There was, but unfortunately it has been broken for a while, it just couldn't keep up with the software. It is both an advantage and a disadvantage to ConTeXt that it is a rapidly developing system. That gives it a lot of flexibility and we users can have close contact with the developers, so if you wish for something, you may actually get it, too. On the other hand this means that things are continuously on the move and sometimes you have to readjust your coding or your installation to fit the bill. It also seems that somewhere there's still a link to that old wiki page on Windows installation, I thought I'd killed them all... Here are the instructions that worked in September-October 2011, when I installed a few Windows 7 machines. Unfortunately it still involves fiddling a bit with file paths, but you only need to do this once; after that updating is pretty smooth (if the beta isn't broken in some other way...). http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation:_ConTeXt_Suite_with_SciTe As the only TeX system I use is ConTeXt, I've been running ConTeXt + SciTe combo almost from the moment it became available, and I've been reasonably happy with it most of the time. I admit that when I migrated my work stuff from Word to ConTeXt, the learning curve was very steep - and again this week I've spent several hours cursing non-existent documentation and trying to figure out in what order to do things. BUT once I get things to work in the way they should, upkeep is usually easy and I don't risk getting my graphics heavy files broken like what used to happen with Word. [Just had to go through another round of fighting over my right to use ConTeXt for what I do, but it seems that I won this round. Money talks, too, installing ConTeXt + SciTe on five computers is a lot cheaper than doing the same with InDesign...] Hope this helps, Mari Voipio ConTeXting in Windows since around 2003 ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
