2007/7/11, w.neimeijer@hccnet.nl :

I am experimenting with the various texexec command line options, but it is a bit confusing.

I want to minimize the number of runs and suppress as much of the messages as possible.

I tried (windows standalone context) :

1) texmfstart --pdf --runs=1 --silentmode texfile.tex

texmfstart --once --silentmode texfile.tex PDF output is default since 2006(?) Wolfgang

This still gave 3 runs with all the Context messages displayed.

After a bit of experimenting it turns out that I have to use

2) texmfstart --pdf texfile.tex --runs=1 --silentmode

It works, but I am not sure what the correct way is for the other options. The manual mtexexec.pdf (a bit outdated) says I have to use method 1). Also the Wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXExec suggest method 1). Running texexec --help --all does not mention the order in which these parameters should be specified.

TIA
