Hi Keith, Thanks for your attention. Indeed I use the latest TeXShop (version 3.49) but regarding the content my mkii.engine file if I remove the line source /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/setuptex then I cannot typeset with my standalone installation of Context: I tried to use a set path such as set path = ($path /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin) but I get an error message telling me: /Users/kavian/Library/TeXShop/Engines/mkii.engine: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /Users/kavian/Library/TeXShop/Engines/mkii.engine: line 3: `set path = ($path /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin)’ So at this point I have to keep the instruction to source the setuptex file in order to typeset either with mkii or mkiv, using the standalone Context. Best regards: OK

Hi Otared and Gerben,

I do not know which version of TeXShop you are using but the more recent ones have Engines for ConTeXt, already.

If they are not already installed you can find them in: ~/Libraries/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive

just more the Contex( LuaTeX).engine into Engines and restart TeXShop.

Here is the engine definition for MacTeX 2014 (TeXLive) #!/bin/tcsh

# Before using this engine, you must run the following command once in Terminal: luatools --generate

set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin) mtxrun --script context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"

Hi Gerben, [snip, snip] For instance my file mkii.engine contains the following lines:

#!/bin/bash source /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/setuptex texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" No need to Source setuptex. Just set the Path to your ConTeXt Standalone directory The setuptex script is a multi-platform script to setup the paths!

...

where /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/setuptex is the path to the file setuptex in my Context standalone directory.

Hi Keith, I got it! With the proper setting of paths it works without sourcing setuptex. Thus I have for my installation of mkii: ---------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" ---------------------------------------------- Many thanks again! Best regards: OK

Hi Otared,

actually, just setting the PATH variable will work, but you have to set it with the proper command!

The Standard TexShop engines use the tcsh shell and not bash !!

either change the first line to #!/bin/tcsh

or set the path bash style export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH

I put the standard PATH behind the minimals path so that it is searched first!

So, what would be easiest for me if I know what commend to use instead of the texexec command.

You can use context <filename> to process your document with MkIV and context —pdftex <filename> to process your document with MkII. As you can see all you have to do is to replace texexec with the context command. You can also force from within your document when you add % engine=pdftex as first line of your document. Wolfgang

Hi Gerben,

Wolgang said to use context, but that is just a script that calls mtxrun!

So you can use:

mtxrun —script context

for other options look for:

tool-mkiv.pdf

Is that part of MacTeX? Or do I need to download a separate ConTeXt somewhere and install it somewhere in the texlive directory structure? G

I am sure your makefiles are more complex.

I don’t use TeXShop for these projects. I use a separate editor in a shell and a Makefile (very old-fashioned). The Makefile contains stuff like:

OPEN=echo MODE=--mode=standalone ONCE=

.SUFFIXES: .pdf .tex .open

.pdf.open: open $<

.tex.pdf: texexec --pdf ${MODE} ${ONCE} $<

once: make ONCE="--once" book-open

full: make ONCE="" book-open

prd_book.pdf: ${PRODUCTSDIR}/prd_book.tex ${ENVDIR}/env_cataoia.tex \ $(TEXS) $(BOOKIMAGES) /Users/gerben/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/gwierda.bib make MODE="--mode=editor" ONCE="${ONCE}" ${PRODUCTSDIR}/prd_book.pdf

I can do a quick compile with 'make once' and a full compile with 'make full’. And if I compile a separate chapter file it ends up being compiled differently from compiling a full book (e.g. the endnotes and bibliography end up at the end of the chapter) so I can work on separate chapters.

luna:chapters gerben$ make -n c_loosely.pdf texexec --pdf --mode=standalone c_loosely.tex luna:chapters gerben$ make -n prd_book.pdf make MODE="--mode=editor" ONCE="" ../products/prd_book.pdf

The latter turns into

texexec --pdf --mode=editor ../products/prd_book.tex

And the environment file has:

\startmode[standalone] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber][{\jobname->\filename{\currentcomponent}}] \def\maybeendnotes {\subsubject{Notes} \placenotes[endnote] \subsubject{Bibliography} \switchtobodyfont[9pt] \placepublications[criterium=all]} \appendtoks \maybeendnotes \to \everystoptext \stopmode

So, what would be easiest for me if I know what commend to use instead of the texexec command.

Hi Gerben,

Sorry, one typo! The file is tools-mkiv.pdf.

It is not in the MacTeX distribution! You get it with Standalone, I normally use that!

But you can get it at: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/tools-mkiv.pdf
