You can get pretty much real time by doing this in a script.
Such scripts can be fantastically helpful.
For example, here is the contents of @button make-sphinx in LeoDocs.leo::
@language python
import os
trace = True
g.cls()
c.setComplexCommand('make-sphinx')
if c.isChanged():
c.save()
aList = c.rstCommands.rst3()
if aList:
path = g.os_path_finalize_join(g.app.loadDir,'..','doc','html')
os.chdir(path)
if len(aList) > 1: g.execute_shell_commands('make clean',trace=trace)
g.execute_shell_commands('make html',trace=trace)
fn = aList[0].h.strip() if len(aList) == 1 else 'leo_toc.html'
fn =
g.os_path_finalize_join(path,'_build','html',g.os_path_basename(fn))
if g.os_path_exists(fn):
# Don't wait for this command to exit!
g.execute_shell_commands(['&%s' % (fn)],trace=trace)
BTW, c.setComplexCommand('make-sphinx') allows me to type Ctrl-P
(repeat-complex-command) to execute this script again.
make-sphinx uses external processes. From your description, you may not
have to do that. In any case, 20 minutes spent writing such a script will
transform your workflow. It did for me.
HTH.
