Gedit in Ubuntu as a ConteXt editor

Gedit in Ubuntu as a ConteXt editor

[Jan-Erik Hägglöf]

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?

 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

I took the advantage and downloaded it.

Many Thanks!
