Hi, Last year after my speech at BachoTeX, Hans told me, that we can get a local catalogue of ConTeXt macros. So I wrote on a piece of paper two commands but did not note much more and now I am not sure what do they stand for mtxrun --script server --auto When I run this, I got this on my console resolvers | trees | analyzing '/home/dthiriet/texmf' mtx-server | running at port: 8088 mtx-server | document root: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | main index file: unknown mtx-server | scripts subpath: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | context services: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua and then nothing appends for a quite long time (10 minutes). Is it building a base or something like this? How long should I wait to have it made? The second command I note is mtxrun --gethelp --url=http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=%command% --command= "\definecolor" When I run this, I get sh: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=definecolor: not found Is it because I did not build the base, or did I miss something (typo or so on?) Thanks, Damien Thiriet

The first command starts a Web server that you can query with the second command -- or obviously with a browser, using the URL displayed (localhost:8088, etc.). In order for the second command to succeed, you thus need to keep the first one running. In addition, you need to protect the URL in the second command from the shell, like thus for example: mtxrun --gethelp \ --url='http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=definecolor' \ --command='\definecolor' Specifically, it’s the question mark that gives the shell grief. Best, Arthur
