9Every document is started with \type{\starttext} and closed with
10\type{\stoptext}. All textual input is placed between these two commands and
11\CONTEXT\ will only process that information.
12
13Setup information is placed in the set up area just before \type{\starttext}.

58\CONTEXT\ comes with a predefined overall structure in which the document is
59divided into four main document divisions:\footnote{Here we try to avoid the
60word {\em section}.}
61
62\startitemize[n,packed]
63\item front matter
64\item body matter
65\item appendices
66\item back matter
67\stopitemize
68
69The document divisions are defined with:
70
71\starttyping
72\startfrontmatter ... \stopfrontmatter
73\startbodymatter ... \stopbodymatter
74\startappendices ... \stopappendices
75\startbackmatter ... \stopbackmatter
76\stoptyping
77
78The chapters in your book can be divided over these divisions.

118In the front matter as well as back matter the command \type{\chapter}
119produces an unnumbered header in the table of contents. The front matter is mostly
120used for the table of contents, the list of figures and tables, the preface, the
121acknowledgements etc. It often comes with a roman page numbering.
122
123The appendices division is used for (indeed) appendices. Headers may be typeset in
124a different way; for example, \type{\chapter} may be numbered alphabetically.
125
126The style of each document division can be set up with:
127
128\shortsetup{setupsectionblock}
129
130\stopchapter
131
132\stopcomponent
