Stack overflow
by Alain Delmotte 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi! I just upgraded ConTeXt minimals (from the status-of-update.lua file: ["info"]={ ["comment"]="this file contains the settings of the last 'mtxrun --script update ' run", ["count"]=3, ["date"]="2010-03-20 09:14:09", ["runtime"]=90.688, ["version"]=0.1, }, ) When I want to compile the file on which I am working, I get: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:2161: stack overflow So, I am stuck. What is the solution? Alain

switchtpbodyfont values
by Hans van der Meer 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

In font-ini I see two parametrized fontsize changes on \switchtobodyfont: 'big' and 'small' (the latter seen defined as \tfx); apart from 'global' which as I understand returns to the original size of \setupbodyfont. Can there be a 'tiny' (corresponding to \tfxx) as another option? I often have use for two steps smaller. Instead of reverting to an explicite pointsize for the smallest of the two, use of big > global > small > tiny would be more general. Just a modest wish. Hans van der Meer

Which packages?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello, I'm new to ConTeXt; I've been working with LaTeX but I'd like to try ConTeXt due to some reasons. The question is - - is there a manual, web site or something where comparison of LaTeX/ConTeXt packages/modules would be done? I'm interested how to include a part of a text file and how to insert some pages of another .pdf file. Normally I was using the fancyvrb (\VerbatimInput) + option "firstline=..." and "lastline=..." respectively and pdfpages (\includepdf} + "pages=..." LaTeX packages; what's the equivalent for them in ConTeXt? Is there a place where to study module/package "similarities"/"equivalences"? Thank you in advance. Regards, Lukas

Beta version 2010.03.29 18:49: mkiv broken?
by Otared Kavian 29 Mar '10

Hi all, After reading a message of Hans to Wolfgang Schuster, saying that there was a new beta, I updated the minimals as usual, and it seems that mkiv is broken now, while mkii works fine: ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.29 18:49 MKII fmt: 2010.3.29 int: english/english Has something changed in first-setup.sh, or the way mkiv should work? I am sure Mojca has an idea on the issue :-) Best regards: OK

missing \xmldoifelseempty's
by Hans van der Meer 29 Mar '10

Why are \xmldoifelseempty and \xmldoifelseselfempty commented out in lxml-ini.mkiv? I thought to make good use of them. Now I get the error: ! Undefined control sequence. \@@su:xml:cdcase:recording #1->\xmldoifelseempty {#1}{}{}{Recording: Hans van der Meer

Hallo, how should the directory be named where a 600 dpi pk-font is searched for by luatex? Wolfgang

That makes sense this way. -- Never change a running system -- Wolfgang

Hallo, I have it found! In chapter 4.1.1.10 of the luatex reference one can read: The argument name is a bit special in this case. Its form is <base res>dpi/<fontname>.<actual res>pk Wolfgang
