Gedit in Ubuntu as a ConteXt editor
HI ConTeXt friends! I've been using Gedit on my ubuntu system for quite some time and is very much happy with it. Here are some advantages: * UTF-8 encoding by default (which is in mind for LuaTeX). * highly configurable code snippets. reading xml-files. * Defining your own typesetting commands and associate it with some keycombination. Drawbacks * Syntax highlighting for LaTeX but works for context-specific also * I'm not sure if it is portable to windows * Some learning curve to learn how to create special ConTeXt plugin like this http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/LaTeXPlugin I've recently tested texworks but it seems missing the snippets capabilities. Is it someone out there who has experience in Gedit? Janneman -- TeX Engine : LuaTeX current version: 2008.10.31 17:32 OS : Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
You even can use LaTeX Plug-in of Gedit but it only recognises LaTeX commands so if you write in ConTeXt or plain TeX, it will think that you have got a master document.
But without the plug-in, you can do anything.
I agree with you. Gedit is the best editor. I wished that TeXworks also would include some of Gedit's features.

I spent some time "porting" LaTeXPlugin to ConTeXt, but I never finished it. It is some how usable, but some functionality is missing. The code is here if any one is interested: http://code.google.com/p/raqm/source/browse/#svn/trunk/code/gedit Regards, -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

I took the advantage and downloaded it. Many Thanks! Janneman
