Magazines
- First, the ConTeXt Group Journal. Actual PDFs can be downloaded starting about six months after publication of each journal issue. Until then, there is only a Table of Contents available.
- The MAPS is the NTG's journal, which has a lot of articles about ConTeXt and related subjects. You can search the articles and download older issues
- The TUG Boat, published three times a year.
- This Way Official ConTeXt magazine
- My Way ConTeXt magazine by its users
- [OLD] The PracTeX Journal is an online journal with several articles about ConTeXt. Some articles (those related to ConTeXt) are archived.
This Way
A ThisWay is yet another attempt on documenting ConTeXt. They are also called magazines. The following magazines are available:
- Introduction : for what is ThisWay, how to write a MyWay
- Hiding parts of section titles
- Page Ranges : multi-page references
- Pasting digits together : formatting numbers
- Manipulating the foreground : combining PDF pages
- Mixed Normal and Bold Math : see also Bold Math
- A Few Dangerous Features : text effects, overprint/knockout colors
- Faking Text and More : how to make fake text of black or colored boxes
- Dealing with XML : typesetting XML documents using XSLT without TeX code
- Using Platform Fonts : Installing True Type fonts (Verdana used as an example)
- Good Looking Shapes : typesetting in shapes
- Project Structure : Project Structure, July 2011
- Annotated Verbatim
- Cross document referencing
BTW: ThisWay are official Pragma documentation; if you write one yourself, call it MyWay!
My Way
ConTeXt on demand (broken)
- live.contextgarden lets you try ConTeXt without installing it
- MathML online test
- some more online interfaces to ConTeXt features both as HTML and PDF (list of the following); you must visit this login page first, otherwise the following links won't work
- This script provides an interface to ConTeXt’s page Imposition features (make booklets etc.)
- Here you can create n × m overviews (multiple pages on one sheet) of one or more PDF documents
- There is minimal typesetting involved in this interface: just a file listing.
- Here you can enter MathML code and test in what way you can control the output.
- You can use this interface to play with (combinations of) the ConTeXt_distribution's_Fonts.
- You can use this (dutch) interface to practice your handwriting, or let your kids practice theirs.
- You can use this interface to typeset documents with the latest ConTeXt.
- This is an interface to GhostScript, especially the PostScript to PDF converter.
- This document helps you to make resource libraries, formerly known as figure libraries (see XML, Image Database)
- You can keep track of what resources are used in a document. This document provides the interface to generating a log of used resources (see also Visual Debugging).
- This interface can be used to generate sheets with labels (stickers) or other grid oriented content. Each label is a separate page, and x × y pages are collected on a sheet.
