Hi, Am using eclipse as my editor (eTex) but it is really too heavy, anyone knows of an editor that works fine within tex and windows. What about TexWork. Many thanks.

Depends on what you want of your editor and how you want it to be. I use NTEmacs (prefer that to XEmacs) with context.el and I have yet to see it to crash in the ConTeXt mode (some others on the other hand... but that's a rare problem). As I don't ever write TeX (wouldn't know how, I started with ConTeXt), I autoload the ConTeXt mode on top of tex mode, but I understand that you could keep the default settings to do TeX and load the Context major mode only when writing ConTeXt. The ConTeXt CD system has SciTe and it looks like something a "normal" (not so nerdy) Windows user would want, but I'm long time GNUEmacs user and prefer NTEmacs already for that (I also find that compiling is easier to follow and debug in Emacs, but this is a personal preference). The disclaimer here is that my ConTeXt code is fairly basic and I write codes by hand, I only use the editor to highlight (which job it does quite nicely) and validate (checking the parentheses) the code and to compile and view pdf files. So my needs are very simply and are easily filled by either SciTe (for those mouse people...) or NTEmacs (for those who are willing to learn something new or already know Emacs), both extended with suitable ConTeXt package (mode, plug-in, whatever you want to call it). I guess I should really start working on those "ConTeXt basics for Windows" articles or something... mari (just slightly "nerdish" Windows person)

Hi,
Am using eclipse as my editor (eTex) but it is really too heavy, anyone knows of an editor that works fine within tex and windows.
See: http://contextgarden.net/Text_editor especially emacs... Please share your experience on the wiki :-) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

Hans, One of my favorite things about Auctex+Emacs is C-M-\ which will format marked region, buffer, etc. The source coes is ually nicely aligned after application of this macro. Now, I've seen your source code over the years and it is quite beautiful, easy to read. Are you telling us that Scite will do alignment of tables and other nice automatic formatting?

the look and feel of code is one of the reasons for the way the context interface looks (also the syntax highlighting); as soon as something looks bad in code, i need to make a new macro cq. environment -) for a long time we used our own editor (written long ago) and that one indeed had some handy alignment options; for scite i do have a pipeline for doing similar things

i do have some experimental stuff running here (scite <-> ruby) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Dirar and Mari, if you use emacs, you can try out AUCTeX, wich has all of context.el from Berend de Boer as well as some nice features you get from AUCTeX. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
Hi Dirar, I would suggest that you try Scite. This editor integrates very nicely with Context and Hans has done a great job providing this integration. Willi Dirar BOUGATEF wrote:

For Windows there is really nothing that matches WinEdt for TeX. It can easily be customised for ConTeXt as well. Scite certainly has its appeal, and I use it sometimes, but the features of WinEdt for the average TeX user are unmatched as far as I can tell; even Linux does not offer anything comparable. The only thing it misses is full Unicode and bidi support. Unfortunately Scite does not have that either...
