Hi, \defineexternalfigure[\v!page:\v!figure][\c!offset=\v!overlay] % we force a parent \permanent\tolerant\protected\def\startpagefigure[#1]#*[#2]% {\bgroup \setupexternalfigure[\v!page:\v!figure][\c!offset=\v!overlay,#2]% \startTEXpage[\c!offset=\namedexternalfigureparameter{\v!page:\v!figure}\c!offset,\c!align=\v!normal]% \externalfigure[#1]\ignorespaces} % so we can put some text below the graphic I think that last line should be \externalfigure[#1[\v!page:\v!figure]]\ignorespaces} % so we can put some text below the graphic ?

Three issues: empty lines | -error.log file | simpleslides
by Tomas Hala 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hi all, during last several months I came accross three non-critical problems worth reporting here: 1. Empty lines at the beginning of the main file generates an error: -----------------------------ERR This is LuaTeX, Version 1.13.0 (TeX Live 2021) system commands enabled. ** --------------------------------- and compilation crashes. Detected at TL 2021, at two or three month old garden installation is does not appear (maybe it has been fixed yet). ------------------------------MWE \starttext xxx \stoptext --------------------------------- 2. When an error during compilation of "xxx.tex" appears, the file "xxx-error.log" is generated. But sometimes happens that file "-error.log" is created. It makes troubles for Linux command line processing -- if user writes some mask later, "-error.log" string is interpreted by default as list of options of a particular command. It would be very useful if a test preventing an "empty" filename will be added. -----------------------------LOG (file -error.log) return { ["filename"]="", ["lastcontext"]="\n<*> c\n ont-yes.mkiv --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname=./pokus-1.tex --c:input=./pokus-1.tex --c:kindofrun=3 -- --c:maxnofruns=1 --c:once -- -- --c:texmfbinpath=/usr/local/texlive/2021/bin/x86_64-linux", ["lastluaerror"]="?", ["lasttexerror"]="! Interruption", ["linenumber"]=0, ["offset"]=10, } -------------------------------- 3. When simpleslides module is used, interactive element BottomSquares does not change if the file is compiled by ConTeXt from TL2021 whereas with ConTeXt from TL2019 it works. -----------------------------MWE \usemodule[simpleslides][style=BottomSquares,font=Schoolbook,size=20dd,] \starttext \setupTitle[title=Title] \placeTitle \SlideTitle{A+B} blabla \SlideTitle{CCC} blabla \SlideTitle{D+E} blabla \stoptext -------------------------------- Examples attached. The best, Tomáš

Hi, below is a short patch for \definefontfamily. function selectfont.registerfiles(index) local data = data[index] local colon = splitat(":",true) for alternative, _ in next, alternatives do local arguments = data.alternatives[alternative] if arguments and arguments ~= "" then local entries = settings_to_array(arguments) for index, entry in next, entries do method, argument = lpegmatch(colon,entry) if not argument then argument = method method = "name" end if #entries == 1 and method == "features" then extras["features"](data,alternative,argument) methods[v_default](data,alternative) else (extras[method] or methods[method] or methods[v_default])(data,alternative,argument) end end else methods[v_default](data,alternative) end end end Wolfgang

mtxrun makes x11 stuck
by Sylvain Hubert 12 Sep '21

12 Sep '21

Dear ConTeXt Devs, Here's a problem that I reported last year ( https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/099862.html) with a wrong description. I thought that it had something to do with Firefox or browsers, but it turns out to be a much deeper and weirder problem messing up with the X window system. Environment: Manjaro Linux 21.1.2, Xfce 4.16 Steps to reproduce: 1. `context --version` # it can hardly be any more innocent 2.1. keep striking random keys in the terminal or mounsepad or whatever 2.2. or open a running-cat.gif in the background Expected behavior: the characters should appear as you type, or the cat should keep running Actual behavior: ~3s after `context --version` finishes, the terminal freezes and the character stops appearing for ~1s, or similarly, the cat stops running for ~1s In short, ~3s upon termination of context, the X window stuck for ~1s. More information: 1. The problem only appears 2 days after the fresh installation of latest context-lmtx, which was also the case last year. 2. `context --version` isn't doing anything, so it shouldn't be a resource problem, and I've got no such problem keeping 40+ pages open in chrome anyway. 3. Below is a more precise timing of the problem. The first output is the result of `context --version` along with the start and stop timestamps. The second output is a python one-liner printing timestamps each time it reads an <enter>. Notice how python reads an <enter> per ~0.05s until 00:33:21.597326, when it is blocked for ~0.7s. I'm not sure if it's reproducible everywhere, and I'm willing to debug it myself, but I would need the source code of the context executable. Thanks!
