Hello,

While working with ConTeXt and other TeXes I miss the real time
editing feature, it is very time consuming to write formulas, tables,
position images, format text and after every change recompile.

So, after some google, I found the BaKoMa TeX. It's very impressive
how fast it is. The author on his page [1] writes: "The reason of this
scalability is that only one page of document is reformatted at
editing document."

[1] http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/texword.php

So, the question is: how does he do that with latex? Or how to
recompile just one page of a document with ConTeXt?

As I am not very competent with internals of ConTeXt, I can't imagine
how to do that.

With a very simple scenario my guess is:

context --pipe

1) input preamble,
2) input text up to the page X, generate pdf and wait for user input,
3) if user edits page X, input text from page X and update pdf replacing page X.

The problem with this algorithm is that a complete pdf document is
produced just after the \stoptext command is input, but atfter this
command the pipe is closed too. The other problem is that I don't now
how to implement with ConTeXt commands the part of the step 3: "update
pdf replacing page X".

Maybe you have answers to these questions or a better solution to this problem.

Marius
