TeXworks
Revision as of 14:46, 20 November 2012 by Esteis (talk | contribs) (moved Setting up TeXworks to TeXworks)
As of early 2011, TeXworks does not come with support for running ConTeXt using LuaTeX.
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
Selecting Edit / Preferences... from the menu will bring up the preference dialog for TeXworks. The Typesetting tab lets you add additional options.
At the bottom right of the Typesetting tab list of processing tools is the + button to add a new entry. Name the new entry LuaConTeXt. For Program, use texmfstart
as for the other entries. Then, add the following arguments one at a time, and make sure they are in the specified order:
texexec --lua $fullname
You can then select LuaConTeXt to run ConTeXt using LuaTeX.
