ConTEXT is a text editor for Microsoft Windows.
It has built-in syntax highlighters for C, C++, Pascal, Delphi, FORTRAN, 80x86 assembler, Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic, Perl, CGI, HTML, SQL, Python, PHP, Tcl, Tk and its own syntax highlighter definition language. Other features are code templates and the ability to work with several document windows using the Multiple Document Interface. ConTEXT can integrate compilers to compile source code from within the editor, and run external tools to manipulate loaded files (e.g. Pretty Printer). The output of such external programs, e.g. error messages, can be captured for further use. Incremental search and basic regular expressions are supported for searching and replacing. ConTEXT is available in many languages.

In March 2009 the decision was made to make ConTEXT open source but as of March 2013 the editor cannot support UTF-8 and has no future and is no longer under development due to licensing issues with one of its components.
In computer science, a task context is the minimal set of data used by a task (which may be a process or thread) that must be saved to allow a task interruption at a given date, and a continuation of this task at the point it has been interrupted and at an arbitrary future date. The concept of context assumes significance in the case of interruptible tasks, wherein upon being interrupted the processor saves the context and proceeds to serve the Interrupt service routine. Thus, the smaller the context is, the smaller the latency is.
The context data may be located in processor registers, memory used by the task, or in control registers used by some operating systems to manage the task.
The storage memory (files used by a task) is not concerned by the "task context" in the case of a context switch, even if this can be stored for some uses (checkpointing).
In archaeology context is used as a technical term referring to the remains of an individual stratigraphic event. Contexts, therefore, are events in time which have been preserved in the archaeological record. The cutting of a pit or ditch in the past is a context, whilst the material filling it will be another. Multiple fills, seen as layers in archaeological section would mean multiple contexts. Structural features, natural deposits and inhumations are also contexts. By separating a site into these basic, discrete units, archaeologists are able to create a chronology for activity on a site and describe and interpret it. Artifacts in the main are not treated as contexts but belonging of them. Contexts can be referred to positive or negative depending on whether their formation added or removed material from the archaeological record. Negative contexts are cuts. It can not be stressed too strongly how fundamentally important the concept of context is in modern archaeological practice. Context is the prevalent term among English-speaking archaeologists but the terms locus and stratigraphic unit may also be used.
