ConTeXt Sources (MkII)

ConTeXt Sources (MkII)

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 528 bytes --]

A question for the hardcore members. On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manuals I read:

ConTeXt Sources (MkII)

Apart from the manuals, the source files (especially, some of the old ones) contain excellent documentation and examples. If you want a pretty printed pdf of a source file, say core-rul.tex, you can type
 texmfstart texexec --module kpse:core-rul.tex

But this apparently doesn’t work any more (i.e., I simply entered that line in the Mac terminal and nothing happened). Am I doing something wrong?

I'm afraid so. I need XeTeX for its support of Indic fonts. And for my purposes MkII is already very, very nice.

In any case, too old (its  main purpose was testing mkii)

hm...ok.

The main entry point  is mtxrun :
$> mtxrun --script

So for  mkii  we have
$> mtxrun --script texexec ....
$> mtxrun --script texfont ...

For modules


$ mtxrun --script modules
mtx-modules     | ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators 1.00
mtx-modules     |
mtx-modules     | --convert              convert source files (tex, mkii,
mkiv, mp) to 'ted' files
mtx-modules     | --process              process source files (tex, mkii,
mkiv, mp) to 'pdf' files
mtx-modules     | --prep                 use original name with suffix
'prep' appended
mtx-modules     | --direct               use old method instead of extra
mtx-modules     |
mtx-modules     |

the other languages in indic will probably be supported in a couple of 
weeks (basics are there but a bit of extra code is needed)

YAY! Cool! ConTeXt MkIV / LuaTeX makes itself seriously interesting for a sixth of mankind.

I'll happily serve as a guinea pig / tester.

Is this still planned? I would love to be able to use LuaTeX for say
Kannada or Telugu typesetting.

Sure. Most relevant data is already present, we only need to add a 
special case.
