Unable to make mpx file. hm, looks like I have to intercept the inputs in order to turn the btex ... into textexts (which happens with the main file) what I actually need for this is a reader hook (just like we have a finder hook); I could use the finder hook to make a temporary file, but I wonder if that makes sense so let's first check if we can get a reader hook (remind me in a few weeks anyway and use textext instead of btex/etex for the moment) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
