Access @context outside of article template?

[joshwayne]

I'm trying to get the first article to display on the index by calling the articles and just limiting the scope of the list to the first item. The problem is I can't seem to call any of the custom data using the @context variable.

The wiki seems to say that I should be able to access the data when it's "not in the article templates" but I can't seem to get it working. Is this a bug or am I just daft?

Can you attach your code (with filename) that works wrong?
