[***SPAM***] Continuous preview

[***SPAM***] Continuous preview

["H. Özoguz"]

For LaTex there exists a tool, named "latexmk", which allows a "preview 
continuous mode", that is to update the compiled pdf automatically. It 
is really very helpful!

Because it is open-source: It is possible to addapt this tool for 
context, too? Maybe one of the programmers have time for this ... :)

I don't know latexmk, but updating the pdf is a feature of the pdf
reader, not of context. If you want to re-run the compilation when
the file has changed, you can use the mechanisms your operating
system provides. Every OS has a mechanism to watch files. Here is a
Linux example

  while true do
    inotifywait --event modify somefile.tex; context --batchmode somefile.tex
  done

Better:

  file='somefile.tex'
  while inotifywait --event modify "$file"; do
    context --batchmode "$file"
  done

When using the "evince" PDF reader on Linux, reloading the PDF is as simple
as:

  context filename.tex -- Generate for the first time
  evince filename.pdf  & -- Open the reader in the background

  context filename.tex -- The evince process automatically refreshes with
new content

Same here with 'okular' (it can be configured: so one can decide to not 
refresh on file change).

Re: continuous preview (in TeXstudio)

Hello,

 

In Windows (XP) one can use TeXstudio, the viewer's outputscreen is
automatically refreshed with each compilation. (B.t.w. TeXnicCentre is nowadays
not anymore preferred.)

 

In TeXstudio one can even make ConTeXt available by assigning a less used
shortcut (f.i. F10) to:

C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat & "C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\context"
-interface=nl %

Of course assumed that in the folder C:\context\..  the installation of ConTeXt
is available.

(setuptex.bat is provided by the installation.)

 

Greetings, from Ernst van der Storm (ConTeXt starter)

I use the perl program `atchange`[1] for continous preview. For simple 
documents, you can just run

    atchange filename.tex "context --batch filename"

For more complicated documents (depending on multiple files and figures), 
you can create a automate file (see [1] for description) and run

    atchange automate

If you use the editor texworks you can maintain two side by side
windows, one for editing and one for viewing.
