The First Document page provides a cursory introduction to typesetting document using ConTeXt. The Context page describes the command-line options in brief. This page provides additional information for command-line options.
--run
Process one or more files; this is the default action and may be omitted.
--autopdf
Reopen the generated PDF file in the system's default PDF file viewer after recompiling a document.
--purgeall
Delete all build artifacts generated during compiling of a document, such as .tuc and .log files.
--path=list
Provide a comma-separated list of paths for ConTeXt to search when processing. For example:
context --path="$HOME/writing/common/styles,$HOME/writing/amazing-novel/styles"
--result
Changes the output document file name. ConTeXt creates the output document file in the current working directory; this option cannot create or move the output document in a different directory. Instead, change the working directory before running ConTeXt and use the --path option to configure where ConTeXt searches for files to process.
