Subject: luaTeX and on-the-fly MetaPost compilation
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 23:28:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <g17cvp$qn2$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
I didn't have the opportunity to touch luaTeX yet, but let me ask one
question in advance: Since luaTeX has a built-in MetaPost interpreter,
is it possible to refer to a certain figure in a MetaPost source file
for inclusion, instead of a compiled figure?
As an example, I would like to say in a TeX document (syntax may differ)
\includeMetaPost{foo.2}
and this should not refer to the pre-compiled file
foo.2
but to section
figure(2);
...
endfig;
in file
foo.mp
and compile it on-the-fly. Would that be possible?
Rationale: I do not want to mix TeX and MetaPost code. Probably, I'll
stick with compiling .mp files prior to the TeX run anyway, but I'm
curious about this option.
Best regards,
Stephan Hennig
