Would Multiple Processes Cause: luatex: execution interrupted
by Raymond LeClair 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I run context in a task queue with four worker processes. It is possible that context is invoked simultaneously to process distinct input files by tasks running in separate worker processes. I see periodic fatal errors, as follows: mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted However, the same input files can be processed by context directly without errors. Is it possible that context running in simultaneous but separate processes conflict? This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277) ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.2 int: english/english

Fifth ConTeXt meeting, September 2011, France
by Arthur Reutenauer 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hello everyone, This must be the second thread I initiate this year on the list, but unlike my previous post (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048296.html) this is actually serious. I hereby announce the next ConTeXt meeting, that will take place on the island of Porquerolles off the coast of the French Riviera, from Monday, September 19th, 2011, to Saturday, September 24th. The conference venue has been pre-booked for these dates, so this is firm. Of course, there is yet nothing like a set program at this moment, so we're expecting your proposals (there will be a formal call for papers later). Watch this page: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/ Registration is not yet open, but will be in a few weeks. The fee is notably higher than it was for the previous ConTeXt meetings (see http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/fee.shtml) I'm sorry about that, but that is the best I can do in this place, short of feeding on black roots and camping in the woods or on the beach (which is forbidden anyway on the island, it's a protected area apart for the village). But food will instead be excellent, obviously, and wine is included in the price of the meals (that was actually one of the first things I was told by the people at the conference venue). See you in Porquerolles! Arthur

[NTG-context]Make a larger trademark?
by seasoul 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I konw the registered trademark can get from \registered, or simply add ® in MKIV. But it seems the symbol is very small, appreaing in the superscript. How to make it in a normal text size, just as \copryright or ©.

two statements or one?
by Hans van der Meer 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

In lxml-tab.lua I find near the beginning the line: local trace_entities = false trackers.register("xml.entities", function(v) trace_entities = v end) Shouldn't there be a ; or newline between the two statments? Hans van der Meer

context.labeltext(...)
by Willi Egger 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hi all, experimenting with context.labeltext... My question is how can I tweak the context.labeltext(text) command at the lua-side to make ConTeXt to typeset the labeltext starting with an uppercase letter? e.g. if "text" contains "january" to display "January"? KR Willi

' not working anymore
by Hans van der Meer 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Could it be that in xml-processing ' and friends are dead? Where formerly these were treated correctly, now from "'" there results "apos". I seem to remember that this was an earlier problem, solved in the meantime and now popping up again. Hans van der Meer

Fwd: Newlines in a table cel

Sorry Hans. I send it to you instead of to the list. And I forgot the files.

I did not find this. Did I not look good enough? Attached a tex and a pdf file. It shows the original and your solution, but also the preferred solution. (But hard coded, not with a macro.) Would it be possible to get the preferred solution in a macro? -- Cecil Westerhof -- Cecil Westerhof

Newlines in a table cel
by Cecil Westerhof 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

I have a macro to display MVC (model-view-controller) info: \define[3]\MVC{ \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC \Important[Model]: \NC #1 \NC\NR \NC \Important[View]: \NC #2 \NC\NR \NC \Important[Controller]: \NC #3 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \myblank } Sometimes the info is very long. Now it is displayed in one long line that scrolls off the screen. How can I change this. Ideally would be if I could give in the macro call where a new line should start, but just automatically formatted would be good enough. -- Cecil Westerhof
