Such approach has a major disadvantage, one have to take care of not

I'm thinking in lua callback that get fed with text buffers in a similar
way to OTPs, so one can use regular expressions to pre-process the text
without messing with node list, think in code that replaces 2nd with
2\high{nd} etc. which would be very complex to be done at node list
level.


If it's not so complex, have you considered overloading font features with
fea files? Now that Adobe has (finally!) completed a major overhaul of the
spec, including the features neeeded for arabic, that's an option.

But for your more complex needs, see the m-translate module. Maybe that
can be developed further? Note that Hans has pointed out that this is NOT
a core module and that it is preferable to fix the source beforehand.

[NTG-context] new beta

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

this weeks beta ...

-- a couple of bug fixes, some are still pending

-- the context script can recognize files for mkii (first line 
directive) and listens to --pdftex and --xetex; it still calls texexec 
but this method can replace the texmfstart call (mtxrun is faster); it 
also permits integration in an editor (so that one command is used for 
all engines)


-- there is an --update option to the context command (which will 
install the latest version from the website); don't confuse this with a 
garden minimnal update (i will gradually move all ruby goodies to lua)


-- i'm currently working on the new structure macro so if there are 
problems, let me know;

 A solution like can be easy integrated in a ruby command because

 To make it show correctly is an good start, but if there are some
 tools to automatic add PinYin , it will be more attractive. In Chinese
 they do have the character which have multi pronunciation, but most of
 them only has single pronunciation, I can try to find out some dict to
 translate Chinese Character into PinYin if anyone can help integrate
 this convert tool into context.

 If you can provide such a list Hans can add the information to char-

Arthur list can be used for this but you still ned markup
to show which characters need reading and then you could
also use a ruby command.

like the translate module.


To make it show correctly is an good start, but if there are some
tools to automatic add PinYin , it will be more attractive. In Chinese
they do have the character which have multi pronunciation, but most of
them only has single pronunciation, I can try to find out some dict to
translate Chinese Character into PinYin if anyone can help integrate
this convert tool into context.


If you can provide such a list Hans can add the information to char- 
def.lua,
for the moment you have to rely on my \pinyin command, I have now  
written

a new version on a word macro I found.

i.e. you want transliterations on top?

is that \jing4 a convention or something specific for tex packages

Hi, Hans:

Thanks for the quick fix!

 Hi,

 - the problem with creating formats is related to changes in texexec (and
 other rb modules) that rely on ruby 1.8 and had to be adapted to 1.9;
 because incompatibilities in library calls are nicely catched (begin ..
 rescue ... end) we never see problems unless we explicitly issue an error
 message or warning which in most cases is more bound to the expected
 behaviour than to the method missing ... as such, i would not be surprised
 if more problems show up, but on the other hand, in the end only texexec
 remains as ruby script

 - the problem with hz/protruding was due to a typo in one of the lua scripts
 but even then, the posted example would now show the effects as one has to
 explicitly turn it on:

 \setupalign[hz,hanging]

 i'll upload a new beta

 I have had this due to lack of permissions happen to me on
 various  occasions also, but I've never been able to pinpoint the
 exact cause.

I use Hans's context/install/mswincontext.zip and upgrade context
using the first-setup.sh inside that file.
It works fine during the last few months. however, today the problem
appears. I didn't change anything. so strange.


 Best wishes,
 Taco

 Hi,

 - the problem with creating formats is related to changes in texexec (and
 other rb modules) that rely on ruby 1.8 and had to be adapted to 1.9;
 because incompatibilities in library calls are nicely catched (begin ..
 rescue ... end) we never see problems unless we explicitly issue an error
 message or warning which in most cases is more bound to the expected
 behaviour than to the method missing ... as such, i would not be surprised
 if more problems show up, but on the other hand, in the end only texexec
 remains as ruby script

 - the problem with hz/protruding was due to a typo in one of the lua scripts
 but even then, the posted example would now show the effects as one has to
 explicitly turn it on:

 \setupalign[hz,hanging]

 i'll upload a new beta

[NTG-context] ruby 1.9

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

Akira reported problems with context and ruby 1.9 and it looks like 
there are some upward incompatible changes in ruby (even syntax) so i 
need some time to figure that out. In the meantime ... just avoid using 
texexec with ruby 1.9

 i always expected that to be context doc.tex.  when i started using
 context, it was texexec doc.tex.

 as a user i don't mind what's in the background, perl, shell, ruby
 or a bone fide binary, all i'd like to do is have an official
 (as opposed to hand rolled/home made) context command that runs
 everything that is needed to process the .tex file.

That's texexec and it's official on any TeX distribution, the only
problem is that it doesn't work so well in older distributions. Any
recent distribution has a properly working texexec command.

But if you want to fiddle with home-made distribution, you need to be
ready for using home-made solutions. That's all.

There is also a more recent command context which uses luatex engine
in the background. But I would not recommend you to try to enable it
on the ancient distribution until you figure out all the other bits
and pieces. You need to configure way too many files ... and you
probably don't want to do every time when you reinstall the system if
you do that often. It's much easier to install the minimals.

 is there something like that? if not, will be? :]

Sure, there is - as explained above. It's just that nobody cares about
tetex any more and nobody will provide support for tetex. But if you
like it (for a reason - LaTeX hardly changes if you don't use XeTeX,
TikZ etc.) it's perfectly fine if you configure it to use the most
recent ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] startup script stubs (for unix)

[frantisek holop]

hello gang,

after almost a year of traveling i am back.
anybody missed me? :]  thought so.

i have made the openbsd installation of context
on top of texexec3 wiki page on the context wiki
because i frequently reinstall my notebook and start
from scratch with all my software.  i realize by now
texlive is the new thing but before i make context
minimal work on openbsd i still prefer to bring
up to date context  on the much less bloated base
of tetex3.

my biggest gripe at the moment always at the end
the ruby scripts...

but this is something that could be easily changed.
i personally find the following instructions the
most helpful:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation#Ruby_scripts

at the moment, the directory
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/stubs/unix/
contains a bunch of scripts that are nice but unusable because

1. they dont have the x bit set

2. most of them contain something like

texmfstart somescript $@

while texmfstart itself is not defined anywhere

it would be really nice if these stubs could be just dropped
as replacements for any current scripts and work out of the box.

i am not sure my proposed solution is a good one, because
frankly, except texexec i have never used any of the other
scripts..  but looking at the afore-quoted wikipage it seems
to me that the author favoured the approach of calling all
the other sripts using texexec.  the beauty of this is
that no other scripts need to be installed.

so what do you people think about the following approach:

stub for texmfstart to be put under /usr/local/bin/texmfstart:
#!/bin/sh

ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` $@

stub for texexe to be put under /usr/local/bin/texexec:
#!/bin/sh

SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`

if [ X$SCRIPTNAME = Xtexexec ]; then
exec texmfstart texexec.rb $@
else
exec texmfstart $SCRIPTNAME $@
fi

and all the other script stubs could be removed i guess...

Hello Frantisek,

Just a quick note ... not too many people on the list might be able to
follow since there are probably not too many tetex3 users around, and
the page you refer to is old as earth, so keep using whatever fits you
best. Did you want to suggest changes on the webpage or did you want
to ask if some procedure works?

(I fully understand why you want to keep using tetex.)

That folder is not meant to be a replacement for binaries. It's just a
folder where files can be taken from and put somewhere else
afterwards. They don't have the x bit set because zip on windows
doesn't handle permission bits.

Concerning texmfstart: it's now part of texlive and it's part of
minimals. You cannot expect recent binaries to be already part of an
ancient tex distribution. Hans probably won't add texmfstart to that
folder since distribution is supposed to take care of that.

If you need a simple command to fetch all in one run, just do (single
line in case it gets broken):
   rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/context/linux/bin/
/usr/local/bin/

 it would be really nice if these stubs could be just dropped
 as replacements for any current scripts and work out of the box.

Is there any other problem apart from the executable bit (that Hans is
not able to fix comfortably)?

 i am not sure my proposed solution is a good one, because
 frankly, except texexec i have never used any of the other
 scripts..  but looking at the afore-quoted wikipage it seems
 to me that the author favoured the approach of calling all
 the other sripts using texexec.

You mean texmfstart?

  the beauty of this is
 that no other scripts need to be installed.

 so what do you people think about the following approach:

 stub for texmfstart to be put under /usr/local/bin/texmfstart:
 #!/bin/sh

 ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` $@

At the moment this file is a literal copy of texmfstart.rb. It's like
a chicken-and-egg problem. Hans wants to get rid of kpathsea, but by
copying the file one doesn't always get the latest texmfstart (one
needs to make sure that it's always up-to-date). The ruby `kpsewhich
... approach is also OK.

 stub for texexe to be put under /usr/local/bin/texexec:
 #!/bin/sh

 SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`

 if [ X$SCRIPTNAME = Xtexexec ]; then
exec texmfstart texexec.rb $@
 else
exec texmfstart $SCRIPTNAME $@
 fi

 and all the other script stubs could be removed i guess...

You don't need to copy other files/stubs if you don't need them, but
some people depend on existence of some tools like ctxtools (which is
easier to use than texmfstart ctxtools). If you don't need other
scripts, just ignore them.

(The scripts described on tetex installation page are probably not
used my many people. But those pages need to be fixed and unified
somehow.)

[NTG-context] context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11

[Michael Krauß]

Hello list members and ConTeXt gods,

this question is more technical than TeXnical but none the less ConTeXt 
releated. Today I am investigating if I can replace linux with OpenSolaris, so 
I am testing every, even exotic, software that I use on my linux box on 
OpenSolaris.

Looking into first-setup.sh there seem to be support for Solaris on Intel 
hardware called sunos-intel. But if I try to install ConTeXt it doesn't work:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context$ ./first-setup.sh 
/usr/bin/rsync

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1385) 
[receiver=2.6.9]
./first-setup.sh: line 68: mtxrun: not found


Next I tried to build the binaries myself by checking out the sources from 
Subversion:

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries


And running ./build-binaries.sh afterwards. But this doesn't work either:

There are three executables named ctangle in the minimals directory:

./src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
./src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
./src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/ctangle


How should I proceed from here? What is the status of Solaris support for 
context minimals?


Kind regards,

Well, Hans wanted to try it out, but gave up too soon because of some
compilation problems. I didn't remove the few lines that I added, but
there are no binaries available either. If you are willing to compile
them (or rather keep compiling them every now to keep dependencies
satisfied), we can finish adding support for open solaris.

If I'm not mistaken then pdftex, xetex and luatex have been compiled
without problems?
The process would probably not run out of the box before a new svn
repository gets created and you would need an account in order to be
able to commit anyway, but you can check if files like:
- src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/pdftex
- src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/xetex
- src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/luatex
exist.

 There are three executables named ctangle in the minimals directory:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context/build-binaries$ find . -name ctangle
 ./src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
 ./src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
 ./src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/ctangle

Taco has been modifying the make scripts some time ago. I would ask
him. I did have some problems to build binaries on contextgarden, but
I thought that these problems have been solved. In general adding any
ctangle to build path should help (at the time when you build metapost
it doesn't see the ctangle binary of pdftex/xetex/luatex), but maybe
there was a tiny overlook somewhere. Taco has ctangle all over on his
machine, so he would not notice if that was a problem.

 How should I proceed from here? What is the status of Solaris support for 
 context minimals?

None exists, but we can add it if one (you?) promisses to run the
building script every now and then.

mtxrun gives command not found... So I added context/bin to the PATH.

Then I ran mtxrun again and got

Later I found
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#First_Installation which

become a new minimal ConTeXt distribution which doesn't suggest that
you need to visit the link to supplement the installation instructions

After adding the above source line, the four commands you asked me to
try run without obvious errors.

No base/core-swd.tex file appears.

Is there something specific I should look for to tell whether the above
commands solved my problem? Should I run first-setup.sh again?

I write how I setup my minimals-beta on a linux box  ubuntu 8.04

1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals-beta
2) cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta
2a) Now put here first-setup.sh (see contextgarden.net/minimals)
3)  ./first-setup.sh
4) cd tex
**IMPORTANT**
5) . setuptex
=
6) context --generate
7) context --make
8)Every time I start a mkiv session
as first step I do
cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex
. setuptext
to ensure correct initilization of env. variables.
9a)context --generate
9b)context --make
to unsure a clean session.
10) always use context to make pdf; ie compile yours files with
context basic-test.tex

If you open first-setup.sh and change this line near the end
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force
--engine=all --context=beta --tree=$PWD/tex $@
in
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force
--engine=all  --tree=$PWD/tex $@
and then
1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals
2)...
and so on
you can then end with a minimals installation (actually minimalsBIRTHDAY)

Actually I have
minimals-beta, minimals and  tl2008 completly unrelated
so each installations has is own fonts etc etc.
It's ok, because minimals and minimals-beta are not so huge and I

I ran first-setup.sh again, because that was where I first encountered
the error I can't find file `core-swd'.
It gave the same error again, even after running the four commands you

I don't know the setup well enough to know whether this means that the
problem was not solved, or whether it means that the problem was solved
by the four commands but was unsolved by first-setup.sh.

Googling core-swd context gives results that indicate there used to be
a core-swd.tex file there. I could use the google cached copy, although
I suppose there was some reason why it was removed?

Can anyone confirm that using the cached core-swd.tex indeed solved the

Maybe core-swd.tex was rightfully removed, and the correct fix would be

core-swd.tex is removed in the last beta and the old file was saved

Generate the formats with texexec --make --all and it should work.

My interpretation is, that underway the path to the lua scripts is  
'forgotten'

Re: [NTG-context] TeXshop

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Willi,

Yes I did install mkiv through the ConTeXt Minimals (thanks to Luigi  
Scarso) and I invoke that installation in TeXShop: everything works  
fine.
However I have not added any environment variables as you have done in  
your .bashrc. saying
env | grep TEX
in a Terminal window returns for me:
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
which has nothing to do with any TeX related variable.
I think in order to use mkiv with the minimals you have to unset all  
the environment variables you have in your .bashrc.

Right now I have to run to take an exam with my students… as soon as I  
have time I'll send you the whole procedure.

Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] TeXshop

[Hans van der Meer]

In order to run luatex in my TeXShop (MacOSX10.5.5) I did put the  
following code into ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/LuaTeX.engine
#!/bin/bash
export TEXLIVE=/usr/local/texlive
export TEXHOME=$TEXLIVE/2008
export TEXBIN=$TEXHOME/bin/universal-darwin
export TEXCONTEXT=$TEXLIVE/texmf-local
export OSFONTDIR=~/Library/Fonts;/Library/Fonts;/System/Library/Fonts
export TEXPRIVATE=/Users/hans/Library/texmf
export TEXMFCACHE=/Users/hans/Library/Caches
export TEXMF={$TEXPRIVATE,$TEXLIVE/texmf-local,$TEXHOME/texmf, 
$TEXHOME/texmf-config,$TEXHOME/texmf-dist,$TEXHOME/texmf-var}
$TEXBIN/mtxrun --script context $1

Also having set in $TEXBIN a softlink (ln -s) to mtxrun.lua in the  
context distribution, here put into texmf-local. Maybe there are one  
or two variables superfluous here, but it least it works.
And to have luatex in TeXworks I call as a program the above engine  
script (courtesy Taco Hoekwater)

 Hi Willi,

 However I have not added any environment variables as you have done in

   env | grep TEX
 in a Terminal window returns for me:
   __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
 which has nothing to do with any TeX related variable.
 I think in order to use mkiv with the minimals you have to unset all
 the environment variables you have in your .bashrc.

 Right now I have to run to take an exam with my students… as soon as I
 have time I'll send you the whole procedure.

It's easy to write a simple ruby/perl(or even lua) script that will do
such changes for you *before* typesetting articles. That's probably
much better, since you also want to have clean sources at some point.

Of course, writing the list of substitutions still needs to be done by
you, but that's in either case.

If you need that, write kind-of-specification how you would like to

Yes, but the above is just one kind of example. Indeed, what I am thinking  
of is just an extension of the kind of configurability texies like to do.  
For your average user -- or a secretary -- we don't want to have to point  
them to lua or ruby etc...

 Of course, writing the list of substitutions still needs to be done by
 you, but that's in either case.

 If you need that, write kind-of-specification how you would like to
 use such a command.

Maybe I misunderstand... I could see something like I mentioned in the  
original mail

\definesubstitution{string1}{string2}

or even a database approach:

\definesubstitutions[
string1,string1'|
string2,string2'|
string3,string3'
]

Here is another example. I generally prefer an en-dash padded with spaces  
-- and with a no-break space after -- to an em-dash for parenthetical  
constructions. So I would like to do, eg

\definesubstitution{emdash}{ endash~}

Again, this saves time in extensive editing, and I can stay in TeX without  
fiddling so much with scripting, CTRL-F/H/R etc. It maintains control in  
case I change my mind and want to revert etc. For long documents and  
projects this gets unwieldy pretty fast and I end up with lots of typos  
etc.

I guess we could get really funky and add a regular expressions engine  
using lua:

\definesubstitution[regex]{string1}{string2}

And I'm sure Hans, Taco, and other programmers can think of other nifty  
macros...

But the basic functionality would suffice for now :-)

Best wishes
Idris

 Please type another input file name:


I checked the directory. The file should be named to

Can you show me how to figure out such a problem? Thanks.

 I checked the directory. The file should be named to

The filenaming is correct. t-vim writes a file called 
\jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp and then 2context.vim writes a file with 
filename-vimsyntax.tmp, so in effect t-vim is looking for a file called

\jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp.

This slightly confusing naming scheme is so that --purge does remove all 
the temporary files.

 Can you show me how to figure out such a problem? Thanks.

Yes, it is. I am using the latest minimal and t-vim is installed in
texmf-local.

  untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp instead of
 untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp.

I do not know exactly the inside mechanism. When the message asked me about

think that the file name should be \jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp.

I am using Archlinux on a Thinkpad T43. The vi program works fine.

  Please type another input file name:

 I thought that I had corrected this. Are you using a recent mtxrun? Type
 in mtxrun --help. Does the third line say

 MtxRun | --execute run a script or program (--noquotes)


 Yes, it is. I am using the latest minimal and t-vim is installed in
 texmf-local.



  I checked the directory. The file should be named to
  untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp instead of
 untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp.

 The filenaming is correct. t-vim writes a file called
 \jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp and then 2context.vim writes a file with
 filename-vimsyntax.tmp, so in effect t-vim is looking for a file called

 \jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp.

 This slightly confusing naming scheme is so that --purge does remove all
 the temporary files.

 I do not know exactly the inside mechanism. When the message asked me
 about the file name, I input \jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp and it works. So
 I think that the file name should be \jobname-\number-vimsyntax.tmp.


  Can you show me how to figure out such a problem? Thanks.

 Which OS are you using?

 I am using Archlinux on a Thinkpad T43. The vi program works fine.

You could try to unzip cont-tmf.zip in a separate root without spaces.
E.g. 

C:\contextfiles\...

Then add C:\contextfiles as a new root.

OK. Removed quotes, so texmfstart.bat now reads:

[NTG-context] Miktex

[David Arnold]

Mojca,

I saw your note on blog.miktex.org:

If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed,  
you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 
\miktex\bin with the content:


@echo off
ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb  
%*


and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: 
\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and  
generate formats, and everything should work again.


Mojca

I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- 
tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck.


At the dos prompt:

$ texmfstart --help

Worked just fine. However,

$ texmfstart texexec --help

Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do:

$ texmfstart texexec --make --all

Or some such thing.

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex

[David Arnold]

Mojca,

I a hopeless mac user at home now. I used to be pretty good with  
miktex, even working with hans to test the settings that now exist in  
the texexec.rme file, back in the days when we made that an .ini file  
in Miktex. But no longer.

It's our school machines I am trying to configure, PC's with Windows  
XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the  
Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected  
that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I  
tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ 
something or other and updating the filename database to no avail.

I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can  
think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different  
machines, 

Thanks so much.

David.

 Miktex version of Context is broken. I also read Mojca's workaround,

 Second question: Can I get mptopdf to work in the Miktex tree without
 installing Context?
 
 Mojca's workaround:
 
 May 31. 2008 00:37
 
 
 If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed,
 you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
 2.7\miktex\bin with the content:
 
 
 @echo off
 ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb %*
 
 
 and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
 http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C:\Program
 Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and generate formats,
 and everything should work again.

Hi David,

I had the same problem and now totaly switched from miktex to texlive.
Texlive has context in a new version in it and up to date a online
installer so that you only need about 2 MB for the first download and
the rest will come by launching the installer.
My advice would be to switch away from miktex to texlive it now has the
same onlineupdatefunktion as miktex.

Greetings
Martin

Re: [NTG-context] problem finding files (cygwin-related?)

 Hi all,

 I try to help a colleague who has successfully installed ConTeXt using
 the Windows installer and has started typesetting some documents. His
 installation has problems finding files. Using something like \input
 ./path/to/file.tex works OK, but this doesn't:
 \externalfigure[./path/to/file.pdf] He gets a figure ./path/to/file.pdf
 can not be found-error, while the same code works OK with my local
 Windows in a VMware virtual machine. He happens to have cygwin installed
 (I don't have it) and I was wondering whether that is the course of his
 problems? How does cygwin interfere with finding the /path/to/the
 picture file? Can I solve this by escaping the path in some special way?
 Or would moving the picture to the current directory help?

Is he trying to compile the file on cygwin or on cmd.exe? Was ruby 
installed for windows or for cygwin? Was another tex package installed on 
cygwin which may be interfering with context binaries (cygwin resets the 
paths when it is started).

No.

We'll try to remove the path to the cygwin commands and install

I had a hard time getting texexec to work with cygwin ruby? Although I 
do not think that finding images is related to ruby. Try installing 
windows ruby and run everything from cmd.exe. (And check the paths 
carefully). This way you eliminate cygwin from the picture (It is 
installed by not in the path). If the problem persists, then others on 
windows should be able to reproduce it.

[NTG-context] installation of ConTeXt

Hi,

Do I really have to install ruby?  I downloaded it, but can't find
anything like install, setup or something like this.  Even the
readme is not very helpful at all.  And another question: for
using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin?

no, try to avoid cygwin

just download ruby (mswin version), unzip/install it in say c:\ruby and 
then add c:\ruby\bin to your windows path

Re: [NTG-context] The windows minimal exe installer

for example, which distribution to choose (MKIV or XeTeX or pdfTeX),
which fonts to be download (TeXGyre, Kurier, Iwona...) according to
the distribution (in MKIV and XeTeX, download otf, otherwise download
type1 format).
and if the user download MKII version, we should automatically check

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

[David Arnold]

I followed these directions exactly and scite is working out of the  
box on mswincontext.zip.

To remove RubyGems from a single Ruby installation, from the
site_ruby/1.8 directory of that installation, remove:

* rubygems.rb (file)
* rubygems (directory)

If you do not have RubyGems installed in other Ruby installation
directories, you can also remove the following files from whatever
command directory is listed in your PATH:

* gem
* gemwhich
* gem_server
* gem_mirror
* generate_yaml_index.rb

And if you are removing RubyGems completely, don't forget to remove the
RUBYOPT environment variable from your environment.

Without actually trying it, I think that will do it.


D.


I also added import metapost in scite, but not all of the menu items  
on the tool menu work, in fact most of them don't work. Ctrl+6  
doesn't open the console, I can't get gsview to work instead of gv, etc.

Where did you get the first-setup.bat from? I assume that it

It's not needed, but we need to fix some things in first-setup.bat
(and rename it).

 Strange, as the distribution size was already huge. It would really help to 
 have a readme.txt in this distribution with installation directions.

 After first-setup was complete, I ran cscite.bat. Scite opened. Good! I 
 entered the usual test file:

 \starttext
 Hello, World!
 \stoptext

 And saved as test.tex.

 Then I tried Tools-Compile, which resulted in this error mesage:

Apparetly a problem with ruby. Try to follow Idris' advice.

[NTG-context] mswintex.zip versus mswincontext.zip

[David Arnold]

Hans et al,

For our students, I need to have Miktex and at least one of these  
distributions (mswintex.zip or mswincontext.zip) coexisting side by  
side.

I've got Miktex installed and working with the Texniccener IDE for  
student use.

Now, I need to get context and metapost working properly (no longer  
any mptopdf in the Miktex distro). Students don't deal well with DOS  
boxes and terminals at first (they can grow into them), so what I  
need is a scite icon on the desktop, that when clicked, will open and  
work (for context and metapost).

I had already loaded mswintex.zip on each machine in our lab, run  
first-setup.bat. I also installed Scite by downloading from the  
scintilla site. I finally figured out that you need to import context  
in the Globals, though (the http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ 
mscite-p.pdf said it should work in user as well, which I could not  
get to work.

So, as I understand it now, the difference is the mswincontext.zip  
comes with perl and ruby, but we already have perl and ruby  
installed. If I get rid of the gems (how?) then I should be able to  
make progress?

What I need is students to have both scite and texniccenter running  
at the same time. What are my best options?

Thanks.

 From memory:

1. Uninstall Ruby completely;

2. Reinstall and choose custom install if that is available;

3. Uncheck the RubyGems option;

That's it!

setuptex.bat and the scripts that depend on it (like cscite.bat and my  
npp.bat) should work now.

[NTG-context] Some Progress on Installing mswincontext.zip

[David Arnold]

All,

As Idris and Hans expected, Ruby was the culprit. I had installed  
Ruby before downloading mswincontext.zip, as that was what I used to  
do in the old days with a Miktex installation.


After following exactly these directions:  http:// 
blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/173018


Scite now works on context documents.

I tried to add metapost.properties to the global with import  
metapost. I can Build a file, but the Go command does not work  
because I don't have gv installed. So I opened metapost.properties  
and tried changing the gv command to gsview32 (and even tried c: 
\Program Files\ghostgum\gsview\gsview32.exe), but neither worked.


Any suggestions how I can get the go command to work?

Secondly, what would I do to compile a metapost file in scite  
directly into PDF? I am aware of context way with processMPbuffer and  
other assorted tricks, and I am aware of mptopdf, but what I am  
looking for is to configure Scite to compile the metapost file and  
open it in acrobat reader.


Here is the test file I am trying to compile.

beginfig(1);

numeric u; 10u=4in;
drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0);
drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u);

endfig;

end.

  From memory:

 1. Uninstall Ruby completely;

 2. Reinstall and choose custom install if that is available;

 3. Uncheck the RubyGems option;

 That's it!

 setuptex.bat and the scripts that depend on it (like cscite.bat and my
 npp.bat) should work now.

[NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

[dwarnold45]

All,

A bit frustrated as I cannot seem to get a mswincontext scite combination 
going. I gave up on: http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswintex.zip. I got 
absolutely nowhere with the installation and trying to connect scite.

So, I just downloaded:  http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswincontext.zip

After extracting to c:\context, I ran the file first-setup.bat, which proceeded 
to install a lot of files. Was this a correct thing to do? Strange, as the 
distribution size was already huge. It would really help to have a readme.txt 
in this distribution with installation directions.

After first-setup was complete, I ran cscite.bat. Scite opened. Good! I entered 
the usual test file:

\starttext
Hello, World!
\stoptext

And saved as test.tex.

Then I tried Tools-Compile, which resulted in this error mesage:

texmfstart concheck test.tex
ruby: no such file to load--ubygems (LoadError)

Any suggestions?

D.

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

[David Arnold]

Idris,

Thanks. I'm a Mac person at home now, so I'll have to wait until  
tomorrow to give this a try on a windows machine at school. What I'll  
try (unless I get further advice from this list) is download  
mswincontext.zip again, uninstall it, and NOT run first-setup.bat.

Regarding Ruby, I am looking at this page: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ 
en/downloads/, where it seems like I have two options:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ruby186-26.exe

And:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-i386- 
mswin32.zip

Not sure I see anything on this page about without RubyGems. Any  
advice?

D.

Re: [NTG-context] SciTE in ConTeXt setup

[Alan Stone]

Hi Idris,

I open a terminal window and type

scite

as follows (incl. terminal window output messages):

Setting /opt/context/tex as TEXROOT.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/context/tex$ scite

then SciTE launches but not in the way I expected.

did you use the cscite script to launch scite or the setuptex script?

Uh ? What are these scripts ?

Best,
Alan

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex still broken

[Peter Wüsten]

 The context in Miktex is still broken. Has anyone got experience  
 installing the standalone version of context on windows alongside  
 Miktex?

As I have quite some legacy LaTeX-files I have Miktex 2.7, standalone 
Context, and a Context minimals installation on my system. They co-exist 
nicely on my system: Rather than pointing my path environment variable 
to any of those installations permanently I use batch-files to 
initialize whatever system I'd like to work with.

These are the batch files I use; your paths will vary:
- for running Miktex:

REM setupmiktex.bat
@echo off
set PATH=C:\Programme\MiKTeX\2.7\miktex\bin;%PATH%
C:\Programme\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe


- for running the ConTeXt maximals (aka ConTeXt standalone):

REM cstart.bat
@echo off
usr\local\context\cscite.bat usr\local\context


- for running the minimals:

REM setupminimals.bat
@ECHO OFF
E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex\setuptex.bat 
E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex


you'll also have to add a line at the bottom of setuptex.bat, under :done
call c:\ruby\scite\scite.exe
or whatever editor you use.

 And one specific question, will the mptopdf command work in this dual  
 installation?

I think so; at least running mptopdf -v from a console window invoked 
from the editor made mptopdf tell me there was no file called '-v' to 
process ;-)

Cheers, Peter

[NTG-context] SciTE in ConTeXt setup

[Alan Stone]

Hi,

I've switched from Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) running from
within Windows XP + VirtualBox to a stand-alone Ubuntu installation.

Installed

- ConTeXt minimals in /opt/context

- SciTE through the Synaptic Package Manager, and followed the SciTE in
ConTeXt manual instructions :

* Re. §2: Installing SciTE

Copied

- /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/context/data/*.properties files

and

- /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua

to /usr/share/scite

Then

- included the line 'import context.properties' at the end of
/home/(username)/.SciTEUser.properties

* Re: §3: The TeX lexer

Put context.properties in the same path as SciTEUser.properties
- and to add import context.properties ( instead of  import context - see pg
4 ): done already in the previous step

FYI, doing so, context.properties is then in /usr/share/scite *and*
/home/(username) !?

Launching SciTE from a terminal window...

Setting /opt/context/tex as TEXROOT.
(username)@home:/opt/context/tex$ scite

launches SciTE however syntax highlighting doesn't work

Setting /opt/context/tex as TEXROOT.

i wonder if c:\ruby\bin is the problem;

can you run ruby texmfstart,rb ?

(this while script becoming a exe is quite painful and fragile, which is 
why i always run things by stub)

also, if you use luatex ... you can adapt the scite properties files 
(user ones) to use 'context' instead of 'texexec'

 from ancient versions of miktex and fptex -- sometimes the miktex binary  
would work but not the fptex binary and vice versa -)

 C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local\scripts\context\stubs\mswin;C:\ruby\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;

 i wonder if c:\ruby\bin is the problem;

 can you run ruby texmfstart,rb ?

ruby: No such file or directory -- texmfstart.rb (LoadError)

 (this while script becoming a exe is quite painful and fragile, which is  
 why i always run things by stub)

there is no texmfstart.bat in \scripts\context\stubs\mswin

Is there another way?

 also, if you use luatex ... you can adapt the scite properties files  
 (user ones) to use 'context' instead of 'texexec'

luatex/context.cmd is working, it's just that I want to be able to compile  
the pdftex format for testing, legacy files, etc. Otherwise I am gradually  
moving everything over to luatex.

For the record, going back to my backup context works. texmfstart.exe and  
the scripts seem the same. The only difference I can see is going from  
texmf-local to -context. I wonder what's triggering this.

Best wishes
Idris

Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart texexec

Hi Mojca,

 But for

 texmfstart --locate texexec.rb

 gives me

 /texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb

 Any ideas on what's wrong?

 I would say it's a broken ruby installation, or some other file is
 broken, but I cannot find anything in ConTeXt, maybe in standalone
 ConTeXt environment ...

I tried moving all setuptex.bat variables to the global XP environment  
variables. Then I could make a pdftex format without cscite.bat. But I  
could not run any pdftex files because texexec keeps looking for the  
format in -local/web2c/pdftex instead of -mswin\web2c\pdftex.

I've removed those global variables and again trying to get  
setuptex/cscite.bat/pdftex working.

 Can you try to find a string ubygems in some .rb file? It should be
 rubygems at most, but I have no idea where this is comming from.

That is weird indeed.

Thnx and

Best wishes
Idris

Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart texexec

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد]

Hi Hans, Mojca, and all,

I uninstalled ruby and reinstalled: no joy.

Then I uninstalled ruby and reinstalled without installing RubyGems.

Believe it or not that worked! I can compile the format and run mkii now.

This still leaves open the question as to how RubyGems and cscite.bat  
(which is the source of npp.bat for notepad++) are interfering with each  
other in the new minimals/maximal (what is ubygems without the r  
anyway?). Might be worth investigating at some point...

Thnx and Best wishes
Idris

it's because those gems packages overload some library location 
mechanisms (they kind of dictate a structure and ignore the fact that 
one might want to ship script with libs in a different way); texexec cus 
coul dnot operate in such an environment without installers which would 
add another level of complexity

the same is true for lua and luarocks which also can sit in the way; 
however, this does not hurt luatex because we have an isolated 
environment here

 Dear gang,

 I am upgrading my system to the latest mswincontext distro.

 After some hiccups, context.cmd finds its target script, so I can

 But for

 I keep getting

 ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

 hm, some rubygems interaction; i really dislike these 'package managers
 overloading the module loaders'

 texmfstart --locate texexec.rb

 gives me

 /texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb

 Any ideas on what's wrong?

 some messy ruby in your path

 you can make a small bat file that starts texmfstart

 @echo off
 setlocal
 ruby c:\pathtoscript\texmfstart.rb %*
 endlocal

 might work

 or (what i have here) just add scripts/context/ruby to your PATH
 variable and associate .rb with ruby

Still no luck. Here is some info:

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

\texmf-context\scripts\context\rubytexmfstart texexec
ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

I ran the above in the directory with the scripts.

Is there a setup or ini file where I need to change the path?

I compared my old setuptex.bat with the new one. No real clues yet.

\texmf-context\scripts\context\ruby is in the PATH, rebooted

Any ideas? What has changed since the last mswincontext, other that the  
switch from -local/ to -context/?

Best wishes
Idris

Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart texexec

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد]

Hi Hans,

I think I found a clue:

If I start a command shell (no scite or npp or other editor) and do

setuptex c:\context\tex
texmfstart texexec

I get

TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

TeXExec | --checkcheck versions
TeXExec | --figures  generate overview of figures
TeXExec | --listing  list of file content

TeXExec | --modules  generate module documentation
TeXExec | --mpgraphicprocess mp file to stand-alone graphics
TeXExec | --mpstatic process mp/ctx file to stand-alone graphics
TeXExec | --mptexprocess mp file
TeXExec | --mpxtex   process mpx file
TeXExec | --pdfarrange   impose pages (booklets)
TeXExec | --pdfcombine   combine multiple pages
TeXExec | --pdfcopy  copy pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --pdfselectselect pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --pdfsplit split file in pages
TeXExec | --pdftrim  trim pages from file(s)
TeXExec | --process  process file
TeXExec |
TeXExec | --help --all   shows all switches

If I click on

cscite.bat

scite opens. Then I do CTRL-6 for a window. then I do

texmfstart texexec

getting

ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

Even

setuptex c:\context\tex
texmfstart texexec

in scite gives me

ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

Could there be something screwy in cscite.bat? Or setuptex.bat?

Best wishes
Idris
