[NTG-context] typesetting documentation
I kept this answer to my question in 2002 on typesetting the documentation: these files are now in theregular distribution, so texexec --modu --pdf somedoc.tex should work Hans [Hagen] Trying it today (through texmfstart or directly texexec) I get: No pages of output. Searching for typeset documentation in the ConTeXtWiki gives no clues. The texexec documentation there lists --module as the option to use: so I am baffled. How to typeset ConTeXt documentation today?

Personally, these days I just download the files from Luigi's website http://www.logosrl.it/context/modules/current/ Aditya Unfortunatly, they are outdated. Currently I'm working on luatex http://www.logosrl.it/context/luatex and context mkiv http://www.logosrl.it/context/mkiv/ List of oll modules http://www.logosrl.it/context/mkiv/modules Lua modules http://www.logosrl.it/context/mkiv/pdf I will only update pdftex . -- luigi it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] typesetting documentation
I looked up what Aditya said can be found in the wiki and did: texmfstart texexec --module kpse:mult-ini.tex I get the following output on my console: 108 ~/Temp/tex: texmfstart texexec --module kpse:mult-ini.tex /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ctxtools.rb: 641:in `initialize': Permission denied - /usr/local/texlive/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mult-ini.ted (Errno::EACCES) from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:641:in `open' from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:641:in `documentation' from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:629:in `each' from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:629:in `documentation' from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:2778:in `send' from /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/ ctxtools.rb:2778 The permissions of the directory involved can be seen from: ls -l /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/tex/context == drwxr-xr-x 767 sysop staff 26078 11 mrt 18:31 base That is, texexec tries to write into a directory for which has no write access. I operate normally as myself and only for the installation of software assume the role of system operator (to hinder rogue programs and protect myself from stupid deletes, for example). Do I understand correctly from this, that unless one has write access to the tex installation directories one cannot typeset the module source? If so, I urge Hans Hagen to change this and let texexec and friends write into tmp directories or in the users current directory. But I might be wrong and having something other amiss.

If so, I urge Hans Hagen to change this and let texexec and friends write into tmp directories or in the users current directory. Sometimes I want to run texexec on a file in the different directory. In that case, I find it useful that texexec is run on the directory in which the file lies (otherwise things like \input and \component will not work properly) But I might be wrong and having something other amiss. You can just copy the file to a local directory and create the documentation.
