startfigure / placestartfigure confusion
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

Hi all, I was trying to document the \marking()() command (which is in itself a bit of an odd thing, but not the point of this message). It is supposedly to be used inside of \startfigure … \stopfigure (lmtx) or with the old name: \placestartfigure … \placestopfigure (mkii/mkiv) but as I was trying to produce an example, I discovered that \startfigure … \stopfigure does not seem to work at all ? no output appears. Is this command supposed to still work, even? % MWE (assuming I understand the supposed syntax correctly): \starttext \startfigure[mycow][cow.pdf][width=4cm] ... \stopfigure some text \stoptext — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\somewhere is broken in lmtx
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Nov '21

Hi, It just seems to typeset all its arguments, or something. Works fine in mkiv mode. MWE: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/somewhere (I set the wiki example up to use mkiv instead so it looks ok there) Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\offset

Hi, It looks like the \offset command is not quite exact? See attached output, which I thought should be exactly centred horizontally. Instead, it shifts too far to the left. Normally I would suspect a stray space somewhere, but I do not see it... Best wishes, Taco

lmtx \fillinline bug
by Taco Hoekwater 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hi, Something goes wrong rather oddly in lmtx with \fillinline. In vmode, it does not actually show the fill-in line, but then it does remember it because it will appear in the *next* paragraph. mkiv is fine, for comparison. Best wishes. Taco % MWE: \setuppapersize[A6,landscape] \starttext OK: \fillinline[width=2cm]{\it OK (hmode)} \par \fillinline[width=2cm]{\it NOT OK (vmode)} \par NOK, spillover!\par \stoptext — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

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
