NAME¶
ctxtools - clean up temporary ConTeXt files, install latest ConTeXt
SYNOPSIS¶
ctxtools [
OPTION ... ]
DESCRIPTION¶
ctxtools is useful for dealing with ConTeXt source and generated files
and for installing new versions of ConTeXt.
OPTIONS¶
- --help
- Print the available options.
- --purgefiles
- Get rid of many temporary files generated by ConTeXt. You
can give the --all option to remove a larger fraction of those
files, and the --recurse option to remove these files also in
subdirectories.
- --contextversion
- Show the date of the ConTeXt macros and the format file.
Useful after upgrading ConTeXt (perhaps using --updatecontext) to
check whether the new formats and macros are visible to the TeX path
searches (see kpsewhich(1).
- --updatecontext
- Download the latest ConTeXt distribution and install it in
the TEXMFLOCAL tree (see kpsewhich(1) for information on TeX path
searching). TEXMFLOCAL usually points to a system-wide location. If you
want to install the new ConTeXt in your home directory (i.e. an install
for one user), then set the TEXMFLOCAL environment variable while running
ctxtools. For example, using the syntax of the Bourne shell
sh(1):
TEXMFLOCAL=$HOME/texmf ctxtools --updatecontext
- --documentation
- Generate a .ted file from the source file. See also
the --module option to texexec(1).
- --patternfiles [languagecode]
- Generate pattern files. You can also give the --all,
--xml, and --utf8 options.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- TEXMFLOCAL
- Used by --updatecontext to decide where to install the
distribution.
