mkii The MkII way was
make mkii capitalization even more consistent
= Command line =
You start Mark IV with the '''context''' command, and Mark II with '''texexec'''. The two programs are not the same, and even though they have mostly the same command line, there are some differences. Mostly, this is because '''context''' is still lacking a number of options of texexec like for example --passon (those will probably be implemented at some point in the future), but it also parses the command line differentdifferently. You must remember to always give the full name of the options, and then the effects should be almost unnoticeable.
= Parameter processing =
= Fonts and Typescripts =
Typescripts in Mark IV never specify any encoding at all (Unicode is mandatory).
= Metapost =
# You have to make sure that you do not re-state equations that were already solved in a previous graphic.
These are in fact the exact same rules that you have to adhere to in mkii MkII if <cmd>runMPgraphicsfalse</cmd> is active.
Another difference is the way text is handled in mkivMkIV. In particular, color (<code>withcolor</code>)
is not applied to metapost text. For example,
</texcode>
currently does <b>not</b> work in mkivMkIV. However,
<texcode>
</texcode>
does work. This second solution works both in mkiv MkIV and in mkiiMkII.
(Note that <code>\color[red]</code> can be abbreviated <code>\red</code>.)
= Images =
The official way of placing image in in mkivMkIV:
<texcode>
\placefigure[middle,none]{}{...}
</texcode>
<texcode>
\placefigure[middle]{none}{...}
= Logos =
The logo commands (<cmd>definelogo</cmd> c.s.) do not exist in mkivMkIV; use layers instead.
= Itemizations =
= Nomarking/Select =
<cmd>nomarking</cmd> is currently broken and will likely be removed from mkivMkIV; use <cmd>select</cmd> instead:
<texcode>
