ctxtools

CTXTOOLS(1)							      ConTeXt							       CTXTOOLS(1)

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 search-
	      ing).  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.
