== Choosing a text editor & compiling ==
Winedt does a good job. By default it comes for Tex, LaTeX compilation. It can be used to configure for context. Winedt is not free software. It can be downloaded from http://www.winedt.com=== For newbies [like Word (ex)users] ===
'''(TODO: Explain the difference between GUI/text editor/compiler; people often ask me: "ConTeXt - oh, you mean that program with a blue screen and colourful fonts?")''' * '''Scite''' or '''[http://www.winedt.com WinEdt]''' may be a good choice for a newbie. WinEdt has a rich graphical user-interface, but more support for LaTeX than for ConTeXt.ConTeXt support for Scite was written by Hans Hagen (ConTeXt developer himself) and also includes recognition and auto-completion(?) of most frequent ConTeXt commands. ''(You need to install winedt after WinEdt AFTER the installtion of miktexMikTeX, ghostscript and acroreader Acroreader for Windows.)'' See also: [[Text editor]] {{todo|Someone should write how to install Scite & ConTeXt support for windowsit without installing the stand-alone ConTeXt.}} === For gurus [like (La)TeX users or programmers] === You probably already have your favourite [[text editor]] (or at least you know what we're talking about) and you may skip this. If not, take a look at the [[Text editor]] page to help you choose one.* [[Vim]] or [http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki Emacs] may be a good choice if you're willing to invest some time into learning them - it may be worth the effort.
