Changes

The ConTeXt in TeX Live 2011 is [[Context 2011.05.18 | 2010.05.18]] with a few small changes. Both ConTeXt MkII and MkIV work out the box. The ''scheme-context'' installs ''collection-context'' and ''collection-metapost''. This brings in quite a few font families, but we did not want to automatically install all font packages, so you may need to install a few by hand with <tt>tlmgr</tt>. == Running MkII == The English interface for both pdftex and xetex is automatically managed by <tt>fmtutil</tt>. Just run $ texexec <myfile>to compile documents using pdfTeX, or $ texexec --engine=xetex <myfile>for XeTeX. === Enabling other MkII interfaces === You will need write permissions to TEXMFSYSVAR to enable the other context language interfaces. So if you cannotdo the following steps below, point your local administrator to this page and kindly ask him/her to run thecommands below for you. Adding extra context interfaces follows the same rules as for any other local format. The process is a little complicated because the normal <code>fmtutil.cnf</code> may be overwritten by package updates, and therefore a local file has not been released yetto be created. 1. Look for the commented cont-''XX'' lines in <code>fmtutil.cnf</code>. Use $ kpsewhich fmtutil.cnfto find its exact location. You only need the commented lines, there is no need to copy anything else. 2. Create or edit the file <code>$TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/fmtutil-local.cnf</code>. <code>$TEXMFLOCAL</code> is something like <code>/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local</code>, but you can fetch use $ kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFLOCAL'to find the exact location.  3. Put the commented cont-'XX' lines you found in step 1 into the <code>fmtutil-local.cnf</code> file. If you want xetex formats as well, make a copy of each line replacing <code>pdftex</code> with <code>xetex</code>. Then uncomment these lines, save the file, and exit the editor.  After this, the <code>$TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/fmtutil-local.cnf</code> (or the new section of it, if it frompreexisted) should look like this: cont-de pdftex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-de.ini cont-de xetex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-de.ini cont-fr pdftex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-fr.ini cont-fr xetex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-fr.ini cont-it pdftex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-it.ini cont-it xetex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-it.ini cont-nl pdftex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-nl.ini cont-nl xetex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-nl.ini cont-ro pdftex cont-usr.tex -8bit *cont-ro.ini cont-ro xetex cont-usr.tex -8bit * http:cont-ro.ini 4. If you created a new file, now run # mktexlsrto make sure the file will be found by the TeX Live system. 5. Now run # tlmgr generate fmtutilThis merges the info from the TeX Live distribution with the <code>fmtutil-local.cnf</code>. 6. Now to generate the newly enabled ConTeXt MkII formats, run # fmtutil-sys --allfrom now on, the extra formats will be auto-renewed whenever context updates are installed via <code>tlmgr</wwwcode>. == Running MkIV == Just run $ context <myfile>to compile documents.tug == MkIV cache location == Context MkIV in Standard TeX Live will create the data cache in <code>~/.orgtexlive2011/texmf-var</code>;Context MkIV in MacTex will use <code>~/Library/texlive/pretest2011/texmf-var</code>. If you are unhappy with that, you can set the environment variable <tt>TEXMFCACHE</tt> to your preferred location. == ConTeXt 2011.05.18 changes == * Because the copyright of the ''koeielogos'' and ''koeieletters'' fonts does not allow modifications, the relevant files are not included (this was also the case in previous years).* The files from [[cont-mpd.zip]] are in the package ''mptopdf''. The ''context'' package depends on ''mptopdf'', so installation is automatic.* The symbol fonts from Janusz Nowacki are in the package ''jmn''. The ''context'' package depends on ''jmn'', so installation is automatic.* Mojca and Taco applied a few hot-fixes for some quite serious bugs:** ...html
