Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

Dear Otared: Thank you very much! The third solution works very well when I select the "ConTeXt-MKIV" program. I am still experimenting with the other two solutions, but at least I now have a method to get started learning ConTeXt. Best regards, Bruce > On Dec 16, 2015, at 11:48 AM,

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

Dear Otared: Thank you for your reply. I had indeed created the file "ConTeXt Suite.engine" in directory ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines, per the instructions on the Mac Installation web page. That web page recommended a tcsh shell version of your bash shell script. I suppose that either should

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

I see, thanks. I did use --engines=luatex. I was aware that Mark II had been superseded by Mark IV, but I hadn't realized that texexec was the same thing as Mark II. OK, so I won't worry about that issue any more. It seems that my only remaining problem is the aforementioned TeXShop issue.

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

Hi Bruce, You have three solutions in order to solve the TeXShop issue. Here they are: Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file: %!TEX TS-program = mkiv Note that in the above you should replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name known to your TeXShop installation

Thank you very much for your replies. I have now tried this, both with --context=beta, --context=current, and without a --context flag, and the result is always the same. The command $ sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current --modules=all --engine=luatex returns many errors before giving the

I have made good progress today, thanks to the help of this list. Thanks! I can now run the example on the First Document web page, running ConTeXt from the command line. That works perfectly. When I try to run the same file from within TeXShop,

Dear Mojca: It was being set in my .bashrc file. I have not used fink in years, so I am afraid I do not remember if fink put it there. In any case, I removed it and restarted the shell, and TEXMFCNF no longer appears in the output below: $ export | grep TEX declare -x

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

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
