1 Introduction index commands definitions CONTEXT is a document engineering system and based on TEX. TEX is a typesetting system and a program to typeset and produce documents. CONT XT is easy to use and enables E colofon you to make complex paper and electronic documents. This manual describes the capabilities of CONTEXT and the available commands and their functionality.1 CONTEXT is developed for practical applications: the typesetting and production of doc- uments ranging from simple straight forward books upto very complex and advanced technical manuals and studybooks in a paper or electronic version. This introductory manual describes CONTEXT functionality necessary to apply standard text elements in a manual or studybook. CONTEXT however is capable of much more and for users who want more there are other CONTEXT manuals and sources available. CONTEXT has a multilingual interface to enable users to work with CONTEXT in their own language. CONTEXT and this manual is available in dutch, german and english. CONTEXT is published in the public domain with the help of the Nederlandstalige TEX Ge- bruikersgroep (NTG). All CONTEXT products and information can be obtained form the NTG-- server (WWW.NTG.NL). exit search + go back 1 All paper and electronic products around CONTEXT are produced with CONTEXT. All sources of these products are – + or will be made available electronically to give you insight in the way these products are made up. 3 How to create a document contents 1 1 How to create a document index commands definitions Let’s assume you want to create a simple document. It has some structure and contains a title page, a few chapters, paragraphs and sub paragraphs. Off course there is a table colofon of contents and a register. CONTEXT can create such a document automatically if you offer the right input by means of a file. So first you have to create an input file. An input file consists of a name and an extension. You can choose any name you want but the extension has to be tex. If you create a file with the name myfile.tex you will find no difficulties in running CONTEXT. An input file could look like this: \starttext \startstandardmakeup \middlelined{How to make a document.} \middlelined{by} \middlelined{The Author} \stopstandardmakeup \completecontent \chapter{Introduction} exit ... your text\index{indexentry} ... \chapter{One Chapter} search + \section[firstparagraph]{The
