When I used to run texexec figlibSection3.xml, I would get my figures, then the gui screens with figure embedded. Now, with texmfstart texexec figlibSection3.xml, I get my figures, the gui screens, then duplicates of all the figures after that. Thus, two copies of every figure is embedded in the figure library.

How do I configure my system to use texmstart? Under windows it comes as an executable, under linux I sometimes created an executable file named texexec (in the bin folder of course) with the content ruby path-to-context-ruby-scripts/texmfstart.rb Here's a citation from a mac user: On 5/25/06, Hans van der Meer wrote: I did some digging in the .../context/ruby script directory and found a small problem with the script, at least for some users. On my MacOSX system the script file(s) needed the execute bits set, so I did: cd /context/ruby (sudo) chmod -R a+x *.rb And of course an alias texmfstart=texmfstart.rb comes in handy. I hope this helps others who might be struggling to get texmfstart running. Hans van der Meer Something should be automated here I suppose. The MikTeX guy wasn't extremely responsive to it, tetex isn't maintained any more, perhaps at least you Mac guys could/should do something about it. Can someone write a note to the contextgarden about how to do configure the texmfstart properly? 2. What are some of the usual uses I should be employing of texmfstart? As a regular user you shouldn't note it's presence once you set it up properly. But generally you can use it to run stuff such as texmfstart mptopdf without having to worry whether mptopdf is a perl or ruby program, you can use it to edit config files, open documentation and so on, but the list is way to long (and I don't know it all/don't know how to use all its features) ... Most notable the modern modules which call external programs are written in such a way that they execute texmfstart name-of-the-script, for example texmfstart pstopdf some-ps-file instead of pstopdf some-ps-file. This means that the user doesn't need pstopdf to be present on the system as an executable command and means better portability. How will it improve performance? Just as George N. White said: performance in terms of how-many-seconds-per-run is not really the question, but I guess that it might improve performance since it might use more clever methods to execute things. I know that Hans has somehow rewritten the kapathsea and mpto, but I don't really know which scripts are responsible for calling them and for faster execution. However: you don't need to worry about performance. Hans does. If you care about performance in mp labels, you can improve it considerable by using texexec.rb (and texmfstart to start it) an by switching from btex ... etex to textext(...) and \sometxt (aproximately ten times faster on my examples and able to do some crazy things that have never been possible with btex ... etex or textext). But well ... the presence of texmfstart is essential in this case. How will it simplify my work? Etc? I.e what are the advantages? Portability. Support: sooner or later you'll figure out that the old texexec.pl doesn't do what it's supposed to do (mp labels being one of the problems for example). Hans is willing to work on improving the texexec.rb, but not on fixing the old stuff that will become obsolete one day anyway.

Now for questions:
1. How do I configure my system to use texmstart?
in the bin directory with texexec, rename texexec to texexec.orig, create the
2 or 3 scripts you want to use, do chmod +x runtexmf*, and decide
which names are perl (.pl) and which are ruby (.rb). Create symbolic
links: ln -s runtexmfrb texmfstart, etc. for the ruby scripts. You
can also do this for other perl scripts such as epstopdf, but be
careful, as the bin directory may contain newer versions than the
texmf trees.
2. What are some of the usual uses I should be employing of
texmfstart? How will it improve performance? How will it simplify my
work? Etc? I.e what are the advantages?
Performance for scripts like this is not much af an issue these days
-- if you want performance, buy better hardware. What is an issue is
the ability of the developers to find and fix bugs. Perl is old and
tricky. There are lots of old buggy perl versions installed.
Hopefully ruby will turn out to be more robust (lessons learned,
etc.).
The advantages to us are that you will use it and report bugs before we do.

Parially, space after = is fine, space before = is ignored silently.
changing that would break things (esp when a space is set this way, and
not using \space)
This is because with
\dosetvalue {one}{a}{ b}
\onea is defined,
while with
\dosetvalue {one}{a }{ b}
\onea is undefined.
Hans, can \dosetvalue be defined to ignore the space of #2, something
like
\unprotect
\def\dosetvalue#1#2#3%
{\dodosetvalue{#1}[#2]#3}
\def\dodosetvalue#1[#2#3]#4%
{\doifelse{#3}{\space}

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
With this
\dosetvalue {one}{a }{ b}
(\onea)
works, but this does not work for
\definestartstop
[abstract]
[before = {{\bf Abstract}}]
indeed; if supported, this would have to take place in the comma list
parser and the base assignment which would slow down things a lot
I do not know the implication in terms of speed. In case there is a
heavy penality, one can have a switch to ignore spaces in value
assignments.
hm, maybe some day (such changes would demand much testing) and will be easier
to do once we have lua enhanced tex (end of year)

mostly that it takes more work to collect both when piping (to a log file) and

Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart fails silently on incorrect input
Hi all.
Just a quick note regarding silentness in Context.
I have on two occasions had problems with silent errors:
1) When using the bib module and putting spaces between citation
variables and their value. For example, doing:
\startpublication[k = ArcticCorsairTrawling,
t = misc]
instead of
\startpublication[k=ArcticCorsairTrawling,
t=misc]
2) When trying to define an abstract command:
\definestartstop
[abstract]
[before={\midaligned{\bf Abstract} \startnarrower[2*middle]},
after={\stopnarrower \blank[big]}]
In this case the command was defined when I used ...before = ... but
did not alter the text in any way.
So after all this rambling I have two questions:
1) Is this silent mode intended?
2) Is whitespace not allowed before or after when defining with or using
the = sign?
Best regards/Kær kveðja,
