I remember that Hans claimed that texmfstart (or texexec) could be convinced to process LaTeX documents (and there is some mention of latex command in core indeed), but I never managed to make it work.
LaTeX has worked only in the very beginning, when I was still using latex somewhat regularly, and afaik I was the only tester of that code (Btw, that means texexec dates back to at least the year 2000).
i can probably extend texexec easily to do the multipass latex thing (just as i support plain tex) but it has a low priority (useless to make something that no one will use or only one or two users)
About mptopdf: something is definately wrong there, and it really should be fixed. It is totally pointless when mptopdf processes only context-based files properly, since these are the only ones that do not _need_ mptopdf in the first place.
i remember fixing something because a latex user asked for it but usually don't test that (samep for supp-pdf), so if i get solutions i can put them in (i need to rewrite the thing anyway) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
