TODO: This FAQ needs to have a lot of things worked on. To avoid clutter from repeated TODO tags, just note missing answers with "...", and put notes about missing information in parentheses. (See: To-Do List)


Is ConTeXt free (open source) software?

Yes. See the Read Me page for details.

Does context support unicode?

Yes. It supports Unicode (utf-8) input, with the \enableregime[utf] command. (This needs a bit of elaboration!)

Why does \startalignment[right] or \framed[align=right]{some text} align my text left instead of right and vice versa?

This is for backward compatibility with older versions; see Right and left. Hans was originally thinking of "ragged right" and "ragged left" alignment. Use flushleft and flushright instead.

What are the advantages of ConTeXt over LaTeX?
