TeXexec MkII, ConTeXt MkIV

TeXexec MkII, ConTeXt MkIV

[Tom Maynard]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 371 bytes --]

  Hello,

I have pretty recent installations of TeXLive 2010 (for Cygwin) and 
ConTeXt Minimals (for Windows).  In both installations, running TeXexec 
reports it is ConTeXt MkII ... but running ConTeXt directly reports 
itself as MkIV.

I would like to synchronize TeXexec and MkIV ... as MkIV ... how is this 
done -- for each installation?

Thanks for your help,
Tom.

The "old" ConTeXt (MkII) is accessed through the texexec command. The
"new" ConTeXt (MkIV) is accessed through the context command. If you
want to use MkIV, simply use the context command in every case, and
forget the texexec command (unless you do mean MkII).

I hope that was useful and had something to do with what you wanted to
know. :)

if a file is really mkii, you can put

% engine=pdftex

at the top of the file and the context script will understand that ad 
run texexec ... handy if you run context from within an editor and only 
want one command

A bit off topic: is there still a plan to reimplement texexec in Lua
and get rid of dependancy on Ruby?

in principle the context script can replace the texexec one apart from 
index sorting; I have a lua variant of that somewhere but untested

If you are willing to post it, I'm willing to test it.

I think that you are confused by the terminology.

ConTeXt MkII is the collection of context maros that work with pdftex and 
xetex engine. ConTeXt MkIV is the collection of context macros that work 
with luatex engine.

texexec is a ruby wrapper to run ConTeXt macros. context is a lua wrapper 
to run ConTeXt macros. Both wrappers can run either any engine

texexec --pdftex
texexec --xetex
texexec --luatex

or

context --pdftex
context --xetex
context --luatex

Just that texexec defaults to --pdftex while context defaults to --luatex

The above options should work with both TL and minimals.

I was, but you have resolved that.  Your answer was, as you perfectly 
well know, completely correct.  Thank you (all of you!) for your help in 
getting me straightened out.

I'm (rather obviously) a newcomer to the ConTeXt world and am enjoying 
the discovery.

Thanks again to one and all.
Tom.
