Ok, I'll do that then! But why isn't there a open_write_file callback?
With this callback you wouldn't have to add some management I guess...
even then you need management
Also: how do I control the "input buffer" of the main tex file? I can't
control it with open_read_file can I? So I still would have to register
a function in the process_input_buffer and add functions in the
open_read_files that concert from utf to latin1, before they are
converted again to utf... I still find this solution ugly... Isn't there
a better one?
rewrite latex
anyhow, normally one writes from lua or from tex:
- open/close in tex, write from tex or lua (texio.write)
- open/close in lua, write from lua
because writes can be direct (\immediate) or defered you always need
some control over it, so using callbacks is kind of tricky; and after
all, normally writes (and esp ones to aux files) should be managed by
the macro package anyway
the more precise control at the read end is due to the fact that in
todays tex this is also kind of controlled (in the web2c lib) as well as
that input can come from other sources than the file system
