What is ConTeXt? What can I do with it? Let’s see. Take your favourite text editor, type in the following document and save it as a file hello.tex.
\starttext Hello World \stoptext
It shows already a ConTeXt essential: everything's between \startsomething and \stopsomething.
If you don't have ConTeXt installed (yet), you can first try out the latest version using the web interface http://live.contextgarden.net.
If you already installed it, you can go to the shell/command line and type in
texexec hello.tex
and now ConTeXt will start. It will give you some output on your terminal

Don’t be worried. This is the way it should look. Once texexec has finished, it will leave behind a file called hello.pdf. Open it and you will see a "Hello world" on a virtual A4 paper and a page number.
