Re: Ctx: list of commands

["Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o." <LPr@pontex.cz>]

... Maybe I found something useful (initially I could not remember where and what to look for, but - )

c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\mtx-interface.lua

There is:

----
...
local helpinfo = [[
...
--textpad             generate textpad interface files
--text                create text files for commands and environments
...
]]
----

So I'll check it.

I'd like to renew my TextPad syntax highlighting file for ConTeXt; or better to try to renew it as there were some Ctx commands missing in the (last) Ctx-generated syntax file and I had to add commands manually in it.

So if the list of commands is "more complete" or "really complete", I'd like to use it.

Best regards,

Lukas
