Indeed, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals says that |setuptex.bat| is provided in |installation-dir\tex\, but in reality, it sits in i||nstallation-dir\|||. Shoud I correct the wiki or have I overlooked something? Vyatcheslav

I tested 'texexec' on another computer (Kubuntu 7.10, TL2007, ruby 1.8.6) and it works, but I need it on [Debian 5.0, Gnome, ruby 1.8.7] where it fails. > > What's the time needed to run pdflatex on similar document size? I dont know; 'first-setup.sh' erased the path to the format files ;-) but 'pdflatex' was very clever. (I must reinstall 'texlive'.) > > Mojca >

problems setting the evironmental variable Win
by mattia schirosa 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Dear all, I have Miktex 2.7 and Contextminimal installed. I have problems setting the evironmental variables globally. I can't find setuptex.bat In the contextminimal installation folder there isn't. I have run a search in all my Pc and i didn't find it. In the wiki I found: ///// If you used the GUI installer and said yes to setting the evironmental variables globally, then you can run ConTeXt from anywhere. Otherwise, before running ConTeXt, you need to run setuptex.bat which is provided in installation-dir\tex\. This can be done by typing installation-dir\tex\setuptex.bat //// I have no tex folder. And I look in all the C:/contextminimal folder and there is no .bat file Where I wrong? How can I set the context environment without disinstalling Miktex? Thank very much. Good night ----------------------- Mattia Schirosa ----------------------- Cinema and Multimedia Engineer +39 3386837222

Make everything centered on page?
by Yue Wang 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I am making a presentation using ConTeXt. I want to locate whatever I typeset in the center of the page. In order to do this, I have to use many vfills on each page. Are there some clever ways to do this (perhaps through setuplayout? but the keys like location, height, width do not mean to solve this). Yue Wang

Hi all, here is a minimal test file that shows a problem with xml handling in the latest beta (this appears to be a consequence of the new structure code): \startbuffer[xmltest] <section> <title>First section</title> <content>Hello world</content> </section> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{section|content|title}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:section \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:content \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \section{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xmltest}{} \stoptext All best Thomas

ConTeXt MKIV won't run in TeXShop
by j m 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Good day! I am a MKII ConTeXt user who is interested in trying out MKIV. Tried installing MKIV on my MacBook (running Mac OS X Leopard) as instructed in Contextgarden but I cannot run it to compile using either TeXShop or the Terminal. The following are the steps I have taken to install MKIV: 1. tlmgr update --all 2. rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/ 3. rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/osx-universal/bin/lua… /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/universal-darwin/ 4. luatools --generate 5. context --make 6. mktexlsr 7. texexec --make --all 8. texexec --make --xtx --all 9. context --make cont-en At this point I encounter an error saying, "SORRY CONTEXT NOW NEEDS ETEX." Below is the Terminal output of the above command: MtxRun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en LuaTools | creating initialization file: cont-en LuaTools | using library path: /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base LuaTools | using lua libraries: l-string.lua l-lpeg.lua l-table.lua l-boolean.lua l-number.lua l-set.lua l-unicode.lua l-md5.lua l-os.lua l-io.lua l-file.lua l-url.lua l-dir.lua l-utils.lua l-dimen.lua luat-lib.lua luat-inp.lua luat-env.lua luat-tmp.lua luat-zip.lua luat-tex.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-string.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-lpeg.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-table.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-boolean.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-number.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-set.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-unicode.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-md5.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-os.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-io.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-file.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-url.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-dir.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-utils.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/l-dimen.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-lib.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-inp.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-tmp.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-zip.lua LuaTools | merging library /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-tex.lua LuaTools | saving merge from cont-en.lua LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-en.luc" "/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex" \\dump (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex SORRY CONTEXT NOW NEEDS ETEX ) ) mkiv lua stats : used config path - /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf.cnf;/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf mkiv lua stats : used cache path - /Users/jcmmd317 mkiv lua stats : input load time - 0.115 seconds mkiv lua stats : current memory usage - 6 MB (ctx: 6 MB) mkiv lua stats : node memory usage - 1 dir mkiv lua stats : control sequences - 332 of 115536 mkiv lua stats : callbacks - direct: 7, indirect: 41, total: 48 LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.650 seconds MtxRun | total runtime: 0.753 I ignored this error and proceeded to making the Context-MarkIV engine file for TeXShop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! joel mendoza
