< Inside ConTeXt | Visuals >
There's a whole lot of commands that help you analyzing and debugging your ConTeXt documents. Most of them start with \show... or \trace.... While \showsomething is a command that immediately inserts something, \tracesomethingtrue or ...false is a switch that influences the behaviour of some other commands. You can check the setting with \iftrace.... In the following we leave out the boolean value (true or false).
