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. Or am I careless? How shall
I start to learn? And how shall I go on learning?
Best regards,
Istvan Hollerbach

Hi Istvan,
For somebody used to LaTeX, it may be useful to check up
http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/
there is an article about doing similar things in LaTeX and
ConTeXt.
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

Another strategy is to find a document that can serve as a template for
what you need. The wiki provides examples of fragments to do a particular
task, and there are lots of examples of complete documents available,
including the pdftex manual and various slide presentations.

Specifically for page layout, you may find Paul Tremblay's tutorial
page useful.
http://getfo.org/context_xml/index.html
It is about using xml, but does explains the context's page layout
terminology in detail.
