How to ged rid of temporary files, forever?

How to ged rid of temporary files, forever?

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi,

I have a folder where I store my tex sources and generated pdfs. The 
problem is that now it is overflooded with temporary files (top, 
tuo,log,...).

I remember Hans wrote somewhere that LuaTeX will hold temporary files in 
memory... But they are still there, on the disk.

Yes, I know the --purge-all option, but it is too long to write "context 
filename --purge-all ", isn't it?

It would be very nice if we could set an option somewhere (for example, 
in the registry) to NOT generate temporary files, and even log files (I 
never use them).

Best regards,
Vyatcheslav Yastkovsky

Under mkiv I use

It deletes all *run, *tui, *top, *log

Buffers are stored in memory but you need external files for the references,
lists (table of content, figures ...).

Not for me.

You could ask for a parameter in cont-sys.tex or a similiar file.

currently a mkiv run generates:

.tui -> becomes .tuo
.tua -> becomes .tuc

and the context script generates a .top file with options

then there is

.pdf
.log

now, the tui/tuo pair will go away once all multipass info is stored in 
the tua/tuc files

that leaves:

jobname.tex (mandate)
jobname.tua (old multipass)
jobname.tuc (new multipass)
jobname.top (job options)
jobname.pdf (result, mandate)
jobname.log (mandate, no way in tex to turn it off)

so, it's not that many files at all; ok, i can try to save one of the 
multipass files (for which i need random access in the file which might 
be a problem on some os's) and deleting the job/log file can be an 
option too (as in texexec) but there will always be multipass data (till 
the moment that we have multiple runs in mem, which is on the agenda for 
many year sfrom now)

Need more interword spacing

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi,

Can someone suggest me global setting for interword spacing? I write 
chords above lyrics (with a pen), and often there is no enougn space 
between words.

Best,
Vyatcheslav

Hi,

Wolfgang have told me about using code such as ``spaceskip .25em plus
.25em\relax'' to adjust spaces in Chinese chacracters. You can try it
for your problem.

Sorry, I made a mistake. It should be ``\spaceskip .25em plus .25em\relax''.

Before you do this try \setuptolerance[horizontal,space].

Re: Need more interword spacing

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi all,

I found nice solution by myself:
\interwordspace 2\interwordspace
that sets double space.

Wolfgang's
\setuptolerance[horizontal,space]
also works fine. But 2*space doesn't work, what can I do if I want even 
more space?

Best,
Vyatcheslav

Only "space" alone is a valid value. If found no better solution in the core
and you have to use either \interwordspace or \spaceskip.
