ConTeXt is a +document-production system based, like LaTeX, on the TeX +typesetting system. Whereas LaTeX insulates the writer from +typographical details, ConTeXt takes a complementary approach by +providing structured interfaces for handling typography, including +extensive support for colors, backgrounds, hyperlinks, presentations, +figure-text integration, and conditional compilation. It gives the +user extensive control over formatting while making it easy to create +new layouts and styles without learning the TeX macro +language. ConTeXt’s unified design avoids the package clashes that +can happen with LaTeX. +<p/>ConTeXt also integrates MetaFun, a superset of MetaPost and a powerful +system for vector graphics. MetaFun can be used as a stand-alone +system to produce figures, but its strength lies in enhancing +ConTeXt documents with accurate graphic elements. +<p/>ConTeXt allows the users to specify formatting commands in English, +Dutch, German, French, or Italian, and to use different typesetting +engines (PDFTeX, XeTeX, Aleph, and soon LuaTeX) without +changing the user interface. ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in +response to requests from the user community. +<p/> + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<p/>ConTeXt doesn’t yet have quite such a large developer community as +does LaTeX, but those developers who are active seem to have +prodigious energy. Support is available via a +<a href="http://contextgarden.net">WIKI site</a> and via the +<a href="http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context">mailing list</a>. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>ConTeXt distribution</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context.zip">macros/context</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/context/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/> +<p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=context">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=context</a> +</body> |
