The LuaTeXbook
by site4000＠free.fr 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hello, If I want to be a high level user/wizard/professional of TeX, I can buy the TeXbook and learn everything in it and experiment a lot. Here is a very interesting but heavy work to do. If I want to be a high level user of PDFTeX, I'll have to be a wizard of TeX and a professional of eTeX : Very heavy work If I want to be a high level user of LuaTeX, I'll have to be a wizard of PDFTeX, Lua, Omega, Aleph,... : Very very heavy work. So if I want to be a high level user of LuaTeX, I have to learn everything about the thirty years old TeX history. When LuaTeX will stable enough (LuaTeX v2.0 ???), is it on the roadmap to write a "LuaTeXbook" just like D.E. Knuth did in 1983 ? The idea would be to explain completely the functionalities of LuaTeX as if nothing had never existed before, it would be the opportunity to give users a new start in the world of TeX who allows to understand this programming langage (LuaTeX, not TeX) without having to look for all pieces of the puzzle. Of course, this "LuaTeXbook" would deal with Lua (and why not lua libraries, fontforge...) but we must bear in mind that the TeX aspect matters most. This book would be a very heavy project but it would be a very useful tool. Arthur

draftmode bugs
by Heiko Oberdiek 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Hello, Michael Niedermair reported two bugs in the mailing list TEX-D-L. He used lualatex, but I could reduce it to luatex -ini -draftmode Used version: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121316 (INITEX) 1. draftmode creates output file with zero bytes: \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \directlua{tex.enableprimitives('',{'pdfoutput'})} \pdfoutput=1 \shipout\hbox{} \csname @@end\endcsname\end Result: LuaTeX warning: \pdfdraftmode enabled, not changing output pdf Transcript written on test.log. But test.pdf is created with zero bytes. (It does not matter if a previous test.pdf exists, it will be overwritten.) 2. Image inclusion fails in draft mode: \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \directlua{tex.enableprimitives('',% {'pdfoutput','pdfximage','pdfrefximage','pdflastximage'})% } \pdfoutput=1 \pdfximage{s1.png}\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage \csname @@end\endcsname\end ! LuaTeX error (setup): \pdfdraftmode cannot be changed after data is written to the PDF file. Yours sincerely Heiko Oberdiek

0.60.2 fails to build on armel in CXXLD.sh
by Jani Monoses 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hello, luatex fails to build on Ubuntu Natty Here is the build log - search for undefined http://launchpadlibrarian.net/58040388/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-armel.luatex_0… Comments on the bug report suggest the parameters are not passed correctly for the static link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5/+bug/686381 Why is a static link needed btw? Does --disable-runtime-cxx-hack have some drawbacks? thanks Jani
