+<h3>What is ConTeXt?</h3>
+<p/><a href="http://www.pragma-ade.com/">ConTeXt</a> is a macro package
+developed by Hans Hagen of Pragma-Ade. 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&rsquo;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/>ConTeXt doesn&rsquo;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>.
