Configure AUCTeX to run context not texec

Configure AUCTeX to run context not texec

[Michael Ash]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 775 bytes --]

Dear all,

I have a working version of context

mash-laptop:~$ context --version

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2013.11.07 15:28


However, I edit files in emacs/AUCTeX and the compile command "C-c C-c"
calls "texexec" instead of "context" and so can't compile in emacs.  Does
anyone know how to change the command from "texexec" to "context" in
emacs/AUCTeX?

Thanks.

Best,
Michael

I have this in my emacs init file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load 'tex
  '(add-to-list
      'TeX-command-list
      '("ConTeXt" "context --nonstopmode %t"
        TeX-run-TeX nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have that  in my preference.el (I use aquamacs) :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun rol-context () 
(interactive)
   (save-current-buffer
(save-buffer)
(TeX-save-document "")
(setq TeX-PDF-mode nil)
 (let ((nomdufichiersansextension (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name))))

    (shell-command (format "context --autopdf %s.tex" nomdufichiersansextension))
(TeX-view))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have bound this function rol-context to the key "F7", it works fine but it's definitely non optimal !

Thank you very much for the advice on configuring AUCTeX to compile context
files.

Inserting the following snippet in my .emacs (emacs configuration) file
worked.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load 'tex
  '(add-to-list
      'TeX-command-list
      '("ConTeXt" "context --nonstopmode %t"
        TeX-run-TeX nil (context-mode) :help "Run ConTeXt")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This fix is imperfect because even though context runs properly, AUCTeX
reports "ConTeXt: problems after [0] pages"

AUCTeX doesn't believe that the file has been compiled and C-c C-c offers
to run context again. It is necessary to select "View"

Some googling suggests that the return codes from context are not properly
interpreted by AUCTeX.  I'm not sure if this is a context
non-standardization or an AUCTeX problem.  thoughts?

Best,
Michael

It's on my todo-list to fix it, but at very low priority.
In this case "problems after [0] pages" just means "success", so it's
only a cosmetic issue.

Also on my todo-list, but again at low priority: "View" is in my
history, so just pressing "up" does it. And once the viewer (evince
in my case) is launched, there is no further need for "View".

I don't think so, the return code is 0 (success). It's probably more a
matter of parsing the last lines of the terminal output.

An AUCTeX problem. If you have some time (I don't) and you like to
program with Emacs Lisp, then you could solve it.

This problem does not appear on my machine where instead of "context
--nonstopmode %t" I wrote "PATH=~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:$PATH 
context %s"

Interesting. What's your ConTeXt version, AUCTeX version and
Emacs version?

emacs 24.3.1 ubuntu
context minimal many versions (I update about once a week)
auctex 11.87.2 (installed via elpa and frequently updated)

I added the PATH thing so emacs can be started by the session manager.

Strange. I use also the latest versions, but I observe the same
behaviour as the OP...

Here is my complete customization regarding ConTeXt:
............................................
 '(ConTeXt-engine "luatex")
 '(TeX-PDF-mode t)
 '(TeX-command-list (quote (("ConTeXt" "PATH=~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:$PATH

.............................................

As you can see I deleted all standard context commands in auctex, but I doubt that
explains anything.

You use "TeX-run-command" instead of "TeX-run-TeX". Thus you're not able
to handle errors the usual way.

I must admit I was not aware of there being a difference there...

What is the recommnded way to configure one's preferred viewer in AUCTeX
to by used when processing ConTeXt files?

I don't know what is recommended, but this works for me:

(setq-default
 TeX-PDF-mode                           t
 TeX-default-mode                       'context-mode
 TeX-view-program-list
 '(("Okular" ("okular %(oo)" (mode-io-correlate "#src:%n%a"))))
 TeX-view-program-selection
 '(((output-dvi style-pstricks) "dvips and gv") (output-dvi "xdvi")
   (output-pdf "Okular") (output-html "xdg-open")))
