Dear all, I'm writing presentations with large image files.
Do you have images in PDF or in some other format? Including PDF is much faster than including bitmap images.
Sometimes I make minor changes (e.g. typos).
Is there a way not to recompile all but only some pages after I made my changes?
If you mean "can I recompile only page 3 and 4 out of my 100-page book and get the whole document" that answer is no I think. But there are other ways.
In presentations I only have separate pages (no index, numebr of pages, etc)
In such cases I usually split files and include them in a "master file", so that I can quickly and easily comment things out. \starttext \input chapter-one \input chapter-two \stoptext A more fancy way is to use projects/envionments/products/components. You can then compile separate chapters or all chapters at once without the need to change a single line in the source. They're described at the beginning of cont-eni.pdf. I wanted to ask something about projects/products in a new thread (I didn't notice how great they are until some days ago), but since I'm already talking about them here: Data about chapters, sections, references, ... are written into an auxilary file and have to be processed first before references, indexes, TOCs can work properly anyway: would it be possible to have an option not to process the auxilary files of single products but those of the master document (ie. of project) when compiling single products, so that cross-referencing, section numbering, ... would remain the same as if the whole project was processed together? Thanks, Mojca
