-\chapter{Preface}
-
-This manual is about \CONTEXT, a system for typesetting
-documents. Central element in this name is the word \TEX\
-because the typographical programming language \TEX\ is
-the base for \CONTEXT.
-
-People who are used to \TEX\ will probably identify this
-manual as a \TEX\ document. They recognise the use of
-\texescape. One may also notice that the way pararaphs are
-broken into lines is often better than in the avarage
-typesetting system.
-
-In this manual we will not discuss \TEX\ in depth because
-highly recommended books on \TEX\ already exist. We would
-like to mention:
-
-\startitemize[n]
-
-\item[texbook] the unsurpassed {\em The \TeX Book} by Donald
-E.~Knuth, the source of all knowledge and \TEX nical
-inspiration,
-
-\item[bytopic] the convenient {\em \TeX\ by Topic} by Victor
-Eijkhout, the reference manual for \TEX\ programmers, and
-
-\item[beginners] the recommended {\em The Beginners Book
-of \TeX} by Silvio Levy and Raymond Seroul, the book that
-turns every beginner into an expert
-
-\stopitemize
-
-For newcomers we advise (\in[beginners]), for the curious
-(\in[texbook]), and for the impatient (\in[bytopic]). \CONTEXT\
-users will not necessarly need this literature, unless one
-wants to program in \TEX, uses special characters, or has to
-typeset math. Again, we would advise (\in[beginners]).
-
-You may ask yourself if \TEX\ is not just one of the many
-typesetting systems to produce documents. That is not so.
-While many systems in eighties and nineties pretended to
-deliver perfect typographical output, \TEX\ still does a
-pretty good job compared to others.
-
-\TEX\ is not easy to work with, but when one gets accustomed
-to it, we hope you will appreciate its features,
