The <context> ... </context> tags process their ConTeXt contents on the fly and include the result on the page as an image. Whitespace is cropped out. The following attributes may be set:
source=yesdisplays the source before the output.text="some text"places 'some text' between the source and the output.mode=mkivensures Mark IV is used instead of the default Mark II.
Quotation marks around attribute strings are only required if the attribute contains non-alphabetic characters.
For some reason, examples using the default A4 paper size usually end up blown up twice as large. If this happens, include \setuppapersize[A5] in your example, and everything will display at its proper size again. This has the added advantage that the resulting image will never be too large for this wiki's main column.

mode=mkii and mode=mkiv
By default, the wiki compiles examples using MkII. You can specify that you want to use MkIV by adding the option mode=mkiv to the tag. Because MkII examples are visually indistinguishable from MkIV examples, it is good practice to start MkIV examples with a comment % mode=mkiv.

Displaying multiple pages
\setuppapersize[A10, landscape][A8, landscape] \setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2] % arrange pages 2 by 2 (must come before \setuparranging[XY]) \setuparranging[XY] % arrange pages n by n (across, then down) \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] % page numbers are always useful \showframe[edge] % Draw line around each page. Prevents overzealous cropping one \page[yes] two \page[yes] three \page[yes] four
