That's strange. Have you tried edit->prefs->documents then enable "restore 
last view settings when reopening documents"?

Yes, and to be sure I checked and tried it again just now. The --autopdf  
--pdf option resizes the acrobat window to default... very annoying.

Where are Notepad++ settings saved?

(2) Remains... Making NppLW's console talk with the context minimal

In the meantime, you can edit your files with NppLW and compile through a

Npp launches but in the console window

(1) close NppLW

(2) check the installed Wine fonts in

I got the Npp/Wine/LNX installation ok already Idris.
Thanks anyway. It's Npp's WXP settings transfer to
Wine/LNX I'm currently trying to figure out. That's
for tomorrow. Will keep you informed if I manage to
make this stuff work.

ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 5.0.3

[Alan Stone]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 824 bytes --]

Hi,

Re:  http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Notepad%2B%2B

It mentions "you can also use it under wine".

Regarding the ConTeXt support package for Npp,
any idea where to copy the Application Data\Notepad++
directory to ?

You can copy the Program Files\Notapad++ directory
to wine's Program Files and copy the contents of the ConTeXt
directory to the ConTeXt tree. However, under wine there's
no Application data directory.

Also, I'd like to copy my Windows Npp++
- Settings -> Preferences
- Settings -> Styler Configurator settings
- View -> User Define Dialog settings
to Wine's Npp++ installation.

Any idea which files are involved for these ?

It used to be the case that Npp would always open in the  
%Appdata%/Notepad++ directory. Maybe that's been fixed. Just play with it  
and see what happens. Unchecked, it will open in the dir of the current  
file.

What's the reason for this recommendation ?

Didn't have ConTeXt in the language menu. I installed the ConTeXt package
again and now it works ok.

In order to enable people to verify whether their package installation is
correct, it might be useful to add a screenshot of Npp with its dropped down
modified Language menu.

I suspect that your userDefineLang.xml is not being recognized and that  
you are using the default TeX setup. Don't know why... Are you sure the  
package is installed correctly? Lookk for where Npp installs the original  
userDefineLang.xml, then overide it with mine.

One thing I have noticed is that the default TeX language support in Npp  
is much better than in past versions. Folding is not so good, though.

Note that Hans wrote the original TeX lexer for scite that Npp uses by  
default (with some modifications). So probably there has been some  
development of this lexer on the scite side of things.

Idris

These work ok indeed. Nevertheless, the folding marks and foldings
themselves
run awkwardly in some tex files.

Back to readme.txt :

---
2) Folding

a) ... All \start-stops are foldable, and you can easily
add your own in the User-Defined-Language dialog; just select "ConTeXt"
and you can edit all entries.
---

Strange... the "User Define Dialog" "User Language" drop down box
has only one entry: "User Define Language". There is nothing else, no
"ConTeXt" entry.

Has this feature changed since Npp 4.2 ?

There are different levels of folding, 0--8: Alt-0, Alt-1, .... Alt-8.  
Alt-0 collapses all, use Alt-Shift-<n> to uncollapse to the desired degree.

Should make absolutely no difference, since TeX looks for a blank line to  
mark paragraph breaks -- or a '\par' -- and does not care about linebreak  
conventions

OTOH: Maybe support will be added for unicode parsep at some point...

> * Encoding: UTF 8, UTF 8 with BOM -> what must be selected for ConTeXt ?

Either will work for mkiv. If you enable the utf-8 regime in mkii that  
should also work.

Either will work fine, since luatex always assumes utf-8 input. My own Npp  
setup defaults to utf-8 (with BOM) for new docs.

I somehow thought this operation would replace C:\Program\Notepad++ ...
which isn't.
Hey, I learned something new about how Windows works.  :O)

Missed that one. Must have been speeding (reading).


> Thanks for the comments and


You're welcome.

Two other questions, if I may...

(1) The folding feature behaves strangely.

- Instead of folding it collapses everything what's underneath.

- Once a folding section gets initiated from within the ConTeXt setup area (
at a \startsomething command ), it runs straight down to \stoptext instead
of from every \startsomething to \stopsomething

(2) Preferences -> "New Document" tab

* Format: Windows - Unix - Mac -> are (*.tex) files between these OSs
incompatible ?

* Encoding: UTF 8, UTF 8 with BOM -> what must be selected for ConTeXt ?

Looks like great editor nevertheless, much better than SciTE. Thanks again
for the ConTeXt package.

Best,
Alan

2) drag Notepad++ to Program Files, it'll prompt you to merge/override the
files, select yes.  The same applies for the rest of the top level folders.

3) typing %APPDATA% into the explorer or run command takes you to the folder
you're looking for.


Maybe someone should make a screencast :)

Hi Idris,

(1) FYI, Application Data.zip also contains a 'Program Files' folder which
has the same contents as 'Program Files.zip'

From readme.txt :

(2) 9. Copy the directory Program Files\Notepad++ to Program Files

Shouldn't it be "copy the *contents* of these (sub)directories to their
corresponding
C:\Program Files\Notepad++ (sub)directories" ?

(3) 10. Copy the directory Application Data\Notepad++ to Application Data.

To Windows XP's C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data ?

Best,

Because that's the default and I don't try to run tex files from the  
either Notepad++ directory. This is mainly a warning for the uninitiated,  
I learned the hard way ;-)

Presumably someone good at registry trickery, recompiling the source etc  
could rename that one too. Again, just providing info for those who can  
use it. I use the default.

Thanks Mohamed.

>From the attached readme.txt :

---
1. From the installer, you MAY not want to use the default destination
folder, 'Notepad++'.
texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in
them. So you could
change it to, eg, 'Notepadpp'. So if you plan on linking the ConTeXt
utilities with the notepad
installation directory somehow then you may want to change its name.
However, in the following I assume that the directory name remains
'Notepad++'
2. You may also want to check the installation option, "Don't use
%APPDATA%".
Then all your configuration settings will be save in the installation

However, in what follows I assume that all configuration files

Holy bananas, that's confusing...

If "texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in
them" why would one nevertheless "assume that the directory name remains
'Notepad++' " ?

And, "even if you rename the installation directory, the name of the local
user application directory will still be 'Notepad++" why would one choose to
"not to use the default destination folder, 'Notepad++'." .. and "change it
to, eg, 'Notepadpp' " ?

Seems like Idris forgot to include the readme, incase it hasn't been 
attached check out the 1 November 2007 rev from 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip your sure to find it 
there.

Put everything in ConTeXt.zip in the same folder you extracted 
mswincontext.zip (182 mb) then run NPP.bat. Make sure you adjust 
acrobat.lnk appriopriately as the path is hard-coded.

And what OS are you using?

Instructions for Setting up ConTeXt with Notepad++
November 1 2007
ConTeXt Support Package for Notepad++.

This package is for Notepad 4.5, released October 25 2007. The file config.xml in particular may
not work with other versions, especially if you start it with the batch file. If you already have Npp, please update to 4.5.

Lots of small improvements. One nice feature is that from any text 
selection (such as a control sequence) you may do a ConTeXt Wiki search 
from the RUN menu or ALT-F3. In addition there is Google and Wikipedia 
search. Also, I have included the wonderful Explorer plugin.

This package is offered as is, with no promise of support.

Instructions:

1. From the installer, you MAY not want to use the default destination folder, 'Notepad++'.
texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in them. So you could
change it to, eg, 'Notepadpp'. So if you plan on linking the ConTeXt utilities with the notepad
installation directory somehow then you may want to change its name.

However, in the following I assume that the directory name remains 'Notepad++' 

2. You may also want to check the installation option, "Don't use %APPDATA%".
Then all your configuration settings will be save in the installation directory. This is because, even
if you rename the installation directory, the name of the local user application directory will still
be 'Notepad++'.

However, in what follows I assume that all configuration files
are saved in \<username>\Application Data\Notepad++.

3. You may want to install a few plugins. The installer will give you a list of plugins you can
select. Go to the following links for details:

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/plugins-HOWTO.php

The Explorer and NppExec plugins are among my favorites, and I have configured them for ConTeXt.

In the following I assume that you have also installed the Explorer and NppExec plugins. The Explorer plugin is not included in the installer so
I have included it in this package.

4. Notepad++ should already be in your path. If not, add C:\Program Files\Notepad++ to your system path
in System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > PATH.

5. In System Properties add make LNK files executable. Go to
System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > PATHEXT. Click on Edit
and add ".LNK;"

6. Now log out and log back in (to activate the environment variables).

7. Make sure Notepad++ is closed.

8. There are three zips within the package:

Application Data.zip
ConTeXt.zip
Program Files.zip

9. Copy the directory Program Files\Notepad++ to Program Files.

10. Copy the directory Application Data\Notepad++ to Application Data.

11. Copy the contents of the directory ConTeXt to your ConTeXt tree.

12. For processing ConTeXt files, always use the batch file npp.bat to open Notepad++. npp.bat is
based on cscite.bat. You can change the icon for the batch file by going to the file properties of
npp.bat, Change Icon, and point it to  Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe. I put a shortcut to
npp.exe in the taskbar for easy access.

13.  A note: In Preferences,  always leave the option "Remember the last operation directory"
unchecked. 

14. Edit batch files in the ConTeXt directory to suit your needs. Please forward any major
improvements!

Have fun!

===================================
Message to ConTeXt mailing list, 12 Aug 2007:
==============
Some background:

I come from the WinEdt world originally. However WinEdt, while a fantastic TeX editor (perhaps the best), has a couple of problems:

a) Geared towards LaTeX;
b) No utf-8 support present or immediately planned (at least when I was using it);
c) No Right-to-left support present or immediately planned (at least when I was using it);

a) is not really a problem; one could easily configure WinEdt to be ConTeXt editor, but b) and c) were showstoppers.

Scite is nice, but seems to me to be a real regression when compared to WinEdt's features. 

Finally I came across Notepad++, hereafter called Npp (actually it was Hans who told me about it first). This is one amazing text editor. Like Scite, it is based on Scintilla. It is a programmer's editor, but for a non-programmer user like myself it is amazingly easy to configure. Like scite, it has utf-8 support. It also has global utf-8 support (as opposed to local utf-8 support which scintilla does not support).

Npp is just loaded with features. It supports plugins, and some of the available plugins are now indispensable to me.

For ConTeXt, I have implemented

1) Syntax highlighting. There are six kinds:

a) \start-stops
b) TeX primitives
c) setups
d) comments
e) sectioning
f) general ConTeXt commands
g) operator arguments
h) numbers

2) Folding

a) Since discovering folding, my efficiency in writing long documents has really increased. All \start-stops are foldable, and you can easily add your own in the User-Defined-Language dialog; just select "ConTeXt" and you can edit all entries.

Fellow gangster Wolfgang Schuster has provided a small module, t-startstops, which converts section headings like
\chapter into \startchapter-\stopchapter, etc. You can add more. Look at the files t-startstop.tex and startstop.tex.

NOTE: Hans will eventually implement official support for startstops, and the syntax will in all likelihood be different than the one used here (\startpart[title=,ref=]).

3) Auto completion. There is a notepad++ api file context.api, which has a list of perhaps all english ConTeXt commands. From the scite properties files you can find more keyword for your your own language and roll your own version. The nice thing is that Npp has a sorting utility so you can easily add your keywords and alphabetically sort them into your own api list.

4) ConTeXt utilities. 

a) The Run menu mimics the one in Hans's distribution of Scite, and mostly uses the same shortcuts. You can add more by pressing F5 and saving your command, which will allow you to define a shortcut.

I deleted a few utilities that come with the default Npp setup but which did not seem relevant to context. If you want them back just look at the original shortcuts.xml file and copy the ones you want.

A few nice tricks are there. For example, 

\input file.tex

After selecting "file.tex" you can run "open file" and Npp will open file.tex for you. From selected text, you can also do a Google search , wiki search. Perhaps we could add a ConTeXt wiki search.... next version perhaps.

b) Npp comes with a Console plugin, NppExec, which allows you to run scripts. Most of the Run commands have been implemented as scripts in NppExec. Here you can play around with the commands, test different options etc.

5. Integrated Explorer plugin. This is one of favorite tools. I have just added some tex-related filters

Both NppExec and the Explorer are dockable. They can also be docked into one another outside of the main editor, separately outside, or separately inside. You'll have lots of fun with these two.

6. Color. I have implemented a color theme that is easier on the eyes than the default pure white background. It makes use of four shades of DADADA. For non-TeX languages you may need to tweak the settings a bit in Settings > Styler Configurator.

7. I have removed most of the languages from the Language menu, but you can bring back any language you need from 
Settings > Preferences > Language Menu.

8) The Shortcut Mapper has been slightly changed: Ctrl-Shift-Z does undo now. shortcut.xml controls this.

9) Added four functions to the context menu (right-click that is): 

Split lines, 
Join Lines, 
Text Direction RTL
Text Direction LTR

=========================
Nearly everything above is easily configurable. I could not implement support for non-startstop folding with sectioning like \chapter etc. because that would mean compiling the scintilla lexer, something I'm not interested in doing. If anyone knows how to do lexer programming and is interested, feel free;-)
=========================

This package depends on Npp 4.2, so if you already have Npp then upgrade to the latest version.

The documentation.bat file is based on code from Adrian Drury. Eventually it may be replaced with the mtxrun utility.

I offer the package to the community but I am no OS guru so I cannot promise any support. OTOH please do make suggestions for improvement. 

Finally, I need a volunteer to post this on the wiki and to update the Text Editor page.

Enjoy!

One question though...

I installed Npp, downloaded the context support package for Npp and
extracted the zip file.

What/where are the setup instructions please ?

Hmm, try making .LNK files executable in Control Panel, System, Advanced,  
Environment Variables.

The reason I use acrobat.lnk is because it does not rezize my acrobat  
window the way texexec's autopdf option does. I want my Acrobat window to  
be positioned in the same place and size whenever I open it.

Or maybe Vista64 has a different way of handling symlinks.

Go to Plugins>NppExec>Advanced Options, left side. Then you can add the  
scripts to the menu. I discovered this myself just now ;-)

I guess you then use the shortcut mapper to give shortcuts to the new menu  
items.

I'll try to find some time to do this and post an updated package sometime  
soon... Then the Run menu items for ConTeXt will be deprecated or removed.

Best wishes
Idris

Idris, thanks alot!  Also what OS do you happen to be using?

On my Vista 64bit box I had trouble running the default "Process ConTeXt file
(pdf)" command, the document compiles fine but fails on opening adobe reader;

TeXExec | runtime: 3.646
<<< Process finished.
acrobat.bat && pdfopen --file "C:\context\test.pdf"
CreateProcess() failed
================ READY ================

Change;

acrobat.bat 
pdfopen --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
pdfclose --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
texmfstart texexec "$(NAME_PART).tex" 
acrobat.bat && pdfopen --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf" 

To;

cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
acrobat.bat 
pdfopen --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
pdfclose --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
texmfstart texexec "$(NAME_PART).tex" 
acrobat.bat
pdfopen --file "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf" 


Now Adobe should open, depsite the error message;

acrobat.bat
CreateProcess() failed
pdfopen --file "C:\context\test.pdf"
Process started >>>
<<< Process finished.
================ READY ================


If anyone knows how to assign to shortcuts to the NppExec scripts, please, do
post them.

ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 5.0.3

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد]

Dear gang,

I have uploaded the latest version of the ConTeXt support package for  
Notepad++.

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip

It has been updated to 5.0.3, the latest stable version. The main  
difference in the package is the new autocompletion file format. See  
context.xml. I have also included the Explorer plugin and the latest  
NppExec plugin (2.4) -- the NppExec that comes with 5.0.3 is just slightly  
out of date (2.4 RC1).

Npp now supports calltips. I was thinking of adding them to context.xml  
but it would be very time-consuming. Basically, when typing a context  
command you would get a little window giving you some info about that  
command if you want it. I may make some suggestions to the Npp team to  
make this feature more useful.

Anyway, Npp keeps getting better and better. It recently won the  
SourceForge's Community Choice Awards for Best Tool or Utility for  
Developers:

http://ostatic.com/169634-blog/sourceforges-community-choice-awards-winners-named

There are just a few more things Npp could use to make this a near-perfect  
ConTeXt editor, I'll bug the developers soon...

Npp can now use external lexers. Eventually I would like to translate the  
ConTeXt syntax setup to a lexer so we can add a bit more flexibility.  
Lexer development is way beyond my skills at the moment but if anyone is  
interested in contributing to this I'd be happy for the help.

F7 will repeat the last script executed by F6. So it behaves differently  
than F7 in Hans' Scite setup (Build). I use NppExec instead of Run anyway.  
In the next version, I may deprecate the Run menu commands and attach the  
shortcuts to the NppExec scripts; I think there is even a way to then may  
a menu of these NppExec shortcuts. This will allow for easier tweaking and  
experimenting by users, and also updating when Hans changes things ;-)

The startstop module is still included, though Hans has just added support  
for footnote etc environments so that part of the module can be commented  
out. For mkiv a new sectioning mechanism is on the way, and mkii users can  
still use Wolfgang's module. See startstop.tex.

The original instructions are here:

http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070813.050137.7a5796f0.en.html

Enjoy!

Best wishes
Idris
