+On the \CONTEXT\ mailing list, occasionally a user asks if we can post a complete
+document with the associated style. One reason for not honouring this request is
+that we want users to cook up their own styles. Besides that, there are a couple
+of styles in the regular \CONTEXT\ distribution.
+
+When browsing through this document, a \CONTEXT\ user may wonder what style was
+used to achieve its look and feel. We hope that while reading the text and
+playing with the examples, the reader will accomplish the skills to define more
+than just simple layouts.
+
+This document is not easy reading. Occasionally we spend some time explaining
+features not described in other manuals. The design of this document is to a
+large extent determined by its purpose, and as a result not always functional.
+For instance, we typeset on a grid which doesn't look too good. Also the order of
+presenting features, tips and tricks is kind of random and unstructured. The idea
+is that the visual effects will draw you to the right trick. Also, if you really
+want to benefit from these features, there is no way but to read the whole story.
+
+In spite of all its shortcomings, I hope that you enjoy reading this (yet
+unfinished) manual. Keep in mind that this manual is far from finished.
