Help:Context

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 options are available:

• source=yes displays the source before the output.
• text="some text" places 'some text' between the source and the output.
• mode=mkiv ensures Mark IV is used instead of the default Mark II.

Examples

Plain example

Wiki markup	Wiki display
<context> \setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=0.5cm ]{hello world!} </context>

source=yes

Wiki markup	Wiki display
<context source="yes" text="produces"> \setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=0,5cm ]{hello world!} </context>	\setupcolors [state=start] \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=green, offset=0.5cm ]{hello world!} produces

mode=mkii and mode=mkiv

Wiki markup	Wiki display
<context source="yes"> Version: \contextversionnumber </context>	Version: \contextversionnumber
<context mode=mkiv source="yes"> % mode=mkiv Version: \contextversionnumber </context>	% mode=mkiv Version: \contextversionnumber

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[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
