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.
