Message-ID: <ae971a4828a38e15635b4d1b91273dfd@vivaldi.net> (raw)

Hello Pablo,

slight correction:

---- .bat
call lua.exe -e "os.execute('echo context --purgeall 
--arguments=PDFdocument=' .. ([[%1]]):gsub([[\]], '/') .. ' b.tex')"
----

"echo" should be omitted, of course, or be placed just for debugging 
purposes.

Best regards,

Lukas
