Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Gerben Wierda]

I have a finished mkii project and I’d like to be able to export it to a format that can be a start for other distributions (such as epub or the like). For this, I get the impression I need mkiv.

Now, before I go on trying to move my project to mkiv I have a question. Can I run mkii and mkiv side by side? That is, if I configure my TeX setup for mkiv (I am using MacTeX 2014), can I still fall back to the old setup when I fail?

Second, is there some step-by-step instruction to move a project from mkii to mkiv?

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Gerben,

Indeed this is possible to use mkii and mkiv side by side.
In particular if you use TeXShop, it is enough to say at the beginning of your TeX file

%!TEX TS-program = mkii

or 

%!TEX TS-program = mkiv

where it is assumed that you have created two files named

	mkii.engine

and

	mkiv.engine

located in the directory
	
	~/Library/TeXShop/Engines

For instance my file mkii.engine contains the following lines:

#!/bin/bash
source /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/setuptex 
texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" 

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

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"

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!

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Otared Kavian]

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

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1383 bytes --]

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!

regards
	Keith

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!

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Gerben Wierda]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3546 bytes --]

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.

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.

Hi Gerben,

I would not say old-fasshoined , but old school.

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

I am sure your makefiles are more complex.

regards
	Keith.

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

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Keith J. Schultz]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 948 bytes --]

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 <http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/tools-mkiv.pdf>

regards
	Keith.

Change `texexec --pdf` to `context`

Re: Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?

[Keith J. Schultz]

Hi Gerben,

Mkii and Mkiv are to different animals and live side by side.

You do not need to change your TeX setup at all!

All you need to do is change the call to start the processing.

Mkiv can be called with the context …
or 
mtxrun -script context …


What I do not know is in what kind of „environment you are working in.
MacOS or Terminal, or Xquartz( aka X11), because you could even install
ConTeXt Standalone! and us it all of them side by side!

If you use the Standalone you need to setup the Paths properly though.
There is a shell script that helps with this if you are working directly in the „Unix“-
environment.

If you use TeXShop, it is easy enough, just switch the Engine in the editor.
and typeset!! For TexWorks it should be similiar.

I do not believe there are step by step instructions for going from mkii to mkiv.

To my knowledge most mkii code should run under mkiv!

Yet, you can do many things easier in mkiv than in mkii!

But, I think you know one step: make a copy of your project and work on that!! ;))

Hope this helps
	Keith
