Modules There are extensions to not as many modules for ConTeXt's as packages for LaTeX, because ConTeXt’s core functionsalready contains a lot that needs a package in LaTeX.

==Installation== ===Basics===

but their existence depends on the TeX distribution; among these, texmf-local is the most common. ==Installation by hand== When you want to install a new single-file module, createthe subdirectories in the way described above and place the file there.

When you want to install a new module which is available as file only createAfter the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file therefiles are installed, formodules which are available as zip files with precreated subdorectories youmust update ConTeXt’s database to let it know where it can unzip the archive in find the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/) and allfiles are on the correct place.:

mktexlsr (command name depends on the TeX distributionConTeXt doesn’t use `ls-R` files or `kpsewhich` any more.)

==Installation by script (LMTX)== Since 2023-05, there’s a script for `mtxrun` to list and install modules, usually from https://modules.contextgarden.net. Some modules, get special treatment: For the [[TikZ]] modules files are downloaded from CTAN and patches for MkIV withincompatibilities are applied. First, `cd` into the `tex` directory of your ConTeXt LMTX installation (above the texmf-* trees), the modules installer works only there.   mtxrun --script install-modules --list For the installation to work, you must change into the `tex` directory that contains the `texmf-*` trees.  mtxrun --script install-modules --install filter simpleslides If you list single modules to install, leave out the prefix (t-* or whatever)! But since there aren’t many, you can just install all modules:  mtxrun --script install-modules --install --all Previously, the ConTeXt LMTX distribution did not provide a built-in way to install or update modules. Here’s a method using `rsync`, to be run from the toplevel directory of the ConTeXt LMTX distribution, i.e. the directory that contains <tt>install.sh</tt>. Because the final <tt>tex/texmf-modules</tt> must contain the union of all individual module directories, the commands create and leave an intermediate <tt>modules</tt> directory that wastes less than 50 MB.  # Synchronize all modules from ConTeXt Garden in the 'modules' directory, which is created if it doesn’t exist. rsync --recursive --links --times --info=progress2,remove,symsafe,flist,del --human-readable --del rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/ modules # Create the union of all modules in tex/texmf-modules (the directory is created if it doesn’t exist). # If you have personal modules in tex/texmf-modules, they won’t be modified. mkdir -p tex rsync -rlt --exclude=/VERSION --del modules/*/ tex/texmf-modules # You may delete the 'modules' directory to reclaim some space or keep it to speed up the next update. # rm -rf modules # Update the ConTeXt file database. mtxrun --generate

===ConTeXt standalone=Installation by script (MkIV) ==

Users of the ConTeXt MkIV standalone (formerly "minimals") distribution don't have to download the module files and unzipthem in the local directory, because they can use the <tt>first-setup</tt> script for this.to install modules:

To E.g. to install for example the simpleslides modules you write:

To install more modules at the same time write:

The complete list of availables modules in standalone is: * t-urwgaramond* t-account* t-algorithmic* t-animation* t-annotation* t-bnf* t-chromato* t-cmscbf* t-cmttbf* t-construction-plan* t-degrade* t-fancybreak* t-fixme* t-french* t-fullpage* t-games* t-gantt* t-gnuplot* t-layout* t-letter* t-lettrine* t-lilypond* t-mathsets* t-pgfplots* t-ruby* t-simplefonts* t-simpleslides* t-typearea* t-typescripts* t-urwgaramond* t-urwgothic* t-vim ===TeX Live===

==Usage==

* m-modulaname modulename (core module)

* t-modulename (Third "third party " contributed module)

Once a file is found , ConTeXt stops the search and loads the found file (only once).

When you have two file files with the same name but different prefixes , you can tell ConTeXt which file it should load with

==Modules Module writing guidelines==

'''Please don’t publish font support modules any more!''' They’re usually unnecessary. Instead publish [[Typescripts_examples|typescripts]] in the wiki instead. ==Module requirements== While a module usually consists of one main file with a name like <tt>t-modulename.[tex|ctx|mkiv|mkxl]</tt>, there can be many more files, and there should be some documentation. Please adhere to the filename conventions outlined in [#Usage]. Sort these files into folders according to TDS (TeX directory structure) – just have a look at the distribution to understand what goes where. * Module code and data files go into tex/context/third/modulename* Documentation files go into doc/context/third/modulename* You can also look at properly setup git repositories like that of [https://codeberg.org/fiee/context-simpleslides the simpleslides module]. === Module release file === * A release file is a ZIP archive that contains the necessary files in a TDS compliant structure.* The filename should be <code>t-modulename-version.zip</code>, where the version is usually a date like <tt>YYYY.MM.DD</tt> (but that’s up to you).* On the top level there must be a VERSION file that only contains your version string.* On the top level there should be a README(|.md|.txt) file with some metadata like a short description and author info.* On the top level there can be a LICENSE file containing the text of an open source license of your choice, if the license is not included in the README.* On the top level there must NOT be a folder with the module name, but only TDS folders like "doc" and "tex". The same applies for git/SVN repositories containing ConTeXt modules. VERSION and README files are important for publication on [https://ctan.org CTAN]. README is also displayed on git platforms like GitHub or Codeberg and should contain basic documentation. All top level files are ignored by the LMTX module installer. Instead of zip files, also tar.gz archives are possible, but the installer script can only handle zip – libzip is a necessary part of Lua(Meta)TeX, while other archive formats are not. ===Module requirementsmain file === All modules module files should start with a block containing ''meta information'' about that module.There is a [[module Module template]] available to help setting up that header correctly. === License ===

In order to avoid ''conflicting macros'' it is essential for a module that it adhere adheres

===XML Interface file=== 

arguments that a macro accepted by macros defined in the module accepts. 

as are for instance the [http://pragma-ade.comnl/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf ConTeXt Quick Reference]

By default, this places a frame around the setup. If you want to get gray background, as in the context ConTeXt documentation, add the followinga setup like:

===Legacy modules disclaimer===<!-- This info is obsolete, the section could be kicked outAs an module author, doesn’t it? -->Prior makes sense to subscribe to release ''2005the [https://mailman.05ntg.25'', ConTeXt silently truncated all file names in <cmd>usemodule<nl/mailman3/lists/cmd> commands to 8 characters long and lowercased them to "prevent cross platform problems with filenames"dev-context.ntg. Thus, module files that are to be used with older versions of ConTeXt must have filenames that fit those restrictions, or they will (somewhat cryptically) not be foundnl/ developers mailing list].
