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 try context --pipe --result=/tmp/result.pdf but that only runs the
document once, so cross referencings, TOC, etc won't work correctly. The
other options is to write to a file, and then run "context --purgeall
--result=/tmp/result.pdf filename"; this will run the document appropriate
number of times, and then delete the temp files, leaving only the .tex and
the .pdf file.
