the real time editing feature
by Marius 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hello, While working with ConTeXt and other TeXes I miss the real time editing feature, it is very time consuming to write formulas, tables, position images, format text and after every change recompile. So, after some google, I found the BaKoMa TeX. It's very impressive how fast it is. The author on his page [1] writes: "The reason of this scalability is that only one page of document is reformatted at editing document." [1] http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/texword.php So, the question is: how does he do that with latex? Or how to recompile just one page of a document with ConTeXt? As I am not very competent with internals of ConTeXt, I can't imagine how to do that. With a very simple scenario my guess is: context --pipe 1) input preamble, 2) input text up to the page X, generate pdf and wait for user input, 3) if user edits page X, input text from page X and update pdf replacing page X. The problem with this algorithm is that a complete pdf document is produced just after the \stoptext command is input, but atfter this command the pipe is closed too. The other problem is that I don't now how to implement with ConTeXt commands the part of the step 3: "update pdf replacing page X". Maybe you have answers to these questions or a better solution to this problem. Marius

Bug: English versions of manuals mention Dutch command
by Sietse Brouwer 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Dear ConTeXt-devs, The English-language versions of "ConTeXt, the manual" (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-eni.pdf) and "ConTeXt, an excursion" (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf) both contain mentions of \inmarge, which should be \inmargin. This slipped through the net when ConTeXt was translated from Dutch to English, I expect. In the manual, \inmarge is found on PDF pages 364 and 64 (numbered 361 and 61, respectively). In the excursion, \inmarge is found on PDF pages 33 and 63, 64 (which are numbered 31, 61, and 62). Kind regards, and many thanks for working on ConTeXt, Sietse Brouwer Who is learning ConTeXt, and likes it a lot so far.

cont-en.xml
by Wolfgang Schuster 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, i plan to update cont-en.xml with changes in mkiv (new keys and commands) but i'm unsure if it's good to mix mkii and mkiv. I think it's to make a separate definition file for mkiv which contains the extra keys for the commands (e.g. sectionsegments for \setuphead) and use the current one for mkii only. Wolfgang

Luatex 0.63.0 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.63.0. This is a development release. News: * Drop tex.ht[], tex.wd[], tex.dp[]. * Drop OCP support (and associated primitives). * Add tex.catcode[], tex.lccode[], tex.sfcode[], tex.uccode[], tex.mathcode[] and tex.delcode[] and associated functions. * Add CIDset tables to the output pdf where appropriate. * Added a 'string' field to late_lua nodes on the lua side. This field does not convert the assigned string to a tokenlist. * The result of fontloader.open() now has some virtual accessors (as well as fontloader.to_table). * There is now a `short reference' in the manual folder (functionref.pdf) Bugfixes: * Fix a crash on an empty font (bugreport #468). * Fix a crash for extremely long pattern arguments. * Fix a crash on bad virtual character arguments in lua. * Fix hyphenation exceptions. * Prevent linebreak between initial local_par paragraph whatsit and a following skip (bugreport #437). * Fix placement of scripts on textstyle big operators in MATH fonts (bugreport #466). * Fix a crash on the return value of MPlib's 'postscript' operation on images. * Fix a crash on \leftghost & \rightghost in math mode. The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co http://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.63.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
