Hello there, I am absolutely new to this ConTeXt typesetting system. So I think my problems are boring to most of you ... anyway, they are bothering me :-( I've found in the manual how to produce ä, ö etc ... the german Umlaute. but I wasn't succesfull with the sharp s (ß) ... can anyone help? Second ... I am also using gvim as an editor; is there a package supporting ConTeXt with gvim? Thanks in advance, Raimund
Hello Raimund, \enableregime[latin1] % or whatever... will enable you to type umlauts, ß and other characters directly. Eckhart

Interestingly this does NOT work! I tried it several times. [il1] DOES work. Don't ask me why. ... jut to let you know. Raimund

If you use \language[de] (or deo=pre-spelling reform hyphenation) then you should be able to use "s, "z, "S, "Z. The first produce a ß, the latter a SS or SZ. "s means SS and "z SZ if you make capital letters. (This is the same as \LATEX's \usepackage{german}.) Using the correct input encoding (such as \enableregime[windows]) you can directly enter "ß". If you for some reason don't want to use the \language[de], you may use \SS{} (\ss has been used for sans-serif, so this is unfortunally different to LaTeX and plain TeX.
Second ... I am also using gvim as an editor; is there a package supporting ConTeXt with gvim? I thought I saw it mentioned on the list, but I cannot find it in the archive.

Ahh! Works perfectly ... just to be correct: I am using a linux machine - is there a more appropriate command than [windows]? Or is it ok to leave it at that? Raimund

Give \enableregime[il1] a try. Don't know where the differences are. Have to look into the sourcecode. Patrick

Patrich already answered "il1", that means "iso-latin1"; AFAIK there's no difference to "windows". If you like you may try "utf" (for UTF-8) with the latest beta. Perhaps my german ConTeXt tutorial is of help for you. See link below. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Gvim does syntax highlighting and will recognize your file as a TeX file if you have highlighting turned on. You can have two windows up, one for Gvim and one for Acroread. Periodically in your process you can use this Gvim command: :!texexec foo.tex (plus whatever parameters you need) ...and then close and reopen the foo.pdf image in Acrobat Reader. This is how I do it on a Linux system anyhow. I opened acrobat reader as a separate process with the command acroread foo.tex & ...which means that it won't shut down when I close the previous version of foo.pdf.
