Building formats from within Scite

Building formats from within Scite

[David Arnold]

All,

Hans tells me that I can rebuild formats from within Scite, but I  
cannot figure out how?

It should be under Ctrl 9, but doesn't work for me either. My scite
seems to dislike this line in context.properties:

   if $(context.distribution.writable)

it is apparently never true.

No Ctrl+9 on my menus.

I suspect it is a bug or missing feature in SciTE. I run 1.62
here, which is rather old. You can copy the relevant bits from
context.properties to your User options file (without the if
statement, of course). It is the indented block that follows

    if $(context.distribution.writable)

(you can edit context.properties directly, but mine is a
symlink to the distributed one from hans)

Cheers, Taco

create a desktop link to cmd.exe (the black console icon in accessoires) 

edit the properties and change the call to 

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k .....\setuptex.bat 

the setuptex script is in your isoimage path a b it down the line

that way you will get a console that knows 

texexec --make --all --fast 

another option is, when you have scite open, to open a console from scrite, or, to click on the right pane and just key in the same texexec command (the right pane is a both for messages and commands)
