FOR PATRICK: An answer about how many runs LaTeX needs.
* '''Q:''' adding <code><latex></code> counterpart to <code><context></code>; mostly in order to be able to compare LaTeX and ConTeXt results or to be able to describe the desired result in [[:Category:From LaTeX]] '''A:''' [update] I didn't remember what <code><context></code> does... Would we need a multiple pass solution? --[[User:Patrick Gundlach|pg]]
: Brooks seems to like LaTeX, perhaps he can tell more; I don't really remember how many time one needs to run it. I guess that we won't need BibTeX, but perhaps some proper indexing/cross referencing would be handy. Is running it two times enough? More than three times is probably already to much. --[[User:Mojca Miklavec|Mojca]]
: In most cases, LaTeX really only needs one run. It needs two runs to resolve any references that are referenced before they are created -- which, for Wiki examples (which don't have floats floating to later pages) is probably likely to be so infrequent as to be unnecessary. It occasionally needs more than two runs, but only in really rare cases, and we definitely won't see those on the Wiki. So, my answer would be to do two-pass (call "latex filename" twice) if it's easy to do, otherwise one-pass is probably sufficient. --[[User:Brooks|Brooks]] 06:10, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)
