Re: [NTG-context] Installing VSCode extension?

Hi Alasdair, i fiddled with SciTE some years ago and ended with a file myproperties.properties in the programdata\scite directory. In this file i set the fonts and my context command as follows: ---- # Codepages # UTF-8 code.page=65001 output.code.page=65001 # Byte # code.page=0 position.left=25 position.top=25 position.width=1870 position.height=1000 font.base=font:Consolas,size:15 font.monospace=$(font.base) font.errorfont=$(font.base) font.comment=$(font.base) font.text=$(font.base) font.text.comment=$(font.base) font.embedded.base=$(font.base) font.embedded.comment=$(font.base) font.vbs=$(font.base) command.1.$(file.patterns.context)=cmd /c context $(FileNameExt) && start sumatraPDF $(FileName).pdf -reuse-instance ---- The last line of SciTEGlobal.properties is import myproperties This works ok for me.

Thanks again, I've fiddled with SciTE, but when I attempted to compile a context file, I was told that "texexec" wasn't in my path, so somehow, somewhere, I must have picked up an old version of the compile command. Also, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of getting SciTE to use a monospaced font. I've fiddled with the customization files to no avail whatsoever. I think I have Atom already, but surely there should be some easy way of getting other text editors working?

Thank you very much, but in fact that script file

"vscode-context.cmd" really just contains the same command for installing extensions as I quoted above - and so produces the same errors. Maybe I'll go back to

SciTe - I gave it a bit of a go, but wasn't successful. Of all the information on the context-wiki, and the Pragma webpage - where would I go to find the most up-to-date information about configuring an editor to work with ConTeXt in Windows?

You could try Atom and install the ConTeXt module from github.com/massifrg/language-context. Original language-context is outdated, but upstream didn’t react to mails from Massi and me. This version also isn’t perfect, but I’m using and occasionally updating it. (I should re-base it on the current work done for the wiki.) There’s also still no run command.

Additionally you should install - language-latex (contains plain TeX commands) - language-lua - atom-ide-terminal (for running ConTeXt in place) - file-icons (only icon package that contains TeX icons) - pdf-view (not very good, but good enough for simple cases)

Best, Hraban
