LuaTeX & printf() function ?
by Vnpenguin 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi, Here is my test: =================================================== \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \usetypescript[postscript] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \startformula K = \frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2} = \frac{355}{14}= \ctxlua{tex.print(355/14)} \stopformula \stoptext =================================================== It works well and give me result = 25,357142857143. In order to obtain 2 decimal number I tried: \startformula K = \frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2} = \frac{355}{14}= \ctxlua{tex.printf("%0.2f",355/14)} \stopformula But it does not work. Here is the error: tex.printf("\doplaceformulanumber \stopdisplaymath \global \let \gdef \ETC. ! File ended while scanning text of \zerocount. <inserted text> } <*> ./test-lua.tex ? Another try: \startformula K = \frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2} = \frac{355}{14}= \ctxlua{tex.print(string.format("%0.2f",355/14))} \stopformula gives me the same error. So is there really a function printf() in LuaTeX engine ? Thanks

beta
by Hans Hagen 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This is a prelude to an end-of-the-month current that will be released along with luatex 0.61. This release supports tagged pdf, but it will go unnoticed if you don't have full acrobat. Tagging is enabled with: \setupstructure[state=start] Normally tagging takes place automatically but you can add your own using \startelement[whatever] ... \stopelement and labels can be changed with \setuptaglabeltext [en] [elementname=yourfavourite].

Damage of installation of context mkiv
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hallo all, When I tried to update the new version of ConTeXt into texlive 2009 (uploading new files to BIN directory and run commands ctxtools --update, texexec --make --all and luatools --generate), then ConTeXt MKIV stopped working and I failed to return original state. What happened and how to fix?? I get this message, when I run context: MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: warning: no lua configuration files found MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Thanx, Jaroslav
