Not likely: we are not going to run server-side on-demand colorization.

I have no clue about JavaScript, but if the Exec call returns a "child", you should be able to wait for completion of that child with a function called sys.wait or similar. It might also be possible to make the output file a "named pipe" before starting the program, but that's very system-specific and tricky. It might be easier to tell the program to write its output to standard output and find a corresponding JavaScript call that calls a program and collects its output. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
