Hello,

Is there some way that I can convert my context file into tex? I am just pondering how much faster running straight tex through pdftex would be than using context. Is there some way to run it through texexec and get tex out of it instead of a pdf/dvi? Or are there stats about this kind of thing somewhere that I can lookup?

Thanks, paul

You can load only the format files from context and it will run faster than the ruby and perl version. I can do this on my machine with \type{pdftex -fmt=cont-en myfile} but this produce dvi-files and you will never get a table of contents or any else index, because they are created with the ruby and perl scripts. What do you mean by creating a tex file, ConTeXt files are normally always tex-files or do you mean plain or low level TeX. Wolfgang
