Subject: setting variable on cmd-line
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:31:38 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.0909181509040.18238@gaston.couberia.bzh> (raw)

Hello,

I've a little feature request:
It would be nice, to have a command line option like "--setvalue x=y" or
similar for the "context" command to define a variable for the job.

Modes are already very nice, but often I need just one value for
conditional compiling a document instead of many binary switches.

Perhaps the "context --arguments" option is what I'm looking for, but I
didn't find how to use it.

Another option would be, to make the name of the result-file
("context --result=...") available, for example as "\resultname".

Cheers, Peter
