[NTG-context] ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 5.0.3
Hi, Re: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Notepad%2B%2B It mentions you can also use it under wine. Regarding the ConTeXt support package for Npp, any idea where to copy the Application Data\Notepad++ directory to ? You can copy the Program Files\Notapad++ directory to wine's Program Files and copy the contents of the ConTeXt directory to the ConTeXt tree. However, under wine there's no Application data directory.

Hi Idris, Thanks a lot. One question though... I installed Npp, downloaded the context support package for Npp and extracted the zip file. What/where are the setup instructions please ? Best, Alan On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:33 PM, Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear gang, I have uploaded the latest version of the ConTeXt support package for Notepad++. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip It has been updated to 5.0.3, the latest stable version. The main difference in the package is the new autocompletion file format. See context.xml. I have also included the Explorer plugin and the latest NppExec plugin (2.4) -- the NppExec that comes with 5.0.3 is just slightly out of date (2.4 RC1). Npp now supports calltips. I was thinking of adding them to context.xml but it would be very time-consuming. Basically, when typing a context command you would get a little window giving you some info about that command if you want it. I may make some suggestions to the Npp team to make this feature more useful. Anyway, Npp keeps getting better and better. It recently won the SourceForge's Community Choice Awards for Best Tool or Utility for Developers: http://ostatic.com/169634-blog/sourceforges-community-choice-awards-winners-named There are just a few more things Npp could use to make this a near-perfect ConTeXt editor, I'll bug the developers soon... Npp can now use external lexers. Eventually I would like to translate the ConTeXt syntax setup to a lexer so we can add a bit more flexibility. Lexer development is way beyond my skills at the moment but if anyone is interested in contributing to this I'd be happy for the help. F7 will repeat the last script executed by F6. So it behaves differently than F7 in Hans' Scite setup (Build). I use NppExec instead of Run anyway. In the next version, I may deprecate the Run menu commands and attach the shortcuts to the NppExec scripts; I think there is even a way to then may a menu of these NppExec shortcuts. This will allow for easier tweaking and experimenting by users, and also updating when Hans changes things ;-) The startstop module is still included, though Hans has just added support for footnote etc environments so that part of the module can be commented out.

What/where are the setup instructions please ? Best, Alan Seems like Idris forgot to include the readme, incase it hasn't been attached check out the 1 November 2007 rev from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip your sure to find it there. Put everything in ConTeXt.zip in the same folder you extracted mswincontext.zip (182 mb) then run NPP.bat. Make sure you adjust acrobat.lnk appriopriately as the path is hard-coded. And what OS are you using? MohamedInstructions for Setting up ConTeXt with Notepad++ November 1 2007 ConTeXt Support Package for Notepad++. This package is for Notepad 4.5, released October 25 2007. The file config.xml in particular may not work with other versions, especially if you start it with the batch file. If you already have Npp, please update to 4.5. Lots of small improvements. One nice feature is that from any text selection (such as a control sequence) you may do a ConTeXt Wiki search from the RUN menu or ALT-F3. In addition there is Google and Wikipedia search. Also, I have included the wonderful Explorer plugin. This package is offered as is, with no promise of support. Instructions: 1. From the installer, you MAY not want to use the default destination folder, 'Notepad++'. texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in them. So you could change it to, eg, 'Notepadpp'. So if you plan on linking the ConTeXt utilities with the notepad installation directory somehow then you may want to change its name. However, in the following I assume that the directory name remains 'Notepad++' 2. You may also want to check the installation option, Don't use %APPDATA%. Then all your configuration settings will be save in the installation directory. This is because, even if you rename the installation directory, the name of the local user application directory will still be 'Notepad++'. However, in what follows I assume that all configuration files are saved in \username\Application Data\Notepad++. 3. You may want to install a few plugins. The installer will give you a list of plugins you can select. Go to the following links for details: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/plugins-HOWTO.php The Explorer and NppExec plugins are among my favorites, and I have configured them for ConTeXt. In the following I assume that you have also installed the Explorer and NppExec plugins. The Explorer plugin is not included in the installer so I have included it in this package. 4. Notepad++ should already be in your path. If not, add C:\Program Files\Notepad++ to your system path in System Properties Advanced Environment Variables System Variables PATH. 5. In System Properties add make LNK files executable. Go to System Properties Advanced Environment Variables System Variables PATHEXT. Click on Edit and add .LNK; 6. Now log out and log back in (to activate the environment variables). 7. Make sure Notepad++ is closed. 8. There are three zips within the package: Application Data.zip ConTeXt.zip Program Files.zip 9. Copy the directory Program Files\Notepad++ to Program Files. 10. Copy the directory Application Data\Notepad++ to Application Data. 11. Copy the contents of the directory ConTeXt to your ConTeXt tree. 12. For processing ConTeXt files, always use the batch file npp.bat to open Notepad++. npp.bat is based on cscite.bat. You can change the icon for the batch file by going to the file properties of npp.bat, Change Icon, and point it to Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe. I put a shortcut to npp.exe in the taskbar for easy access. 13. A note: In Preferences, always leave the option Remember the last operation directory unchecked. 14. Edit batch files in the ConTeXt directory to suit your needs. Please forward any major improvements! Have fun! === Message to ConTeXt mailing list, 12 Aug 2007: == Some background: I come from the WinEdt world originally. However WinEdt, while a fantastic TeX editor (perhaps the best), has a couple of problems: a) Geared towards LaTeX; b) No utf-8 support present or immediately planned (at least when I was using it); c) No Right-to-left support present or immediately planned (at least when I was using it); a) is not really a problem; one could easily configure WinEdt to be ConTeXt editor, but b) and c) were showstoppers. Scite is nice, but seems to me to be a real regression when compared to WinEdt's features. Finally I came across Notepad++, hereafter called Npp (actually it was Hans who told me about it first). This is one amazing text editor. Like Scite, it is based on Scintilla. It is a programmer's editor, but for a non-programmer user like myself it is amazingly easy to configure. Like

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 5.0.3
Dear gang, I have uploaded the latest version of the ConTeXt support package for Notepad++. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip It has been updated to 5.0.3, the latest stable version. The main difference in the package is the new autocompletion file format. See context.xml. I have also included the Explorer plugin and the latest NppExec plugin (2.4) -- the NppExec that comes with 5.0.3 is just slightly out of date (2.4 RC1). Npp now supports calltips. I was thinking of adding them to context.xml but it would be very time-consuming. Basically, when typing a context command you would get a little window giving you some info about that command if you want it. I may make some suggestions to the Npp team to make this feature more useful. Anyway, Npp keeps getting better and better. It recently won the SourceForge's Community Choice Awards for Best Tool or Utility for Developers: http://ostatic.com/169634-blog/sourceforges-community-choice-awards-winners-named There are just a few more things Npp could use to make this a near-perfect ConTeXt editor, I'll bug the developers soon... Npp can now use external lexers. Eventually I would like to translate the ConTeXt syntax setup to a lexer so we can add a bit more flexibility. Lexer development is way beyond my skills at the moment but if anyone is interested in contributing to this I'd be happy for the help. F7 will repeat the last script executed by F6. So it behaves differently than F7 in Hans' Scite setup (Build). I use NppExec instead of Run anyway. In the next version, I may deprecate the Run menu commands and attach the shortcuts to the NppExec scripts; I think there is even a way to then may a menu of these NppExec shortcuts. This will allow for easier tweaking and experimenting by users, and also updating when Hans changes things ;-) The startstop module is still included, though Hans has just added support for footnote etc environments so that part of the module can be commented out. For mkiv a new sectioning mechanism is on the way, and mkii users can still use Wolfgang's module. See startstop.tex.
