I have tried this on a XP machine, but I got LuaTeX 0.79.1 and context 2013.11.01 (which I had bevor the mtxrun on that machine). I also tried the above command without the --update option. But same result. Wolfgang

Context meeting 8 in Bassenge-Poires
by Willi Egger 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Good evening! The next Context meeting (nr 8) will be held from 8 september until 13 september in Bassenge-Poires (Belgium). This place is situated in a beautiful valley between Liège and Maastricht. We will reside in a castle like building and wil have all the premises to our disposition. In september we expect still nice weather and fine temperatures. With other words it is the most suitable place to hold the Context-meeting! In addition to getting your questions answered, the meeting is the perfect place to discuss current and future developments. In that respect: don't hesitate to bring up topics! The sooner the better (so that they can be announced and prepared). Please consider to join the community at this unique place. - If you register quickly you still can register as an early bird. If you are a first-time attendee you will get an extra discount! Please check-out the meeting’s website at http://meeting.contextgarden.net/. We hope to see you in Bassenge and we are looking forward to cook together… Kind regards Will Egger Secretary CG

chapter title does not show on header.
by john Culleton 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

I copied \setupheadertexts etc. straight from the wiki with one change. For the fourth parameter instead of chapter I substituted \Titlea, which contains the title of the book. That part works, But the word chapter as a parameter doesn't. Here is my pertinent code: \def\Titlea{Scribus Index Feature } ... \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[leftstyle=bold,rightstyle=bold] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[chapter]}] [{page \pagenumber}] [{page \pagenumber}] [{\Titlea}] \setuppagenumbering[location=] ... \setuppagenumbering[command=\bf] \definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber] \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no] \definepagebreak [mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header,right] ... \chapter{Summary} etc. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

This switch makes not much sens if it is not working with older versions. Wolfgang

Hallo Hans, > Any reason to stick to windows 2000? Do you want to run old > experimental luatex? There is no question without a reason! At least mtxrun.exe should work with older Windows versions! So I could do mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --update --make -- context=2012-12-09 --texroot=%CONTEXTROOT% %* to fetch an older version. Wolfgang

Letter module
by Mo Abrahams 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hello, Is there any updated documentation for the letter/correspondence module? All I can find is version 2010.08.27 and I can see from this list that things have changed, I just don't know where to find out what. Also, can anyone tell me how to remove the label above the date, how to add a pdf containing my letterheading as the page background, and how to add a horizontal line between the backaddress and the toaddress? For the page background I currently have: \setupletter[ backgroundimage={letterhead} ] but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried adding the file extension. Thanks, Mo.
