The options relevant to all ConTeXt commands are provided towards the end of cont-en?.pdf Perhaps mp-cb-en.pdf should be read first. I started out doing regular stuff such as formatting tables, sections, columns and the like. For more detailed control, it may be better to dwelve into some of the more specialized manuals archived at context.pragma.de The following website also may be of interest to you: http://levana.de/context/ And then there is the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net I think the best way to learn is by trying to make the document you want in ConTeXt and asking questions to the mailing list when you cannot figure out how to do it. hope it helps, saji ... * Istvan Hollerbach [2007-08-20 12:24:04 +0200]: > Hi Everybody, > > I want to learn ConTeXt, but 'cont-enp.pdf' and 'mp-cb-en.pdf' do not > explain many things in detail, for example the parameters of command > \setuplayout on the page 24 of cont-enp.pdf.
