How to configure context command in Emacs

How to configure context command in Emacs

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hello,

I hope there are some Emacs users out there. ;-)

I can use emacs with context-mode when I start the program like this:

. ~/context/tex/setuptex ; emacs &

I could not find a way to set this in my emacs init file. Neither of the
ways described here worked for me:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath

I set this in .bashrc:

if [-f ~/context/tex/setuptex ]; then
   . ~/context/tex/setuptex
fi

to always have context available in a shell and in emacs if I start it
from bash.

Starting Emacs via the start menu of Gnome results in an Emacs that does
not know ConTeXt.

I found some hints how to source .bashrc in emacs but this only affects
the emacs shell not the command calling from within AucTeX.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

AFAIK, combining both of these should have worked, but it has been ages
since I used emacs that way, and I do not even have one installed any more,
sorry.

Perhaps if you use .profile instead, as that should be executed during login
(before gnome even starts)?

Best wishes,

Taco

but I guess that looking at
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/
can help.

I have a hacky solution, which I haven't tested in a while.

Make a shell script called "mycontext" somewhere in the PATH.  Include the
following in it:

#!/bin/bash

. ~/context/tex/setuptex

context $@

Make it executable.  And then use "mycontext" as the TeX command inside
emacs.  For example, you can refer to AucTeX's documentation for that.

I also wonder about the current quality of ConTeXt support within Emacs?

In the past Patrick did some work on it, but, probably, atm he is busy with
Speedata Publisher...

I 've been using emacs + auctex for years and they work fine with ConTeXt:
I modified the \etc\environment file as:
OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts;/home/fvleung/.fonts"
PATH="/home/fvleung/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
I added the following in the .emacs file:
;; ConTeXt mkiv
(eval-after-load 'tex
'(add-to-list
 'TeX-command-list
 '("ConTeXt mkiv" "context --nonstopmode %t"
   TeX-run-command nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt mkiv")))

Thank you!

Do you possibly use RefTeX as well?
