Re: multi-column markup function/macro?

[Alex Loomis]

I got no output and a page full of fontconfig warnings when I ran it. I left out all but the first since there were about 100 and they're all nearly identical.

Starting lilypond 2.19.0 [xelatex-command-list.ly]...

Processing `/tmp/xelatex-command-list.ly'

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)

Fontconfig warning: "/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/../etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf", line 84: Having multiple <family> in <alias> isn't supported and may not works as expected

Hi Kieren,

I have extracted the latex-markup commands. At the end of the file is a
little example.
There are three ways to produce the latex source:
1. use a markup-list, which is converted with markup->tex: \xelatex { ... }
2. include a file with tex-content: \xelatexInclude #"<filename>"
3. use a string, probably read from a multiline-comment: \xelatexInclude
#text-variable

The example only uses the third method, because the first seemed to have
a bug and the second would need an extra file.
The latex code is included between \begin/\end{document}, so that the
markup command can calculate the dimensions for the resulting pdf. The
pdf is then split into eps files for each page, which are then included
in the markup-list.

Best, Jan-Peter
