integratie context/Latex2e (MikTeX 1.11)

integratie context/Latex2e (MikTeX 1.11)

[Erik.Cuynen]

Hi,

due to a coincidence, I became aware of the existence of ppchtex. It can
be easily implemented in Latex2e as follows:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{m-chemie}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

Details on the syntax are explained in document ppch-ned.pdf (in dutch).
However, 
	I got also interested very much in the context package. The
context pdf manual looks so overwelming that I would like to try it out
immediately. With this mail, I hope to get the necessary information on
how to extend the existing MikTeX installation with CONTEXT.
As I understand from the manual, one has to process files with:
	context <filename>
Can you provide the necessary information/files to have this working?

Thank you very much!

Erik Cuynen

PS I already downloaded con-tex.zip but a file contex.exe seems missing;
unless I do something wrong?

You should first generate a ftm file. Can you search for that in the
miktex manuals? 

Just like plain.fmt and latex.fmt, you should make a context.fmt,
probably doing something like:

  tex   --ini cont-nl   % dutch version 

or 

  miktex -ini cont-nl 

Then you can run context by 

  tex &cont-nl 

or something alike. 

Just start searching for 'generating formats' in the manuals. 

You need a rather large memory setup, so also search for 'memory'. 

(When you manage to find out, we make a nice description.)
