Dear list,

I’m writing a document on ConTeXt and I have two questions on
terminology. As I have been using LaTeX over a decade, I don’t know
whether my descriptions are accurate in ConTeXt.

Don’t worry, My questions are extremely basic ;-).

What is the name for the part of the document that comes before
\starttext? The ConTeXt manual seems to use preamble, but I would like
to confirm this use.

preamble is fine (one can also speak of source header, but i think preamble is better) ... anything after \stoptext is ignored so that would be 'comment'

The other question is more tricky. Or at least I don’t find an obvious
answer. Which is the correct expression to name any
\start...-\stop....structure? Environment would be the LaTeX term, but
this is reserved in ConTeXt.

(structure) element is fine (also in sync with xml begin/end)

Many thanks for your help,

Hans
