By default, choosing the ConTeXt option from the drop-down executes

 texmfstart texexec <filename>

which executes ConTeXt using pdfTeX; the XeConTeXt option executes

 texmfstart texexec --xtx <filename>

which uses XeTeX.

Adding an option to use ConTeXt with LuaTeX

  • In the menu select Edit > Preferences...
  • Go to the Typesetting tab
  • On the Typesetting tab, the "+" button at the bottom right lets you add new compilation options.
  • To typeset with MkII and the LuaTeX engine:
    • Program: texmfstart
    • Parameters: texexec --lua $fullname
  • To typeset with MkIV (which always uses LuaTeX):
    • Program: mtxrun
    • Parameters: --script context --synctec $fullname

Mac hints

If you install ConTeXt in your Applications Folder, you have to create a new engine.

Go to your preferences inside TeXworks.

In Typesetting Menu, in Processing tools, add a new engine. In Name, type what you want. In Program : /Applications/ConText/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/texmfstart In Arguments :

*texexec as the first argument
*$fullname as the second argument
*$synctexoption as the third argument.
