steps have to be taken to get \fBtexexec\fP to work beyond installing
ruby and having the \fBruby\fP(1) binary in your path.
-.SH "ENCODINGS"
-.IP
-Some languages require specific character encodings to represent their
-alphabets (beyond the basic ASCII encoding). Although you can use TeX
-commands to represent these characters, such as ``\f(CW\e.z\fP'', it's
-easier to use a text editor that includes direct support for these
-characters and let ConTeXt translate them to the necessary TeX
-commands. For some languages, this approach can also improve the
-performance of TeX's hyphenation algorithms.
-.IP
-ConTeXt supports several of the most commonly used encodings.
-Check the files beginning with \fIenco-\fP, \fIlang-\fP, and
-\fIfont-\fP in the ConTeXt distribution for more information.
-.IP
-\fBweb2c\fP distributions (such as \fBteTeX\fP) support a mechanism to
-map document encodings to ConTeXt's internal encoding, font
-encodings, and hyphenation patterns. \fBtexexec\fP provides a document
-option and a command-line flag to pass the necessary information to
-\fBtex\fP(1) or \fBpdftex\fP(1). You can add lines such as
-.EX
-\f(CW%& --translate-file=cp1250pl\fP
-.EE
-
-or
-
-.EX
-\f(CW% --translate=cp1250pl\fP
-.EE
-
-to the beginning of your document, or you can specify the \fB--translate\fP
-flag on the command line, as
-.EX
-\f(CWtexexec --translate=il2pl somefile\fP
-.EE
-
-Using language-specific encodings will make your file less
-portable than using ASCII. It may then not be possible for other people to
-typeset your documents on their systems.
