Hi Taco,


I was just re-reding your release notes 2007.04.17. 
What do you mean by "... texexec (once again) support the handling of LaTeX files" ?

Does it mean I can "envelope" latex files/snippets in regular context files and then process?

Checking this, it didn't work, So I googled and found: 

Context 2005.07.27: map \end to \finalend (for t-latex module)

But (at least in the latest cont-tmf.zip) I could find a t-latex module...


What does this all mean?


Cheers,

Steffen

It means you can

   texexec mylatexfile

instead of

   latex mylatexfile

as this is sometimes needed for metapost labels.

The t-latex module is something completely different. Quite a
while back, Brooks Moses started work on a module to run latex
files on top of context, but that is not related to this texexec
feature at all.

I've used that module for a book I typeset that came as latex
source with >200 tabular tables that I did not want to convert.

Best wishes,
Taco
