Subject: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt write its pdf to a different directory?
Date: Sat, 27 May 2023 13:52:42 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D7420FB5-45E0-4914-A980-BBAA26172FBD@icloud.com> (raw)

My .tex file is in a directory within my working directory. I would like ConTeXt to write its output in the same directory as my .tex file. But it writes to the working directory.

This was asked 10 years ago:
`tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67928/how-to-set-output-directory-in-context-command` 

The answer given then was to use:
`context filename --result=output-directory/filename`

But this doesn't work now. When I compile my .tex file, I get a message:
`results are to be on the running path, not on 'output-directory', ignoring --result`

I've looked in the wiki:
`https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context`

Thank you,
Peter
