During the processing of your input file \CONTEXT\ +will also inform you of what it is doing with your document. For example it will +show page numbers and information about processing steps. Further more it gives +warnings. These are of a typographical order and tells you when line breaking is +not successful. All information on processing is stored in a \type{log} file that +can be used for reviewing warnings and errors and the respective line numbers +where they occur in your file. + +If processing is succesful the command line prompt will return and \CONTEXT\ will +produce the file \type{myfile.pdf}. The abbreviation \PDF\ stands for Portable +Document Format. This is a platform independent format for printing and viewing +with \READER. + +When you use a configurable text editor you can also run \CONTEXT\ from that editor. +More information on that topic can be found \in{appendix}[texteditor]. + +\stopchapter + +\stopcomponent |
