On a 3Mbps link, Dominik, synching (e.g.,) the Descriptive Catalogue of Greek MSS in the Lambeth Palace Library ties up my link for hours at a time following each compilation. I therefore need to exclude the generated PDF from synchronisation, and as there is no way of which I am aware to send the PDF to anywhere other than the same location as the (relatively trivial) auxiliary files, I send them all to a location for which Dropbox synchronisation is inhibited. But all of this is besides the point : surely o XeTeX --output-directory=../dynamic-content foo (or foo.tex) should compile foo.tex, not ../dynamic-content/foo.tex ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
