\startsubject[title=Some myths]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem \CONTEXT\ looks al lot like plain \TEX\ and expects users to program macros. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem \CONTEXT\ depends on \RUBY. \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\startsubject[title=The truth]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem On the average users don't have to program. Configuring is not programming. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem As \TEX\ lacks commandline handling and job control, helpers are provided. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Of course users can still program a lot, but not all need that. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Of course users can directly run \CONTEXT, but why should they. \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\startsubject[title=A few facts]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem The \CONTEXT\ distribution provides a sort of ecosystem. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem In \MKII\ indeed we use \RUBY\ for some job control. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem But in \MKIV\ all is (of course) done in \LUA. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Two scripts play an important role: mtxrun and context. \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\StopSteps
\page
\StartSteps
\startsubject[title=The \quote {mtxrun} script]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem Locates and runs scripts, has a lot of helpers preloaded. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem It is in fact my \LUA\ runner on top the \TEXLUA. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem It knows about files and the environment we run in. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem It has some features that makes it easier to integrate in services. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem This way we don't need stubs (and avoid potential conflicts in name). \stopitem \FlushStep
\stopitemize
\stopsubject
\startsubject[title=The \quote {context} script]
\startitemize[packed]
\startitem It runs \CONTEXT\ and keeps track of how many runs are needed. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem Contrary to its \MKII\ ancestor it is not needed for index sorting etc. \stopitem \FlushStep
\startitem It has a few extensions that are loaded on demand: extras \stopitem \FlushStep
