infinite loop with a huge document

infinite loop with a huge document

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I’m afraid I have a huge document (combination of more than 80
individual documents) that triggers an infinite loop. All of them are
Markdown sources that I convert to HTML4 and compile with ConTeXt latest.

Individual documents compile fine, in about 3 or 4 runs. The single
document goes always for the maximum number of runs. There were 9 runs,
which is the default number. I set "--runs=30" and compilation ran
through 30 cycles. So I use now "--runs=5".

The document is huge and its compilation process is complex. Is there
any way in which I can investigate what triggers the compilation in
endless cycles for this document?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

context --help --expert

shows:

--keeptuc              keep previous tuc files (jobname-tuc-[run].tmp)

when using that you can compare the tuc files
