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.

Yes. It supports Unicode (utf-8) input, with the \enableregime[utf] command. See also Encodings and Regimes (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?

What are the advantages of ConTeXt over LaTeX?
