Bliako,

I'd ++ that post more than once if the system allowed. You're very kind to provide code examples. Not having worked with JSON before, it may help me a lot. I've already been trying to work out how to do things via the information at the links provided earlier--so far have yet to get the download to initiate via AJAX. I know it must be possible somehow, but it seems the entire page almost needs to refresh to get the download http headers. I don't know. In any case, only when the entire page is submitted does it seem to work, whereas with AJAX the page is not refreshed, only updated in key parts.

Regarding the module you suggested, I was unaware of it, but have already got something working. From a quick glance at the description, though, I'm uncertain the module would help me. It says: "run_latex Runs the formatter (latex or pdflatex)." I'm not able to use pdflatex (I wish I could, as it allows for microjustification) because I'm needing compatibility with Asian-language scripts. For my use case, only XeLaTeX can do the job. Perhaps this is why I'm rolling my own script for this. Unfortunately, there are no microjustification capabilities for any TeX solution on these Asian scripts (Thai, Lao, Karen, Burmese, etc.). For that, people have to rent the very pricey (for this economy) Adobe InDesign--or else use Microsoft Word. Ugh!

Blessings,
