Summary:
Hardly any TeX user makes use of TeX in its "native" form as presented by the initex and virtex programs. Instead, a particular format-macro package, prepared by someone in order to make his or her work easier, is made use of. Nowadays there are two such formats which are mainly used in the Czech Republic: plain TeX and LaTeX. In the near future one more format could join them: ConTeXt. And not only join but maybe even displace LaTeX from its dominant position. In order to make it happen the author wishes to get you acquainted with ConTEXt in this contribution.
