[NTG-context] Several questions about format generation
Hi all, in the diverse documentation about ConTeXt installation I find the instruction texexec --make ... --language ... for generating format files. Several questions arise: 1. What is the consequence of selecting specific languages after the --make option? Have the generated formats the same functionality, i.e. do they differ only in the user interface? In particular, do the different formats have the same hyphenation capabilities? 2. In the How to install ConTeXt manual I read that the nl-format is needed for some postprocessing features built in texexec. Is this still valid? The TeXLive distribution of 2004 contains only the cont-en.fmt file. 3. Is using the --language xy option equivalent to the using the \mainlanguage[xy] macro? 4. In case that several format files exist: which one is selected by texexec? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

The same for teTeX 3.0 So I think *-nl* is not need unless you need some things (e.g labels,...) related to NL, right ? ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
