NAME
       texshow - ConTeXt command and parameter reference


SYNOPSIS
       texshow [ OPTION ] [ COMMAND ] [ LANGUAGE ]


DESCRIPTION
       texshow  uses  perl(l)  and PerlTk (see Tk(k)) to show a
       overview of the commands and parameters of those.  In  the
       Tk  window  you  can search for a command and by switching
       the interface, you  can  see  the  equivalent  in  another
       interface language.

       COMMAND  is  a  ConTeXt  command  to  search  for  in  the
       database.  Note that Plain TeX commands are not  (yet)  in
       this  database although they can be used in ConTeXt source
       files.

       LANGUAGE can be one of cz (Czech), de  (German),  en  (US-
       English) or nl (Dutch).  The default language is Dutch.

       You  can also set the interface language with the --inter-
       face switch.


OPTIONS

       --interface=LANGUAGE
              Primary interface language.   See  DESCRIPTION  for
              LANGUAGE options.
