HI ALL! This maybe discussed before. I ask anyway. I'm having a personal homeserver that is accessible anywhere with linux LAMP installed. Is there some way to install minimals and have a webpage with a function similar to context live but with mkiv support. If I'm sitting on a computer with no context installation, it would be nice to typeset my .tex files and receive a downloadable .pdf as a result. Also I want to have possibility to do an online conversion from other markups to context markup like "pandoc". I can do some shellscripting or php scripting if someone have some hints in that direction. Regards and many thanks in advance! /Janneman Jan-Erik Hägglöf Mandelstensvägen 53 703 74 ÖREBRO 073-957 57 40 019-25 08 69 janerik.hagglof@bredband.net

I have tentative plans to implement exactly this (including the pandoc part) as a module for the new Aiki web framework ( http://aikiframework.org ) Like many of my plans, they are currently on the backburner as I finish my masters thesis.

That's exactly we do here with a simple PHP script which parses a ConTeXt template and makes PDF :)

Have a look at PHP functions system(), exec() to execute an external program from PHP. -- http://vnoss.org
