luatex and harfbuzz 2.5.1
by luigi scarso 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

In experimental there is now luatex 1.11.0 with harfbuzz 2.5.1 It follows from the development of harftex by K. Hosny. Please note that the code is 1) in experimental 2) marked as work in progress so it can stay as is, it can be changed , it can be removed completely. We have relaxed the constrain "only C" so a recent C++ is required; but we keep the contrain on the size the must be "small" --- the current size of the binary is around 8M so still good. Feedbacks are welcome: it would be nice to have it in texlive 2020 modulo that constrains are satisfied. -- luigi

On \maxdimen in LuaTeX
by Sjors Gielen 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi all, According to the TeX in Practice book, "the largest dimension value that can be represented in a TeX program is 16383.99999pt. This value is assigned to a dimension register \maxdimen [...]." This is a tiny bit smaller than 2^14 pt. As a layman TeX user, my naive guess is that in the compiler, floating point dimension registers probably use int32_t or some other fixed-length type, and the compiler implements its own floating point arithmetics. Either way, whenever an overflow is going to happen, the compiler prints a "! Dimension too large" error. This error also occurs when using LuaTeX. My gut feeling is that the current limit of (almost) 16384 pt is perhaps mostly historic; could it nowadays be loosened somehow? Perhaps the dimension calculations are already in Lua and the error is there for legacy reasons, or perhaps the calculations are still in C and if int32_t is indeed used, int64_t could conceivably raise the max dimensions to hundreds of kilometers, more than anyone would accidentally reach. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Best, Sjors Gielen P.S.: The discussion I am hoping to invoke is theoretical, but for background, my motivation comes from the use of the 'mdframed' package to split a large frame over many pages. Our automated testing system creates mdframed environments containing test steps and their outcomes; we have apparently crossed some new amount of steps where the virtual vbox size goes over \maxdimen before the vbox is split over multiple pages. If the error is ignored, the generated PDF looks fine. We can also end the mdframed environment every N steps and immediately start a new one, which is an acceptable workaround but I'm a bit unsatisfied that it's necessary. Perhaps this is better considered a bug in mdframed than in the typesetting engine, but I still find the theoretical question behind \maxdimen interesting, hence this e-mail.

[PATCH] Respect find_{output,write}_file result
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 01 Jun '19

[PATCH] Allow literal # in argument text by escaping
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hi, inspired by [a recent TeX.sx question][1] this allows delimited macros with `#` in the parameter text by doubling the `#`. It isn't needed that often but it is useful if you try to analyze the parameter text of a TeX macro using TeX code. Also it is completely backward-compatible (`##` always triggers an error without this) and it is very easy to implement. For example: \def\test#1###2{(#1)[#2]} \test hello#{world} would result in (hello)[world] Best regards, Marcel Krüger 1: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/491296/can-i-have-a-delimited-macro… --- source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/scanning.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/scanning.c b/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/scanning.c index 8f7e1d591..e8b9fca66 100644 --- a/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/scanning.c +++ b/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/scanning.c @@ -2095,7 +2095,8 @@ halfword scan_toks(boolean macro_def, boolean xpand) store_new_token(end_match_token); goto DONE; } - if (t == nine_token) { + if (cur_cmd == mac_param_cmd) { + } else if (t == nine_token) { print_err("You already have nine parameters"); help1("I'm going to ignore the # sign you just used."); error(); -- 2.21.0

Fixing \shapemode
by Marcel Krüger 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hi, I attached a patch fixing the problem Ulrike Fischer described in https://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2019-April/007127.html and https://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-November/006641.html : \shapemode=2 and \shapemode=3 should mirror the parshape, but until now this has only been done for the final entry in the parshape list, leading to inconsistant behaviour. The fix seems easy: Add `swap_parshape_indent` to ext_post_line_break in the same way as in ext_do_line_break. A reproducing example in plain TeX can be found in Ulrike's mails linked above. Best regards Marcel Krüger

win32 luatex synctex broken
by Linas Stonys 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi, dvilualatex (from version 1.7 up till 1.10) synctex in win32 is not working properly. In linux works fine. And I tried dvilualatex 1.10 from win64 (ctan) works normally too. There is a lot of 0 coordinates in synctex file. Example from natnotes.tex file: dvilualatex 1.10 (win32): x1,183:15690374,0 x1,183:16564182,0 dvilualatex 1.10 (win64): x1,183:15690374,4810340 x1,183:16564182,4810340 Could it be fixed? Or maybe there is a luatex 1.7 (win32 or win64) somewhere with working synctex? Thanks in advance Linas
