math typesetting problem in MKIV
by Brian R. Landy 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I have a small equation I am attempting to typeset. Using MKII it comes out fine, but under MKIV the text "non-perf. bal." is not typeset correctly (non-perf is instead nonperf with the dash under the 'p', and extra space appears after 'bal.') \starttext \math{\text{adjusted smm}={{(\text{vTr}+\alpha\times\text{sTr})\times(\text{perf. scheduled bal.})+\text{iTr}\times(\text{non||perf. bal.})}\over\text{balance}}} \stoptext I just updated minimals to ConTeXt 2009.08.17 10:43 and LuaTeX beta-0.42.0-2009071723 and still see the issue. Thanks, Brian

Luatex cache problems with current beta
by Lutz Haseloff 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi Hans , Hi all, with the latest beta only luatools --generate generates cachefiles for the trees. context --generate gives: C:\contextminimal>context --generate context --generate MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Since some days ago I have two luatex-cache folders, one under c:\Temp and one under c:\contextminimal\texmf-cache. That's why I deleted both at the last ConTeXt update today. setuptex.bat sets TEXMFCACHE to c:\contextminimal\texmf-cache. It seems, that luatools writes the cachfiles to the right directory, but context tries to read from c:\Temp\luatex-cache, which not exists. Greetings Lutz

some (older) problems
by Thomas Floeren 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, on 2009-06-18 there was a mail on the list with a collection of mkIV problems, a big part related to references and captions. (original text below) I just did a quick re-check with the actual minimals and lua, with the following result: Problems 2), 3) and b) are gone, problems 1), 4), 5), a) and c) are still there. I'm not sure if the remaining problems are due to bugs or rather a result of my poor comprehension of certain changes/new things in the mkIV code (especially c). Any help would be appreciated.

I've noticed also 3 problems since I switched to MKIV: a) Floatcaptions are no longer placed: \externalfigure[dummy] \placefloatcaption[figure]{blabla} b) \start...\stopregister results in an error: hmmpf\startregister[index][identifier]{Hmmpf}\page[yes] \dorecurse{2}{hmmpf\page[yes]} hmmpf\stopregister[index][identifier]\page[yes] \placeregister[index][compress=no] c) I'm not able to build caption numbers with the chapter number as prefix: I want for example "Fig. 2.6" where "2" is the chapter number and "6" the figure number by chapter. I tried all the options I found for setupcaptions (at least I think so), but I dont get the chapter number in the caption.

Can I use pdftex and texexec with latest download.
by John Culleton 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Been away from Context for a while so please bear with me. I just downloaded context-minimal to my home directory using the sh ./first-setup.sh script. I want to use pdftex primarily and now and then regular Context with texexec. I note that the download has references to luatex however, which I don't need/don't want to fool with. Is this download OK for my purposes or must I use another download method? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Dear All, is there a replacement of "hdotsfor" from LaTeX to fill several cells in a matrix row with one long series of dots? Sincerely, Michail

Integration limits with Cambria Math
by Michail Vidiassov 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Dear All, if I process the following with "ConTeXt ver: 2009.08.14 10:48 MKIV/LuaTeX, Version beta-0.42.0-2009071723" I get too much space between the integral sign and limits of integration. Sum limits are positioned OK. Without "cambria" lines integral is also fine. --------------- \usetypescript[cambria] \setupbodyfont[cambria] \starttext Inline $ \sum_{x=a}^{b}{f(x)g(x)}=\int_{a}^{b}{f(x)g(x)dx} $. \startformula \sum_{x=a}^{b}{f(x)g(x)}=\int_{a}^{b}{f(x)g(x)dx}. \stopformula \stoptext -------------- Is it a bug? Are there fixes/workarounds? Sincerely, Michail
