+\startchapter[title={About this document}]
+
+This document is typeset in \CONTEXT\ using \LUATEX\ with \METAPOST. We use only
+one font: the Computer Modern Typewriter. The verbatim portions of the text are
+typeset in its mono spaced variant. One of the reasons that I chose this font is
+that we need a mono spaced font to typeset the example code, and the Computer
+Modern Typewriter is one the best there is. This font combines well with many
+other typefaces, but the sometimes excessive use of different fonts (and sizes)
+in the styles that I have to implement made me long for simplicity. And so I
+decided to stick to one font. A careful reader will notice that this document has
+character protruding enabled (resulting in hanging punctuation).
+
+We use a couple of colors. Again, I went for simplicity and use rather primary
+colors, although I do use them in transparent variants as well.
+
+There is not much more to say, apart from that I want to thank our customers as
+well as \CONTEXT\ users for asking me to implement \DTP\ competing styles and
+features. Their demands drive \CONTEXT\ in directions we could not have foreseen
+when we started its development.
+
+We use a (transparent) gray background behind the text so that we have an
+indication where the text area is positioned relative to the page. It also
+enables us to comfortably turn on the grid.
+
+Some features shown here are relatively new and therefore they occasionally are
+improved. As a result some aspects of their functionality may change.
