I'm an idiot, sorry. Try using this line instead: . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex I hope I'm not still an idiot. :-) David

. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex

Ah, ok, it's a single line.

If the command works, type

$ echo $TEXMFMAIN

$ which texmfstart $ which texexec $ which context

Perfect, all seems to work Thanks David, Aditya.

Great. If you found certain instructions on the wiki confusing, please add details there.

- How does font selection work under luatex?

I don't know font selection in XeTeX, and understand font selection in luatex only marginally, so I'll let someone else answer this.

I never used the short definition for XeTeX but fonts defined with the longer form can be used with XeTeX and LuaTeX, you could use the same typescripts. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mark_IV#A_.28Complete.29_Typescript_Example http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080413.111450.d1603396.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080609.010650.0b8f9e15.en.html You can find more threads in the list archive.

- What have I to do to use bibtex?

Suppose your file is called thesis.tex (Ok, I had to test things to ensure what I was saying was true, and that is the only test file that I have currently :). Now run $context thesis This will create a lot of warnings about missing references, ignore them. Then run $bibtex thesis This will create tesis.bbl. Now run context, and all those warnings will be gone. You only need to run bibtex once (unless you change your bib file).

This situation is temporary. When Hans implements intermediate run's in mtxrun, you will not need to run bibtex by hand.

So, it's like latex? Have I to specify that I'm using the bib module? I mean, this: \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=semiotiche] Best -a-

So, it's like latex?

Well, not exactly. Let me explain how bibtex works in latex, and then how it works in context. In latex, you write \cite{ref1}, \cite{ref2}, etc. to cite a document, \bibliographystyle{style} to tell the style of the references, and \bibliography{bib-file} to tell the name of the bib database. When you run latex on this file, for each \cite{ref1} latex writes \citation{ref1} into the aux file; for \bibliographystyle{style} it writes \bibstyle{style} and for \bibliography{bib-file} it writes \bibdata{bib-file}. Latex aux file contains all sort of auxillary information, but bibtex only reconizes the about three commands. When you run bibtex, it translates the references included in \citation from the bib-file to latex markup, as specified by the style file. These are stored in the bbl file. All these features are hardcoded in bibtex, so it makes it difficult to use bibtex with anything other than latex. The bib module exploits a feature in bibtex to make it work with context. If you write \cite{*} in your latex document, latex writes \citation{*} in the aux file, and bibtex translates *all* the enteries in the bib-file to latex markup. So, the bib module writes \citation{*} to the aux file. Next, in order to get the references in a manner that context can understand, Taco has written a bib style file that translates the bib file to \start \stop publication style. So, in terms of interaction with bibtex, bib module creates a very simple aux file \citation{*} \bibstyle{cont-no} \bibdata{bib-file} When you run bibtex on this, bibtex translates *all* the references in your bib file to context markup. On the second run, the bib module reads these commands, and stores everything as registers internally and uses ConTeXt inbuilt functions for sorting etc.

Have I to specify that I'm using the bib module?

Usually, you only need to do: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=bib-file] \setuppublications[alternative=ieee] % ieee is my own bib style % see documentation for other options Normally (that is in mkii), context (rather texexec) runs bibtex after the first run behind the scenes. In mkiv running is not implemented in mtx-context script yet. So you need to run bibtex *once* after the first run. This will create the bbl file, which contains *all* your references in the bib file, so until you change your bib file, you do not need to run bibtex again. Again, this is temporary; once mtx-context allows for commands to be executed inbetween context runs, you will not need to run bibtex by hand.

I mean, this:

\usemodule[bibltx]

Normally you should not need to include the bibltx module. The bibltx module reads the bbl files created by bibtex for latex. Suppose you have an old latex project, and you only have its bbl file but not the bib file. Suppose you want to translate the project to context. Then rather than translating all your references back to bib format, the bibltx module allows you to use the bbl file created for latex. You should not need to do this for new projects.

\setupbibtex[database=semiotiche]
