What do you have in the include file?  Is it something you can't setup • using

[ ... snipped ... ]

I have a include file that I use for lighting.  It defines a shadowless
light source that simulates the sun.  For instruction images the shadows
actually detract from the final result in my opinion.  So what I would like

section and replace it with an include directive.

I could do this with a fairly simple Awk script if LPub had a facility to
pause between generating POV images and actually rendering them.

  LPub support for external POV post processors (was Sand Green)
 
Mike, I like the external POV post processor idea a lot, although I'll try not to use it as a catch all for denying LPub enhancements ;-) It would be a command line mechanism with command line arguments. I can see these things being possibly useful (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) LPub already post processes the POV files quite a bit, so doing some more might not be a bad thing. I've thought about providing for a list of simple text substitutions, that are blindly applied to the POV file, but these would be limited to (...)
