Thanks for your reply. Both. But Luigi seems to say LuaTeX can NOT actually produce DVI. Or is that just ConTeXt? With "minimals" I can't run luatex directly. It wants a format file that is not there. Presumably "maximals" has it. So I can't try using "luatex --backend=3Ddvi hello_world" directly on my hello_world.tex to see if that option's supported. The "LuaTeX Reference" has not yet achieved an index and I don't know where else a list of luatex command line options might be found. But if there is no dvi or final ps output I think perhaps ConTeXt is not for me just now. Something Unix-oriented would be more usable. Something alien will throw up other problems. Oh, yes. May have a look at MkII. But does it use LuaTeX? The possibility of easy macros in Lua rather than difficult macros in TeX would be one attraction of ConTeXt. Maybe Eplain LuaTeX is what I need. Thanks again. --2060172531-74737866-1278729992=:401 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ --2060172531-74737866-1278729992=:401--
