Dear context users, at first a lot of warm thanks for help and comments on using t-simpleslides. On a different matter, I now have the following problem : I do a lot of testing trying compiling my slides (using the following command : "context essai.tex"). Sometimes, I get errors and an interactiv

On a small example : ctrl+C works, ctrl+Z leaves unkillable (either -15 or -1) luatex and texlua process. kill -9 leaves zombies. killing the parent shell clean everything. Le dimanche 10 mai 2009 à 19:25 +0100, Mohamed Bana a écrit : > I've also noticed something along those lines. I've also f
