quotation/blockquote bug
by Idris Samawi Hamid 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Dear syndicate, There is a bug in \quotation and/or \blockquote (pdf attached): there is a spurious dbl-quote mark at the end of the par that only occurs when \quotation is invoked. Please advise, workarounds welcome :-) Best wishes Idris ============================ % engine=luatex \starttext \startblockquote The now also must be indivisible: that is, the now in the essential and primary sense in which the now is inherent in all time; not, indeed, the now in the derived sense of a period of time…This now, which functions as the border between both past and future, must, indeed, be identical….If the now were separate limits [of both the past and the future], there would be a time between them, since every [real] continuum must have something of the same kind between its limits; and the time between them would be divisible, since we have proved that all time is divisible. Accordingly, the now would be divisible [and it would not, then, be the now we are talking about]….Thus, it is clear that time includes something indivisible, which we call a \quotation{now.} Obviously, too, nothing can be moving during a now. \stopblockquote \stoptext ============================ -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Hi, can anyone with an actual *luatex* test, if this fails (live ConTeXt is broken). My binaries are from the minimals at contextgarden (pragma tree), ConTeXt is the latest beta. \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \newbox\TESTbox \setbox\TESTbox\hbox{Silence is sexy.} \hbox{{\color[red]Silence is sexy.}{\color[blue]Silence is sexy.}} \hbox{{\color[red]\copy\TESTbox}{\color[blue]\box\TESTbox}}% no colors with mkiv \stoptext Best wishes, Peter

In any case: Is there a better way to do this (see test file)? as taco mentioned ... most open type fonts have no italic correction automatically figuring it out is not always an option, compare (in pdftex): \sl \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A \bs \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A \it \the\fontdimen1\font\the\dimexpr1em\relax \`A \'A i can imagine that we start building a database with additional font parameters Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Keeping up-to-date under TeXLive
by Joel C. Salomon 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

My new Ubuntu installation includes TeXLive version 2007-10. Is there a way for me to keep the ConTeXt part of this up-to-date with current (stable) versions? Considering that I have XeTeX 0.996, do I want to, or should I stick with what currently works? --Joel

luatex not compiling
by Hans van der Meer 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

There appears to be a problem with the compilation of luatex on MacOSX 10.5.x, but I might have found (at least one of) the cause. On my system (MacOSX10.5.1) complation halted with: luatexextra.c:408 error: storage size of 'sigstk' isn't known. Further exploring showed the cause of this: SIGSTKSZ is not defined. As it turns out SIGSTKSZ is defined in signal.h and in luatexextra.c read with #include <signal.h>, assuming signal.h resides in /usr/include/signal.h. That however, is not the case on this version of MacOSX: it sits in / usr/include/sys/signal.h. Probably changing the code into: #include <signal.h> #ifndef _SIGNAL_H_ #include <sys/signal.h> #endif might help, but I have not tested this (some of the pie should be left for Taco c.s. ;-) Hans van der Meer

xetex/luatex & AUCTeX
by Gour 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi! Is it possible to 'teach' AUCTeX to use xetex and/or luatex as TeX engine for ConTeXt? I see entry for Omega, but all the attempts for luatex/xetex do not work :-( Sincerely, Gour

conditionals and font switches
by Idris Samawi Hamid 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Dear gang, Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions: \def\MyCS{<def1>}, \def\MyCS{<def2>}, \def\MyCS{<def3>} What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that <def1> takes effect when \tf is invoked <def2> takes effect when \it is invoked <def3> takes effect when \bf is invoked something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point) \def\MyCS{% \if\it<def1> \else \if\bf<def2> \else <def3>} How can I do this> Any tips greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays!

luatex on x86_64
by Gour 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi! I'm sold to luatex and plan to use it exclusively for all ConTeXt typesetting in order to help somewhat with testing it. However, I've some old lyx/latex stuff which needs to be migrated, so I'd prefer to keep my texlive installation for such stuff and having minimal ConTeXt installation to be able to typeset with luatex. There is pretty new PKGBUILd script for Arch Linux and I modified it a bit (see http://tinyurl.com/3yk6vw) in order to built luatex on x86_64. However, I see that build.sh.linux (for i386) and build.sh script differs, and the PKGBUILD created just /opt/texlive/bin/luatex executable. Not having access to i686 (i386) machine, I wonder what else is required to have working luatex installation? The content of /opt/texlive/bin/luatools script is: #!/bin/sh texmfstart luatools.lua "$@" Running "Hello world" example gives: gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1079 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en the file 'luatools' is not found TeXExec | runtime: 0.308419 Here is the build() function from PKGBUILD: build() { cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then cp $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh.linux $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh fi ./build.sh --datadir=/opt/texlive || return 1 # Overwrite old files # make $PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/$pkgname-$pkgver install || return 1 install -d $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then install -m 755 linux/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin else install -m 755 build/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin fi } Here are outputs from texexec & luatex: gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 152 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en the file 'luatools' is not found TeXExec | runtime: 0.257507 gour@gaura-nitai ~/tmp> luatex test.tex This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007122417 (Web2C 7.5.6) I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'! So, something is missing...any pointer for up-to-date doc (url) for installing/updating of minimal ConTeXt/luatex on x86_64 ? Sincerely, Gour
