I have a hacky solution, which I haven't tested in a while. Make a shell script called "mycontext" somewhere in the PATH. Include the following in it: #!/bin/bash . ~/context/tex/setuptex context $@ Make it executable. And then use "mycontext" as the TeX command inside emacs. For example, you can refer to AucTeX's documentation for that. On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 10:08 AM luigi scarso wrote:

Hello,

I hope there are some Emacs users out there. ;-)

I can use emacs with context-mode when I start the program like this:

. ~/context/tex/setuptex ; emacs &

I could not find a way to set this in my emacs init file. Neither of the ways described here worked for me:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath

I set this in .bashrc:

if [-f ~/context/tex/setuptex ]; then . ~/context/tex/setuptex fi

to always have context available in a shell and in emacs if I start it from bash.

Starting Emacs via the start menu of Gnome results in an Emacs that does not know ConTeXt.

I found some hints how to source .bashrc in emacs but this only affects the emacs shell not the command calling from within AucTeX.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

juh

not a solution for your problem (I manually run setuptex when I open an emacs shell) but I guess that looking at https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ can help.

I 've been using emacs + auctex for years and they work fine with ConTeXt: I modified the \etc\environment file as: OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts;/home/fvleung/.fonts" PATH="/home/fvleung/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" I added the following in the .emacs file: ;; ConTeXt mkiv (eval-after-load 'tex '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("ConTeXt mkiv" "context --nonstopmode %t" TeX-run-command nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt mkiv"))) Gour 於 2019年2月15日 週五 上午6:05寫道：

I also wonder about the current quality of ConTeXt support within Emacs?

In the past Patrick did some work on it, but, probably, atm he is busy with Speedata Publisher...
