Modules are extensions to ConTeXt's core functions.
There are not as many modules for ConTeXt as packages for LaTeX, because a lot of LaTeX package features are in ConTeXt's core.
Included modules:
- t-bib: bibliography (maintained by Taco)
- m-arabtex: loading of Lagally's ArabTeX
- m-chart: Flow Charts
- m-chemic: PPCHTeX (chemical structure formulae)
- m-cweb: CWEB pretty printing
- m-edtsnc: support for editor synchronization, will replace m-pdfsync
- m-educat: educational additions (for settings school tests or questionaires)
- m-gamma: Omega support
- m-graph: support for Metapost graph module
- m-layout: defines some Layout presets
- m-level: module for catching nesting errors
- m-newmat: support for some AMSmath features, is loaded by amsl, see Math with newmat
- m-pdfsnc: editor/PDF synchronization support (used by iTeXMac and TeXShop)
- m-pictex: needed for PicTeX without eTeX
- m-plus: loads some extra features (side bars?)
- m-pstric: connection macros for PSTtricks (PostScript tricks)
- m-quest: dutch only module for questionaires(?)
- m-steps: Step Charts, see XML step charts
- m-subsub: Defines 5 extra sectioning levels
- m-tex4ht: will become a tex4html interface for ConTeXt
- m-tryout: (changing, temporary functions for tryout)
- m-units: units
- m-visual: Visual Debugging (described in This Way no.7 Faking Text and More)
Contributed modules:
For a list of contributed modules see the modules section on contextgarden.net.
File names of included modules start with "m-", but third party (contributed) modules should start with "t-".
Modules writing guidelines
TODO
Each module should have an associated specification file (as in /tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml). Probably one day this will become a part of texshow and will also be easy-to-edit.
