[SVN] Re: [TxMt] Beta 4 & bundles

[Eric Hsu]

(I'm just restricting this to the Dev list.)

The HTML output feature is almost colossally cool.  Several stray notes.

1. One is tempted to click on the beautiful links in the window. This 
usually freezes the window. E.g. do "man..." on something, e.g. 
"sudo".  A beautiful html man page appears,but when one clicks on 
"BUGS", for example, the window becomes unscrollable and can only be 
closed.

2. The HTML validator is very neat (though less practical than using 
a local Tidy?). I note all the links have been hacked to close on 
click, which perhaps is a workaround for bug #1?  I think the window 
should stick around; for instance I might have a number of errors 
that I want to click-jump to, not just the first, considering the 
upload might take a while...

3. I can't figure out how to make TM display a PDF file using 
"txmt:". I was hoping I could just do a
<txmt://open?url=file:///Users/erichsu/Work/Letters/AkosuaDemann.pdf>, 
but it comes out in psuedo-binary. Also, I instantly crashed TM by 
'Showing Web Preview' of a PDF opened through "txmt:" (sometimes you 
have to click on refresh a few times).

4. I upgraded my pdflatex so it recognizes your flags (like 
-halt-on-error), but I'm not seeing the PDF output of pdflatex. I 
once got a 'Find your version of Adobe' window, and I picked Adobe 
Reader 7.

best, Eric
