nowiki>]]. 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 code, commands, parameters, etc. in running text use <ttnowiki>&lt;{{code|some code}}</nowiki>. If there are equality signs in the code&gt; , use e.g.<nowiki>{{code|1=some=code}}</nowiki>, because the wiki 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&gt;</tt>}} tags, as templates are much easier to change.

parameters <{{code>|1=background=color</code> }} and <{{code>|1=offset=1cm</code>}}.

with the parameters <{{code>|1=background=color</code> }} and <{{code>|1=offset=1cm</code>}}.

Practically all of ConTeXt's source files are stored in the directory <{{code>|.../tex/context/base</code>mkiv}}. There are two templates to link to online versions copies of the source filefiles.
