Hi Bruce, If you want to use your standalone version of ConTeXt, you should create a specific « .engine » file for this and then in TeXShop use that engine. Here is what I have when I typeset a file in TeXShop using mkiv ConTeXt:
%%%%% begin file mkiv.engine #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate "$1" --purgeall %%%%% end file mkiv.engine you should replace the line « export PATH=…. » by the path to your installation of ConTeXt. Best regards: OK PS: regarding the installation and updates of ConTeXt on Mac, Thomas Floren has written a nice Apple Script which you can find here: Name: Ctx_typeset Tool Web page: <http://dflect.net/context-typeset-tool/> Author: Thomas Floeren <t...@dflect.net> > On 15 Dec 2015, at 23:00, Bruce Boghosian <bruce.boghos...@tufts.edu> wrote: > > I have made good progress today, thanks to the help of this list.
