The library
- ConTeXt and LuaTeX documentation is quite extensive. Start with Overview. The other manuals go into detail to understand the foundations, explore advanced features, modify or write features.
- Old manuals are marked with an "deprecated" banner. They can help you find your way between the different versions.
- You can also have a look to the other ConTeXt Community Web resources like magazines.
- Overview
- Fonts
- Color
- Graphics
- Layout
- Tables
- Bibliography
- Sciences
- Interaction
- Languages
- ConTeXtTools
- XML
- Programming-DB
- Development
- TextEditors
- LowLevelTex
Deprecated manuals
Remarks
- To save time of developers, please, read the manuals before you start asking questions at the mailing list.
- Most of the manuals are available in the ConTeXt distribution, and on the mirrors like bitbucket.org, with their sources,
- An other overview is also available at Pragma-Ade website, with an interactive PDF as the Manuals Gallery,
- Some printed versions can be purchased from H2O-Books:
- MetaFun manual - 2010
- MKII – MKIV, the history of LuaTeX - 2010
- Layouts in ConTeXt - 2011
- Fonts in ConTeXt - 2011
- Henri Menke also gathers and comments this precious material at The definitive guide to ConTeXt MkIV documentation.
