Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

Hi Bruce, You have three solutions in order to solve the TeXShop issue. Here they are: Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file: %!TEX TS-program = mkiv Note that in the above you should replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name known to your TeXShop installation (for instance « ContextSuite», or any other name you have, or (may God forgive both of us…) even « latex »…). When you typeset with ConTeXt, the TeXShop will use the chosen engine. Solution 2: when your source file is open you should have at the top your window a small menu named « Program ». Click on that menu and among the programs (that is the engines) choose th eone you want. Solution 3: open the TeXShop Preferences and in the « Typesetting » pane , on the upper left part of the resulting window choose the radio button « Command listed below » and type the name of your preferred engine. Best regards: OK

I see, thanks. I did use --engines=luatex. I was aware that Mark II had been superseded by Mark IV, but I hadn't realized that texexec was the same thing as Mark II. OK, so I won't worry about that issue any more.

It seems that my only remaining problem is the aforementioned TeXShop issue. I will keep working on it.

Best, Bruce

Also, FWIW, I note that de Boer's document, "LaTeX in proper ConTeXt" recommends compiling from the command line using texexec rather than context. This does not work for me. The command "texexec" exists, and I can run it, but it does not produce a .pdf file -- just a .tmp file.

That document is a very old one. Nowadays context is preferred to texexec (also known as Mark II or MkII). If you installed context with --engines=luatex you explicitly did not installed prerequisites for Mark II (pdftex with fonts etc.).
