LuaTeX beta-0.60.0 on Mac OS X Tiger (was: Latest beta...)
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Dear Mac users, according to the latest findings it seems that natively compiled LuaTeX still works on Mac OS X Tiger, but the cross-compiled one (compiled on 64-bit Mac OS X Snow Leopard) won't work on Tiger since the version beta-0.60.0. However, users report that it still runs perfectly fine on Leopard. Michael has sent me a new binary compiled on PPC; any user of Tiger on Intel (Willi?) that would like to use the new beta should sent me his own binary. But in any case it would be great if somebody would figure out the reason why the new LuaTeX fails to work on older macs. Before we were first able to cross-compile, Arthur had to suggest quite some changes in LuaTeX source, so maybe some of newly added libraries or some configuration started messing up things recently. Based on some assumptions: - there are not too many Mac OS X 10.4 machines around - there are not too many testers of the latest-and-greatest LuaTeX version (apart from ConTeXt community) - if there appears to be a combination of both, users will either stick to some older TeX or at least they will compile luatex on their own (again, apart from ConTeXt community) I expect that there will probably not be much more feedback about the problem, but it would be really really great to fix it. I have no access to Tiger at the moment. I hope that Dick will be able to provide some more feedback once he comes to it. Until that is resolved: if osx-intel/osx-ppc users want to have a working version of minimals, you'll have to provide luatex version on your own.

Grid typesetting, colums and vertical spacing

Hello, I'm trying to typeset on the grid, but I also need to reduce vertical spacing around headings. Unfortunately when i specify the 'before/after' setting for head, grid typesetting fails. Is there any option to make \blank more flexible? (I'm using MKII) example: \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[backspace=0.5cm,topspace=0.5cm,top=0cm,footer=0.5cm, width=middle,height=middle,margin=0cm,header=0cm] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[utf8] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuphead[section][style={\bf}] \setuphead[section][before={\blank[halfline,flexible]}] % not working well % \setuphead[section][after={\blank[halfline,flexible]}] % not working well \starttext \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \definecolumnset[my][n=4,distance=1.2em,balance=yes] % balance not work \startcolumnset[my] \section{Pokus} \input knuth \input knuth \subsection{Pokus 2} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \subsection{Pokus 3} \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext greetings Jan -- Ing.

Is the normal(?) behaviour broken and the solution in your url a workaround? These are the context things which are very frustrating for a normal user and one may come to the conclusion that only the enlightend guru can use this system. Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, > title=yes, > titleleft=, > titleright=, Yeah, thanks! That's the title that makes it! Concerning \define... The answer is too witty for me, so I will leave the wiki page untouched. -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

The following example computes page numbers correctly, places the correct entries into the TOC, and produces the desired page headers on the first pages of chapters. However, there are some things it doesn't do properly: 1. It puts headers on blank pages at the ends of chapters even after I inserted the code that takes care of that problem. 2. It seems to ignore some commands or wait until the next chapter to implement them. An example is the header on page vi. It's supposed to read vi............................Contents 3. It seems that commands in the \startsectionenvironment frontmatter block are ignored or overridden by commands that are for the body part. That is why I have so many setup commands ib the \starttext section. %figure on left - chapter number and title on right \def\MyChapterCommandM#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\startfiguretext[left]{none} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.2\textwidth]} {\framed[frame=off,align=middle,width=broad] {\switchtobodyfont[15pt] #1\\\blank[small] #2}} \stopfiguretext} %no figure on left - chapter number and title on right \def\MyFrontMatterCommandM#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,align=middle,width=broad] {\switchtobodyfont[15pt] #1\\\blank[small] #2}} %eliminate headers on blank page at end of chapter \definepagebreak[mychapterpagebreak][yes,header,next] %put pagenumber on bottom of first page of chapter \definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapter,page=right] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definehead[mycontenttitle][chapter] \setuphead[mycontenttitle] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommandM, number=no,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=empty,page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in \placeinitial %comment out this line to eliminate drop capitals ] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][Content Example] \setuphead[chapter][page=mychapterpagebreak] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommandM,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=empty,page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in,before=\vskip 1.0in \placeinitial %comment out this line to eliminate drop capitals ] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=appendicespagebreak] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[state=start,alternative=doublesided,conversion=romannume rals] Some random text to occupy front matter pages. \blank[medium] \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \page[right] %\starthiding \setuphead[title] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommandM, number=no,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=pagenumber,page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in \placeinitial %comment out this line to eliminate drop capitals ] \setupheadertexts [Contents][pagenumber][pagenumber][Contents] \title{Content} %\stophiding %\mycontenttitle{Content} %displays Contents but drops the TOC \placecontent[alternative=c] \blank[medium] Random text added to push TOC onto a second page to test page headers. \blank[medium] \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][Content Example] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyFrontMatterCommandM, number=no,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=pagenumber,page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in \placeinitial %comment out this line to eliminate drop capitals ] \chapter{Preface} \input knuth \page[right] %switch from lower case Roman numberals to Arabic numbers \setuppagenumbering[state=start,alternative=doublesided,conversion=numbers] \setuppagenumber[state=start,number=1] \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommandM,textstyle=\ss\bf, header=empty,footer=pagenumber,page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand=\ss\bf\em\tfd,after=\vskip 0.5in,before=\vskip 1.0in \placeinitial %comment out this line to eliminate drop capitals ] \chapter{Introduction} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter One} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \chapter{Chapter Two} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startappendices \page[stop] \stopappendices \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
