Re: [NTG-context] Mark IV or LuaMetaTeX?

Re: [NTG-context] Mark IV or LuaMetaTeX?
Hi Tommaso I use TeXworks with ConText stand alone LMTX. To set it up to run context do the following. Open TexWorks and then click on TexWorks in the menu bar then Preferences. The TexWorks Preference window will open up. Click on the Typesetting tab and you will see two panes. One marked "Paths for TeX and related Programs" and another marked "Processing Tools". Next to Processing Tools is a + button. Click on this and a "Tool Configuration" window appears. This is where you enter the details for processing by ConTeXt and this is how I have set this up on my mac mini M1. Name: LMTX % Here you need to use the Browse button to get to the mtxrun. On my mac it is the path to the directory tex which contains the file mtxrun as shown below. Yours may be different. Since mtxrun is an alias for luametatex it substitutes luametatex. I edited this to, mtxrun. Program: /Users/HomeDirectory/data/contextmacosarm64/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/mtxrun % Next enter the arguments as follows using the + button. Arguments: --autogenerate --script context --autopdf $fullname Click OK. This takes you back to the TeXworks Prefences window (which has stayed open anyway). You may have to enter some more paths to the Paths pane. I added /Users/HomeDirectory/data/contextmacosarm64/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin just to be on the safe side but it may not be needed. If I have made any mistakes I'm sure the great and the good in the ConTeXt community will correct me. I also use TeXshop but prefer TeXworks but to be honest with with you there is not much of a difference between the two in my ConTeXt use. I'm experimenting with atom but that is a wee bit more complicated since I have to use the console to run context.

[NTG-context] Mark IV
All,
Hans recommended I contact the list with my inquiry. I'm running
Leopard on a Mac, using Mactex, texlive 2008. I've updated my context
with:
sudo ctxtools --updatecontext
On a first run of ctxtools, I get this error:
loading : ConTeXt Core Macros / Environments
! Undefined control sequence.
argument ...def \...@ea \noexpand \csname \e!start
\v!setups
\endcsname {\beg...
\expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1
}\@@expanded
l.212 ...xpand\csname\e!stop\v!setups\endcsname}}}
I hit s several time to scroll through the errors til it finishes,
then run the command again:
sudo ctxtools --updatecontext
This time it seems to complete with no errors. This seem OK to folks?
Now, I'd like to give MKIV a try. I see the following instructions:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV
Are they adequate for my platform? That is, will they work if I follow
them to the letter? Or do folks have other advice?
Thanks.

- DTD declaration is not yet managed;

TeXExec | option 'filename' is set to 'someotherfile.tex', so how to
access this during processing using lua?
texmfstart texexec --lua myfile.tex --arg=name=someotherfile.zip
mak emyfile.tex your main tex file (use --global if needed) and then use
\env{name}
Thanks Hans! Not as elegant as I had hoped, but it does what I want when I
use \input zip::\env{name}::somezipcontent.tex in myfile.tex ...
Now is there any way to define the output-filename from within myfile.tex?
This would be analogous to texexec's '--result' option, but from within the
texfile to change the output-name with the help of the newly
defined '\env{name}' - in the example to '\env{name}.pdf'.
no ... maybe some day
this give us so many options.
I think about something like,
We can create a zip archive of a current project with a file ending
like cdx (ConTeXt Document Excange) and can now process this file by
calling texexec only on this file.
Nothing special at this moment for now but it is easier send only one
files to someone else instead of a many files or many files in a zip
file he has to unzip first and call texexec later on the main file.
What I want is to create a document in one directory with the normal
structure with projects, components, a figure directory etc. and zip
this directory to only one file. I can now process file simply by
calling texexec on the directory and it is unzipped on the fly
(unnoticed by the user) and I have no longer many different files in my
directory and it is easier to send a docuemnt to someone else because
he get from me only the zipped project file.
I know this is nearly the same as a openoffice document (also a zip
archive with many files) but why not.

I know this is nearly the same as a openoffice document (also a zip archive with many files) but why not. sounds interesting it's no big problem to implement this, but it makes most sense to stick to luatex for this because it has zip support built in, so there is no need to unzip then. things like the output, style etc can be controller using a ctx file but currently that file is handled outside the tex run for luatex, in the near future we will no longer use texexec but a lua based variant (this removes the dependency on ruby) (i have a prototype plugin for mtxrun for that; all support script will use mtxrun as stub) let's come back to it later this year when we have a more stable luatex Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Mark IV and pre-processing input file processing.
Hello,
I started playing around with ConTeXt/LuaTeX and have a question here wich
is related to a pet project of mine: is it possible to tell Mark IV
something like this
texmfstart texexec --lua --environments=myfile.tex someotherfile.zip
where 'myfile.tex' should contain a lua routine which would
unzip 'someotherfile.zip' to /tmp and call LuaConTeXt on a file actually
contained in the archive (among others)?
While I'm sure this can be done in Lua, I wonder whether somebody can point
me at how to access the names of files to be processed
('someotherfile.zip') from the running process ...
Not sure whether I can make myself understood here ... please ask if I'm not
making sense,
Joh

Thanks for that! I found the zipping reference and got it to work.
Returning now to the example above (texmfstart
texexec --lua --environments=myfile.tex someotherfile.zip), what I would
like to do is using lua in myfile.tex to extract the filename to be texed
(someotherfile.zip) and rewrite it on the fly to a zip-archive content
along the lines of
\input zip::someotherfile.zip::somezipcontent.tex
Is that possible? texmfstart texexec --verbose produces something like
TeXExec | option 'filename' is set to 'someotherfile.tex', so how to access
this during processing using lua?
Thanks for any insights,
Joh
