Dear list,
I'm sure you aware of the very useful "texdoc" command line utility in TeX live which brings up the PDF documentation for packages. ConTeXt standalone also comes with documentation in
/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/doc/context
However, I find it tedious to always search for the correct subfolder to get to the document I need. It would be great if there was something like
mtxrun --script doc metafun
which would open the MetaFun manual. Similarly "mtxrun --script doc gnuplot" would open the manual of the gnuplot module, etc.
this is one of these magic features that suddenly is available on your system mtxrun --launch metafun*.pdf mtxrun --launch cld-mkiv.pdf mtxrun --all --launch "*-mkiv.pdf" features like that have always been present in the context suite of programs (i bet even before texdoc) but it might be that i don't call the right thing on todays linux: local launchers={ windows="start %s", macosx="open %s", unix="$BROWSER %s &> /dev/null &", } there's also mtxrun --edit kpse:cld-mkiv.tex we can of course extend this feature with some listing but then i'd rather consult the descriptive files xml but i'm not sure if i distribute them yet
See attached for my shitty prototype.
Cheers, Henri
