Commands \inmargin and \inouter not working

Dear list, After updating ConTeXt, commands \inmargin and \inouter do not work anymore. MWE: \starttext This is an example of a simple margin note set in the slanted font of the document. If used correctly, the note \inmargin{Here is a simple margin note.} should print on the side with the command \type {\inmargin} placed in the text. You will of course want to adjust your margins to accommodate the type. This is an example of a simple margin note set in the slanted font of the document.

Dear list, where can I find the sources of swiglib? The website [1] has absolutely no info on that and the links in Luigi's TUGboat paper [2] are all dead. Cheers, Henri [1] http://www.luatex.org/swiglib.html [2] https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb36-1/tb112scarso.pdf

Dear Henri Menke, Thank you for the solution. After inserting a line “save x, y;”, it works. Thank you so much. Best regards, Dalyoung

reading ConTeXt source code

I've tried to go through the ConTeXt source to see what the possible parameters of commands, the dependencies, inheritances and the defaults are. Is there any file where I can see the order in which all the .mkii / .mkiv files are read? RZ

metafun: error when I call the same function twice consecutively.

Hi, I defined a function using MetaFun, and call it to draw a figure. It is OK when I call it once. But there is an error when it runs the same function second time. (it stops when it call fap(3,2) after fap(2,2)) I have no idea what is wrong and how to fix it. Would you please tell me what I miss? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%% \startbuffer[test] numeric u; u := 1cm; path p[]; def fap(expr n, m) = numeric size; size := m*u; for i = 0 upto (n*n-1): z[i] = ((i mod n),(floor(i/n)))*size; drawdot z[i] withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor blue; endfor; enddef; fap(2,2); fap(3,2); \stopbuffer \starttext \processMPbuffer[test] \stoptext
