I agree this would be helpful. Any thoughts on command line syntax?
For example, maybe something like this?
lpub —suppress-output=latex [file]
That sounds fine!
Or the positive form: lpub --output=html [file]
?
Or the unnecessarily galaxy-brain alternative: lpub --patch-meta='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/output/latex"}]'
? (That's a JSON Patch spec for modifying the document's meta block. Totally general! Galactically brained!)
Related anecdote -- I just found myself setting minify: true
in HTML options in order to speed up compilation. Another temporary dev-mode setting!
LaTeX output is slow, so I'd like a way to only compile HTML output as I'm writing. I can comment out the "latex" section in the metadata, but this clobbers my collaborators' environments. It would be nicer if there were a command-line argument to specify (as an override) which output formats I want – or something like that.
