The authors of the manual meant ConTeXt use plain text files
as input, the encoding of the files is not limited to ASCII
chars, you could use UTF-8 without problems.

What is ABNT?

For file encoding take a look at this page:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes


To tell ConTeXt your document is encoded in UTF-8, write

\enableregime[utf]
% more settings
\starttext
your text
\stoptext

in your document.


The ConTeXt wiki has also page for VIM and TextMate:

- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim
- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TextMate
