== 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.
* Check "Run (La)TeX in this profile".
* Under "Path to the (La)TeX compiler" enter:
C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat & C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\texmfstart <br>
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:<br>
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 toolbar icon.
=== With Adobe Acrobat Reader ===
* For installing Acrobat Reader as your viewer again select: Build -> Define Output Profiles.
* Select the tab "Viewer".
* 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:
texexec.rb --batch --nonstop --pdf --interface=en --color "%bm" --synctex=-1
* In the Viewer tab enter in the field for the executable path
"C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance <br> -inverse-search "\"C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\TEXCNTR.EXE\" /ddecmd \"[goto('%f', '%l')]\""
* Under 'View Project's output':
select DDE-command
Command: [Open("%bm.pdf",0,1,1)]
Server: SUMATRA
Topic: control
* Under 'Forward search':
Select option 'DDE command'
Command: [ForwardSearch("%bm.pdf","%Wc",%l,0,0,0)]
Server: SUMATRA
Topic: control
* Under 'Close document before running (La)TeX':
Select 'Do not close'
=== Cleaning up ===
Automatically deleting unnecessary auxiliary files after compilation is realised as follows:
* Select: Build -> Define Output Profiles.
* Create a new item "cleanup" by clicking on the first icon after the text "Postprocessors to run after the (La)TeX-compiler".
* In the edit line after "Executable" enter:<br>
C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat & C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\texmfstart.exe<br>And in the edit line after "Arguments" enter:<br> texutil.rb --purgeall.<br>
If you have another root, then change C:\ConTeXt accordingly.
