== Adapting TeXnicCenter for processing ConTeXt documents ==
You can build and view a ConTeXt document in [http://www.toolscenter.org/ TeXnicCenter ] as follows:* Follow the instructions for [[Windows Installation|installing ConTeXt under Windows]].
* Make sure that ruby and perl are in your PATH ''(Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables; then edit PATH)''. In my system (root = C:\ConTeXt) the first items are: C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\ruby\bin; C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\ruby\lib; C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\perl\bin; C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\perl\lib
* Start TeXnicCenter. From the menu select : Build -> Define Output Profiles.
If you have another root, then change C:\ConTeXt accordingly.
* Under "Command line arguments to pass to the compiler" enter:
texexec.rb, the parameters and "%bm" for the file to be compiled.In my case this line reads as follows:<rbbr> texexec.rb --bat --nonstop --pdf --interface=nl --color "%bm"
Now your ConTeXt file should compile after selecting "Build -> Build" from the menu or pressing Ctrl+F7 or clicking on the corresponding menu toolbar icon.
=== With Adobe Acrobat Reader ===* For installing Acrobat Reader as your viewer again select : Build -> Define Output Profiles.
* Select the tab "Viewer".
* Under "Path of Executable" you enter the path to the program AcroRd32.exe
* Server is "acroview" and Topic: "control"
* Same choices for "Forward Search" and "Close document before running (La)TeX", except for the Command which in the latter case should be: [DocClose("%bm.pdf")]
=== With SumatraPDF ===
With SumatraPDF you get forward and inverse search capabilities. To enable them, you have to adjust the texexec arguments accordingly and add the "--synctex=-1" option:
