AUCTeX and ConTeXt

AUCTeX and ConTeXt

[Charles P. Schaum]

I really like the support that AUCTeX gives for ConTeXt. Actually, in
general it does well with any flavor. I'll have to RTFM to see what I
can do to start a new file specifically in ConTeXt, plain, or whatever,
not just LaTeX.

The weird thing is that it reports unspecified "problems" at the end of
running context but no such problems really exist.

The trivial snippet:

\starttext
Hello, world!
\stoptext

yields the message buffer:

Updating define menu...
Updating setup menu...
Updating other macro's menu...
Updating project structure menu...
Updating section block menu...
Updating section menu...
Updating...done
Type `C-c C-l' to display results of compilation.
ConTeXt: problems after {1} page.

The pdf generated is, however, entirely satisfactory, as are all texted
documents.

My strategy is to ignore it. This appears specific to AUCTeX, in this
case running on GTK Emacs 22 / Ubuntu 8.04. By contrast, I have minimal
to no problems on my OS X installation.

What are the exit codes for texexec?  Perhaps these are different from
what auctex is expecting.

I think this is a problem in context.el. David Kastrup helped me with  
this problem at last year's ConTeXt meeting. Open the file auctex/ 
context.el in your favorite text editor. Now search for this line:

	((re-search-forward "^ TeX\\(Exec\\|Util\\)" nil t) ;; strange regexp  
--pg


Insert a question mark right before TeX, so the line reads

	((re-search-forward "^ ?TeX\\(Exec\\|Util\\)" nil t) ;; strange  
regexp --pg


That should fix your problem. pg, a.k.a. Patrick Gundelach, are you  
reading this? :-)

Hi Thomas+Charles,

As an auctex user, I have the same problem; but the question mark is
already in the context.el file. So I imagine the root of the problem is
somewhere else... :-(

cheers,

I did put the question mark where there was none, and I still got the
behavior.

yes, I am reading this. But I hope that there is somebody else
maintaining AUCTeX at the moment :-)
