Why? I was talking about fully automatic tests, not tests like "compile and open result in the viewer". I understand that there is not too much functionality that can be tested automatically (hence, server-side), but at least some basic things can be tested. Probably, more features can be tested server-side analyzing the result pdf file using some library (though I don't know the pdf-parsing libraries sufficiently good to implement it). ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
