Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to make context read from stdin
instead of reading from a file?
cat /path/to/src.tex | context --result=/path/to/result.pdf
I'd like to do something like this in python:
def generate_pdf(self):
src = """
\starttext
\section[éléments-de-transmission]{Éléments de transmission}
Un module dans lequel une communauté temporaire d'étudiants et
d'enseignants s'exerce à mettre en situation des réflexions et des
moments de transmission en interrogeant sans cesse la question de
l'enseignement. La configuration des enseignants est variable selon
les situations. Les situations seront mises en place en semaine
A et B
selon l'emploi du temps. Chaque nouvelle situation invente sa
méthode.
\stoptext
"""
cmd = 'context --result=/tmp/result.pdf'
p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(" "), stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
(stdout, stderr) = p1.communicate(stdin=src)
you can use the standard tex input readers (\read) as well as io.read
when you're in lua
