Question: Does filter module work with ConTeXtLMTX and can it be used in Windows? #40

Hello Mr. Aditya, I would like to ask whether the "filter" module does work with (? newest) ConTeXtLMTX and if it does, how one can install it on Windows OS? There is already a guide on context garden here, but it assumes Linux OS (I guess, I dont have rsync command avaible on Windows10). Currently, I am learning ConTeXt with Standalone version from 2019, sometimes switching to TeXlive. So far, I have been using LaTeX with PythonTeX, but recently I am in need to also use xml data, for which ConTeXt would be better suited, but I also need functionalities similar to PythonTeX, for which your modules fits quite nicely. Thank you in advance for any help, regards Tomas

The filter module does work with LMTX and also works with Windows.

  1. If you are using context standalone, then you can install the module using first-setup.bat from context standalone. Use

    first-setup.bat --modules="t-filter"

  2. If you just want to install t-filter modules without using rsync, simply download the latest version of the module from module.contextgarden.net (there is a small download link at the bottom). Put the downloaded zip file in $TEXMFHOME (which should be C:\Users\<Your-Username>\texmf and unzip it there (make sure that it is unzipped at the top level of that folder and not in a sub-directory. Then you should be able to use the filter module.

Thank you very much for your help Mr. Aditya, after few attempts it works. Eventhough it is straightforward, for some reason I was getting errors about ConTeXt being unable to make format files, but another try today was successfull (also for other modules). Regards, Tomas
