Do you use a sort of io-buffering in the mplib or a memory-file? When is the file flushed or closed? Wolfgang

typesetting modules
by Hans van der Meer 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

For typesetting a context module I did the following, first making a .ted file and then typesetting it: texmfstart ctxtools --documentation --type=pdf char-utf.tex texmfstart texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf However I got an unknown format cont-nl.fmt. Why is nl chosen? What I am doing wrong here? I always use cont-en.fmt and have my MacOSX preference language set to english. How can I change the obvious default behaviour from nl to en? 127 ~/TeX/test: texmfstart ctxtools --documentation --type=pdf char- utf.tex CtxTools | input file : char-utf.tex CtxTools | output file : char-utf.ted CtxTools | filetype : pdf CtxTools | documentation sections : 5 CtxTools | definition sections : 6 CtxTools | skipped sections : 0 128 ~/TeX/test: texmfstart texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf char-utf.ted TeXExec | processing document 'char-utf.ted' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file char-utf.top TeXExec | using randomseed 772 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-nl This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.7 (Web2C 7.5.6) \write18 enabled. %&-line parsing enabled.

ctx usage
by Hans van der Meer 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

I am an ignoramus I know, but running context starts with the message: TeXExec | no ctx file found It seems quite normal because the "first document" on the wiki also shows this message. I searched the wiki in vain through "ctx" and ".ctx" for an explanation of its purpose. Can someone point me to that info? Hans van der Meer

where luatex cache?
by Hans van der Meer 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

I have a setup with several users, one acting as system administrator, the others as users. What can be said regarding the setup of the luatex cache? The possibilities I see are: (1) central cache in the /usr/local/texlive tree; (2) decentralized cache per user in its local texmf tree (3) decentralized cache per user in some unrelated directory (4) decentralized cache per user in /tmp (cleaned out by the system on restart, i think) Can someone comment on the merits of these alternatives?

I still use the LaTeX class scrlttr2 for my letters. I use adress files bundled with that class. Adresses are macros and selected by a string-key. Maybe it would be nice, if there could be a interface to such a key and a lua-function (which defaults to return) taking this key as argument. So everybody can write his own adress-import function. Just an idea. Grusz, Wolfgang

Font problem

All, I did a fresh install on a new Macbook: MacTeX-2007 I am using Aditya's package: http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-4/mahajan/ I believe I have a font problem, as in trying to compile my file I come up against what is shown below.

thanks for context-stub
by Peter Münster 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hello Hans, Thanks for the context-stub! Now it's possible to say "context file" and using MKIV without "% engine=luatex" in the file. One small bug-fix for spaces in filename: $@ -> "$@" And one small feature request: it would be nice to get the ConTeXt-version with "context --version". Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Lost in columnset
by luigi scarso 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

I realize that in \definecolumnsetarea[one][right][x=1,y=25,nx=2,ny=18,page=19,state=start] page=19 is relative to \startcolumnset[AAA] ...\stopcolumnset not to \realfolio . So, what about [right] ? Is related to \realfolio or to page ? -- luigi it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org
