May I edit pages without signing in?
Yes, you may (mainly because we are still glad if the users who hate signing in can nevertheless contribute), but you are highly discouraged to do so. Please, sign in before contributing if possible. Even if you use a username/nickname with no resemblance to your real name, this is still better than not signing in at all.
How do I edit the first page?
First page is protected to avoid spammers. However, you can still edit it (let's hope for stupid spammers). Type Template:Main Page after contextgarden.net/ and edit that template.
How do I sign when posting a comment?
~~~
will expand into [[User:Yourusername|Yournickname]], so basically your nickname will be shown~~~~
will also add a timestamp next to your nickname
So you will usually write --~~~
or --~~~~
What are the other commands to edit this wiki?
The markup used in this wiki is a general MediaWiki markup and is described in the MediaWiki User Guide (esp. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing ).

<context>
Nice local feature of contextgarden allows you to run ConTeXt on the fly and the wiki page will include the result of the eneterd code in the page. See also http://live.contextgarden.net/ for an online ConTeXt.
wiki markup
<context> \setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=1cm ]{hello world!} </context>
wiki display
source="yes"
If you add source="yes"
to the <context>
tag, you have the source and the result displayed. The contents of the attribute text
will be inserted between the text and the result.
wiki markup
<context source="yes" text="produces"> \setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=1cm ]{hello world!} </context>
wiki display
\setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=1cm ]{hello world!}
produces
Links
You can use references to other garden projects. Use the following syntax to create links to the other contextgarden projects:
[[source:type-akb.tex| type-akb.tex]] [[modules:t-bnf| bnf module]] [[cmd:goto|\goto]]
Looks like:
- type-akb.tex -- source files of ConTeXt
- bnf module -- third party modules
- \goto -- links to the definition of the command
