process LaTeX fragments? about filter

[adityam]

Yes. The way to think about it is as follows. The \start<filter> ... \stop<filter> environment writes a file with the following content:

• before filter buffer
• content of the environment
• after filter buffer

and then runs the filtercommand. So, if you can generate a valid LaTeX file such that running pdflatex gives you a cropped PDF, it is easy to include it back in ConTeXt.

Use case: I'm thinking about converting my LaTeX training docs to context, but I'll need to have code examples in there and show the results.

[adityam]

You mean something like this TeX.SE example? This only shows the result, but you can show the results via \typebuffer or using the vim module for syntax highlighting.

[denismaier]

Yes, that looks intersting. Thanks for the hint. So, you'll just need to define wrapper commands that will construct a valid latex document?
