[protext] context in texniccenter installed with protext-cd

[Liesbeth van der Plas]

*How do I run a ConTEXt file in TEXnicCenter (installed with the
protext-cd)? *



After the installation of MiKTEX, TEXnicCenter, Ghostscript and GSview with
the Protext-cd I succeeded in running a LaTex-file.



How to run a ConTEXt –file? I found Steve Peter's article:
http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/peter/peter.pdf
and followed his instructions:

• Go to the BUILD menu and select DEFINE OUTPUT PROFILES

• On the left, click the Add button, and give the newprofile a name, such as
"ConTeXt

=> PDF"

• Check the box that says "Run (La)TeX in this profile", and give the path,
not to

LATEX, but to texexec or texmfstart. (This will depend on your distribution.
For

MikTEX, look in C:\texmf\miktex\bin\.)

• For the command-line arguments, you can add any switches you use for
texexec

or texmfstart, such as --pdf. Use the arrow button to the right of the text
box to

select a placeholder for the file (for example %pm will pass the entire path
of the file,

along with the extension).

Now, you can select your new profile from the popup menu to the left of the
build

button. Click the button (or hit Ctrl+F7) and away you go!


   1. First of all, do I use ..\*bin\texmfstart.exe *or*..bin\texexec.exe
   *in my new Output Profile?

   I tried both.

   2. command-line arguments

I tried:
  --nonstop  --interface=nl --pdf   "%nm"


  --nonstop  --interface=nl --pdf   "%bm"



  --nonstop  --interface=nl --pdf   "%pm"

  and more..

**

Nothing works. No pdf or other file is produced and the Output Profile
contains the following single line:


*Latex result:
 0 Error(s), 0 Waring(s), 0 Bad Box(es), 0 Page(s)
