beta on ftp
by Hans Hagen 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi, For those with access to the ftp server .. there is a new beta with quite some low level changes in the font subsystem (leaner, faster, design sizes dealt with differently). Also type-otf.mkiv has been split up (mostly more will follow) which gives a faster startup.

Hi, can the \defineplistplacement command in the same way be modified as the \defineheadplacement command to allow \definelistplacement[…][…]#1#2#3{…} % old form with parameters and \definelistplacement[…][…]{…} % new form without parameters \unexpanded\def\definelistplacement {\dodoubleempty\dodefinelistplacement} \def\dodefinelistplacement[#1][#2]% {\setvalue{\??listelement#1}% {\doifelsenothing{#2} {\getvalue{\??listelement\v!command}}% {\expandcheckedcsname\??listelement{#2}\v!command}% \setlistparameter\c!command{\getvalue{\??listelementcommand#1}}}% \doifnextbgroupelse {\dodefinelistplacementyes{#1}} {\dodefinelistplacementnop{#1}}} \def\dodefinelistplacementyes#1% {\setvalue{\??listelementcommand#1}##1##2} \def\dodefinelistplacementnop#1% {\setvalue{\??listelementcommand#1}} Wolfgang

numbers
by Hans Hagen 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi Wolfgang, I redid some of strc-num so you'd better test it. One difference is that the 'user variants' do some checking due to the dodouble etc An alternative is to have different ones for normal and sub and do something like \def\xxx[#1]#2[#3]{...{#1}{#3}} i.e. hard tex errors instead of warnings. A problem might be that users use \raw*counter which was expandable while now we have ...value alternatives for that (could be done consistently for more commands. Ok, we could keep old ones and use *value for checked ones instead. It all boils down to how compatible we want to be. So ... just an ftp beta and no public one yet.

\setnumber
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Jan '12

Hi, can the \setnumber/\setstructurecounter syntax be changed to allow also \setnumber[…][3] besides the current \setnumber[…]{3} The first form fits better with the other setup commands etc. \unprotect \unexpanded\def\setstructurecounter {\dodoubleempty\dosetstructurecounter} \def\dosetstructurecounter {\ifsecondargument \expandafter\dosetstructurecounteryes \else \expandafter\dosetstructurecounternop \fi} \def\dosetstructurecounteryes[#1][#2]{\ctxcommand{setstructurecounter ("\@@thestructurecounter{#1}",1,\number#2)}} \def\dosetstructurecounternop[#1][]#2{\ctxcommand{setstructurecounter ("\@@thestructurecounter{#1}",1,\number#2)}} \let\setnumber\setstructurecounter \protect \definenumber[test] \starttext \setnumber[test]{3} \getnumber[test] \setnumber[test][7] \getnumber[test] \stoptext Wolfgang

\setupnote
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi Hans, When \setupnote is called in preamble footnotes are placed wrong. %\setuppapersize[A4] \setupnote[footnote][] \starttext Text\footnote{Note}. \stoptext This happens because \dimen\currentnoteins is set to 1pt (the current value of \textheight before \starttext). The problem is the following setting in page-app.mkiv \setuplayout [fittingpage] [\c!width=\d_page_fitting_width, \c!height=\d_page_fitting_height, \c!location=\v!middle] which changes the \textheight dimension (from the value set in page-lay.mkiv). Merging \definelayout and \setuplayout from \definelayout [fittingpage] [\v!page] \setuplayout [fittingpage] [\c!width=\d_page_fitting_width, \c!height=\d_page_fitting_height, \c!location=\v!middle] to \definelayout [fittingpage] [\v!page] [\c!width=\d_page_fitting_width, \c!height=\d_page_fitting_height, \c!location=\v!middle] solves the problem.

Buffers again
by Wolfgang Schuster 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi Hans, in the new beta buffers are fixed but one \endgroup is on the wrong position. In the following macros \endgroup has to be before \buff_stop{#4}. \def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4% \donothing needed ! {\normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}\endgroup}}} % (3 & 4 & 5 & 6) A cleaner solution would be to remove \endgroup above and put it back into \buff_stop. \def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4% {\normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}}}} \unexpanded\def\buff_stop#1% {\endgroup \getvalue{#1}} Wolfgang
