LMTX: Space in file names

LMTX: Space in file names

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

I noticed that the lmtx beta from 2019.08.18 22:27 does not anymore accept spaces in file names, while the mkiv version does accept it.
I am aware that putting a space in a file name is a very bad habit, but I am convincing some people who were used to use MS Word in order for them to use ConTeXt, and these people have many files with names containing spaces such as « correction problème 1.tex » (and in fact this is how I noticed this new behavior of lmtx: when typesetting such a file, lmtx looks for « correction.tex »). 
That is why I think if lmtx could continue to accept spaces in file names that would be very convenient. Do you think this would be possible?

Best regards: OK

Hi Hans,

Thanks to your reply, I just discovered the reason for which I could not typeset in lmtx files which have a space in their name from the Terminal: one has to say

	context "exercice 1.tex"

that is to enclose the entire filename between double quotes… Which is completely logical! 

Thanks a lot for your time!

Best regards: OK
