On Linux (and on MS Windows with MSYS and MinGW), T2C can be set up as follows.

1. Unpack the archive with T2C distribution (<version> is the version of T2C, like 2.0.0_final):

   tar xfj t2c-<version>.tar.bz2
   

   and change current directory to t2c-<version>

2. Configure the package:

   ./configure
   

   By default, the package will be configured to install T2C to /usr/local/. If you want to install T2C to some other location (t2c_install_directory), configure the package as follows:

   ./configure --prefix <t2c_install_directory>
   

3. If configuration process has completed successfully, you can now build T2C:

   make
   

   and then install it with

   make install
   

   You may need to execute the last command as root user if your current user does not have appropriate permissions on the installation directory.

1. Download appropriate KompoZer distribution for your operating system from http://kompozer.net.

   For Linux, it is usually a .tar.gz archive. For some Linux distros, RPM packages are also available.

   Important

   Please note: the authors of KompoZer warned that KompoZer 0.7.x may crash on Linux with GTK+ 2.14 or newer, that is, on many modern Linux distributions. You should use KompoZer 0.8.x or newer there instead.

2. Unpack the archive to the directory you want KompoZer to be installed to. After that, you can find kompozer script in kompozer/ subdirectory of that directory. Now you can execute that script to launch KompoZer.

3. When ReqMarkup plugin is installed, among other things, it adds several buttons to the toolbar in KompoZer window. The toolbar is sometimes not wide enough to provide space for all necessary buttons, so it can be helpful to remove some buttons and/or separators from there.

   You can customize the set of buttons placed on the toolbar and adjust their position by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting “Customize toolbar”. Then you can, for example, remove the buttons you do not need from the toolbar.

1. Download ReqMarkup plugin for KompoZer from http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/Req_Markup_Releases.

   The archive (reqmarkup-<version>.tgz, for example reqmarkup-1.0.1b4.tgz) contains two main components:

   • the plugin itself: reqmarkup-<version>.xpi;

   • reqtools.js (see reqtools_for_browser/ subdirectory) – this script provides a set of utilities helpful when viewing the documentation with marked up requirements in a web browser (works with Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer, may not work in other browsers though).

2. Install ReqMarkup plugin. To do this, start KompoZer, select “Tools”, “Add-ons” in the main menu. Ensure that “Extensions” is selected, press “Install…”, select reqmarkup-<version>.xpi in the appeared dialog and press “Open”. KompoZer may complain that the extension is unsigned, that is OK for now. Press “Install now” button when it is finally enabled (usually in 2 or 3 seconds). You will be asked to restart KompoZer to complete the installation process.

3. After KompoZer is restarted, please check if the following buttons have appeared on its toolbar: “Assign REQ…”, “Show Template”, “Highlight REQ”, “Remove Markup”, “Catalogue of Reqs”, “Defines”.

If you would like to use Ctrl+R for “Assign REQ” command anyway, you could do the following.

1. Find comm.jar file in kompozer/chrome/ subdirectory. It is in fact a zip archive. Unpack it to some temporary location, say, ~/temp.

2. Open ~/temp/content/editor/editor.xul in a text editor. Find the following text (the number of spaces between its parts may differ):

   <key id="revertkb"            key="&filerevert.keybinding;" 
       observes="cmd_revert"     modifiers="accel"/>
   

3. Replace modifiers="accel" with modifiers="accel,shift" (thus “Revert” command will be assigned Shift+Ctrl+R shortcut key)

4. Replace editor.xul in the archive with this modified version. Replace the original comm.jar with the repacked archive.

5. Now that Ctrl+R is not assigned by KompoZer itself, ReqMarkup will automatically associate “Assign REQ” command with it.
