A question for the hardcore members. On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manuals I read:
ConTeXt Sources (MkII)
Apart from the manuals, the source files (especially, some of the old ones) contain excellent documentation and examples. If you want a pretty printed pdf of a source file, say core-rul.tex, you can type texmfstart texexec --module kpse:core-rul.tex
But this apparently doesn’t work any more (i.e., I simply entered that line in the Mac terminal and nothing happened). Am I doing something wrong?

Do you really need mkii ?

I'm afraid so. I need XeTeX for its support of Indic fonts. And for my purposes MkII is already very, very nice.

BTW, I tried –
Luigi http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso has converted all the context sources into pdf. More details are available at User:Luigi.scarso/modules.pdf http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/modules.pdf
as mentioned on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manuals, but the server does not respond.

uh.. still there ? I will remove it.
In any case, too old (its main purpose was testing mkii)

hm...ok.
The main entry point is mtxrun : $> mtxrun --script
So for mkii we have $> mtxrun --script texexec .... $> mtxrun --script texfont ...
For modules
$ mtxrun --script modules mtx-modules | ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators 1.00 mtx-modules | mtx-modules | --convert convert source files (tex, mkii, mkiv, mp) to 'ted' files mtx-modules | --process process source files (tex, mkii, mkiv, mp) to 'pdf' files mtx-modules | --prep use original name with suffix 'prep' appended mtx-modules | --direct use old method instead of extra mtx-modules | mtx-modules | mtx-modules | More information about ConTeXt and the tools that come with it can be found at: mtx-modules | mtx-modules | maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context mtx-modules | webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net mtx-modules | wiki : http://contextgarden.net

the other languages in indic will probably be supported in a couple of weeks (basics are there but a bit of extra code is needed)

YAY! Cool! ConTeXt MkIV / LuaTeX makes itself seriously interesting for a sixth of mankind.
I'll happily serve as a guinea pig / tester.

Is this still planned? I would love to be able to use LuaTeX for say Kannada or Telugu typesetting.

Sure. Most relevant data is already present, we only need to add a special case.
