Hi Patrick, Occasionally, while browsing sources at source.contextgarden.net, I feel the need of seeing the pdf copy of that file. I wonder how difficult will it be to add a link, say "View pdf" with each file listing, so that if I click that link, I see the output of texexec --module filename.tex I do not know if the perl scripts support this. From what I remember, in perl texutil kept care of generate module listing. Maybe, the pdf files can be cached (no idea how) so that they are not regenerated, or maybe they can be autogenerated each time the source files are updated. Do not spend too much time on this, I can always do it on my own machine :-) Aditya

texutil functionality has been split over ctxtools., rlstools, tmftools, textools, whatevertools and texexec; this particular feature in in ctxtools

Well, from what is available now, it is still a very big step. But I'll write this feature request down and when I've got too much time.... Until then, please generate those by yourself (but now I start thinking on it, I could generate the files with a script and just create this link ... just thinking aloud). OK, its a nice idea and it shouldn't be too hard. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

I was playing around with a script, some observations. Some Context files do not compile, I will make a list of them and see how they can be corrected. The new mkii and mkiv means that the script needs to be more intelligent than a simple for FILE in *.* do texmfstart texexec --module $FILE ; done; If the file ends in mkii, you need to add --result $FILE-mkii.pdf (or something like that) Wasn't there a project somewhere with the compiled pdf of all sources?

Yes. I noticed that Luigi also has a file for making the sources. I always wondered what was the purpose of s-mod-2.tex and this document explains it. I will work with this and see if this document can be kept up to date. Aditya
