[NTG-context] Running Mk-IV using TeXnicCenter
The information on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Configure_TeXnicCenter_for_ConTeXt ends up invoking MkII (i.e. texexec). Is there any information on the equivalent MkIV configuration? The commands given above are: (A) Path to the compiler... C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\texmfstart (B) Command line arguments... texexec.rb --bat --nonstop --pdf --interface=nl --color %bm I believe that the 'texmfstart' and obviously the 'texexec.rb' will have to change (at least). To what? There is no 'context.rb' on my system. Any help is appreciated.

[NTG-context] Broken ConTeXt

Apart from that - you are welcome to test if ConTeXt works fine on MikTeX (2.9).
It continues to work just fine on my TeXLive 2010 installation, but I
don't think it ever worked on MikTeX 2.8 (the version I have installed).
I'm quite puzzled why a fresh installation (twice now) gives exactly the
same result.
Tom.

Re: [NTG-context] Running Mk-IV using TeXLive 2010
On 10/5/2010 12:32 PM, David Rogers wrote: texexec gives MkII; context gives MkIV. I think this may need to be documented somewhere easier to find for those new to ConTeXt. I fell into this trap because either the Beginner's manual or some other specifically says to run TeXexec instead of ConTeXt -- since (it says) TeXexec will run automatically as many times as needed. The implication is that TeXexec is smarter than ConTeXt. I am brand new to ConTeXt and wanted to learn the new stuff and not spend any time with MkII, and I was surprised to see the difference between the two tools. [Update: the First Document tutorial suggests using TeXexec ... and that's probably where I first went wrong.] Tom. ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Try again with a clean TeXLive 2010 or install minimals. This is the second trap I fell into by following the instructions in the manuals: all that rsync stuff jazzed up my TeXLive 2010 installation and I had to reinstall. This bad advice is found on the Running Mark IV page on the wiki. Of course, I wanted to run MkIV and ended up spending another hour reinstalling TeXLive to get it back. On my desktop machine I have both TeXLive (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt minimals (for Windows) installed, my notebook has only TeXLive. I am no longer tempted to update any of these, even if I prefer to stay current. As a newbie, I wanted to try out the Concrete Roman font ... but abandoned that quest when it looked like I was going to have to tinker with the internals again. I am now staying firmly on the end user side of the ConTeXt fence.

[NTG-context] TeXexec MkII, ConTeXt MkIV
Hello, I have pretty recent installations of TeXLive 2010 (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt Minimals (for Windows). In both installations, running TeXexec reports it is ConTeXt MkII ... but running ConTeXt directly reports itself as MkIV. I would like to synchronize TeXexec and MkIV ... as MkIV ... how is this done -- for each installation?
