Language settings / French / quotation marks
by Tomas Hala 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Hi all, greetings from BachoTeX. With Jean-Michel, we found out that there is the unsuitable setting for French nested quotation marks in lang-def.mkiv (TL 2018): \c!leftquote=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquote=\rightguillemot, After discussion (also with Damian) the better and most frequently used setting should be the following: \c!leftquote=\upperleftdoublesixquote, \c!rightquote=\upperrightdoubleninequote, %%%%%% \installlanguage [\s!fr] [\c!spacing=\v!packed, \c!leftsentence=\emdash, \c!rightsentence=\emdash, \c!leftsubsentence=\emdash, \c!rightsubsentence=\emdash, \c!leftquote=\upperleftdoublesixquote, \c!rightquote=\upperrightdoubleninequote, \c!leftquotation=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquotation=\rightguillemot, \c!date={\v!day:mnem,\v!space,\v!month,\v!space,\v!year}] %%%%%% Would somebody check it and change it in newer versions? The best, Tomáš

Luatex 1.08.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

============================================================== LuaTeX 1.08 2018-08-28 ============================================================== (1) This release is a prelude to 1.10, the next stable iteration of LuaTeX after version 1.00. (2) Lua 5.3 is now considered to be default and we might use 5.4 in version 1.10. There are no real functional changed expected. You still need to rename the binary for 5.3! (3) Binary mode is no longer available in MPlib but it is still available in stand alone MetaPost. This simplifies compilation and reduces dependencies. (4) The dependency on Poppler for pdf image inclusion has been removed. We now use a small dedicated library written by Pawel Jakowski. We no longer need c++ compilers. We're in the process of making it behave well on all platforms. It has been tested on intel platforms. (5) We know that there can be some (alignment) issues with the arm platform but these are looked into. Therefore, later this year we will release 1.09. Version 1.10 is planned for TeXlive. We hope that ffi works ok on intel and arm platforms at that point. (6) There have been some extensions to the Lua libraries and some callbacks have been added. Also, a few new primitives have been introduced. The documentation mentions the stable extensions. (7) There are the usual bug fixes and cleanups but there have been no real fundamental changes in the API. The LuaTeX team

Missing indentnext check in buff-ver.mkiv
by Henri Menke 28 May '19

28 May '19

Dear devs, \typebuffer does not obey the indentnext option from \setuptyping because the corresponding checks are missing in \buff_verbatim_type_buffer and \buff_verbatim_type_buffer_indeed. I have attached a possible patch. Cheers, Henri

/AF key for attachments (in PDF/A-3)
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hi Hans, attachments in PDF/A-3 need to be related (as an array) to the document with the /AF key. I already reported this and I think that the most sensible value is to relate them to the document. That would mean to include the /AF key in the /Catalog dictionary. I think this would be the easiest way to implement and to use it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\lastxpos and \lastypos should behave like registers
by Henri Menke 23 May '19

23 May '19

Dear devs, The two macros \lastxpos and \lastypos should behave like registers, because that is what they are in LuaTeX. The following MWE fails with ! You can't use `the character 0' after \the \starttext \the\lastxpos \the\lastypos \stoptext A simple fix would be to wrap the macro in \numexpr like in the attached patch. Cheers, Henri

Interface fails fail to create PDF
by Wolfgang Schuster 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hi, when I add new commands, options etc. to interface files I often run context on the file itself to create a PDF to check the content but for Luametatex this doesn't work anymore. When I run ConTeXt like this context i-framed.xml I can see ConTeXt creating pages mtx-context | jobname: i-framed.xml mtx-context | ctxname: x-setups.ctx [...] pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1 pages > flushing realpage 2, userpage 2, subpage 2 pages > flushing realpage 3, userpage 3, subpage 3 pages > flushing realpage 4, userpage 4, subpage 4 [...] mkiv lua stats > runtime: 1.146 seconds, 4 processed pages, 4 shipped pages, 3.490 pages/second system | total runtime: 1.356 seconds of 1.449 seconds but i-framed.pdf is missing in the end.

utf8 chars in XML tags
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 May '19

04 May '19

Hi Hans, I wonder whether this patch could be applied to buffer-imp-xml-lua: -local name = (patterns.letter + patterns.digit + S('_-.'))^1 +local name = (patterns.letter + patterns.digit + S('_-.') + patterns.utf8two + patterns.utf8three + patterns.utf8four)^1 This would allow to have colored XML tags with utf8 chars (such as in <título>). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
