i'm currently using SciTE, some day soon i'll post the new tex/mp lexer i wrote which does proper tex syntax highlighting and knows the tex/etex/pdftex/context commands and has setups for running/viewing files from the editor (tex/xml); since we'll use it here, i'll add the support files to the distribution -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vim/Gvim has syntax highlighting for TeX/Latex. It is my understanding thast one can add to or modify the syntax files. I find the generic TeX highlighting sufficient for my needs. With some work one can put expanding and collapsing outlines in Vim as well. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!

In fact I use gVim with all my ConTeXt files. I also put some extra stuff (not much) specific for ConTeXt, and enabled folding. I *even* tried to use the Perl integration to pop up context-sensitive keyword help with TeXShow, but failed miserably :\ -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

i'm currently using SciTE, some day soon i'll post the new tex/mp lexer i wrote which does proper tex syntax highlighting and knows the tex/etex/pdftex/context commands and has setups for running/viewing files from the editor (tex/xml); since we'll use it here, i'll add the support files to the distribution -)

I, too, have been using SciTE of late. Hans, are you still planning on adding your SciTE modifications to the distribution, or zipped up separately? Steve -- Steve Grathwohl * grath@duke.edu "War is God's way of teaching Americans geography." --Ambrose Bierce

I use NTEmacs. My flavor of (Con)TeX(t) comes on the TeXLive CD that also has NTEmacs, so I can install the editor at the same time with the rest of the system. This far I've managed to fairly successfully use the combination in Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP (otherwise perfect, getting fonts to work takes some time - now I have a cheat sheet for this, if needed). NTEmacs turns ConTeXt compatible with Berend Boer's ConTeXt mode, see http://www.berendboer.net/emacs/. With the changes suggested by Berend's ConTeXt readme (except it still has a typo in it... my .emacs is available at request), I can do all my ConTeXt work in NTEmacs, including pdf compilation and viewing. I'd assume that NTEmacs with its reasonably good mouse compatibility and everything would be fairly suitable even to a Windows person, assuming (s)he knows what an editor is for (>< not word processor). I might add here, that I first tried WinEdt, but its ConTeXt compatibility wasn't very good at the point (over a year back), so I opted for Emacs instead, having been an Emacs person earlier, albeit in Unix. Cheers, Mari

If u're stuck with Windows, I don't think anything is better than WinEdt. It's awesome and easy to use. For ConTeXt, I just redefined the pdfTeX batch file to call texexec, and made another batch file for Omega. I also designed a couple of buttons for special purposes and added them to the menu. The only drawback I know of is that it's windows-only and if u switch to a better;-) operating system u will have 2 learn an entirely new editor. Best Idris
Hi Martin,
Anybody know about any editor with ConTeXt support ?... For windows unfortunately...
there is of course the one and only true editor called emacs. It is available for the windows operationg system. As Mari already wrote, you can download context.el from Berend somewhere. There is also ConTeXt support in the current AUCTeX distribution, available via cvs. See https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/auctex/ for details. There is also a ConTeXt help system for emacs at http://levana.de/emacs/ (look for etexshow). Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl
