you can use the standard tex input readers (\read) as well as io.read when you're in lua Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

You can try context --pipe --result=/tmp/result.pdf but that only runs the document once, so cross referencings, TOC, etc won't work correctly. The other options is to write to a file, and then run "context --purgeall --result=/tmp/result.pdf filename"; this will run the document appropriate number of times, and then delete the temp files, leaving only the .tex and the .pdf file.

Thank you, I will try this! Alex On 08/06/2012 15:31, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
