Is t-vim still available in LMTX?
by seasoul 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Dear List, I just installed LMTX and start to use. I found t-vim is not installed even I use "modules = all”. So is t-vim still supported and could be used as usual? Or there is the plan to develop a core function to pretty printing? -- Yours Sincerely Diego

List, The following example works as expected with MKIV but fails for me with LMTX. \setuppapersize[A7] \setuppagenumbering [location=] \definelayer [pageNumber][ x=\dimexpr\pagewidth-\cutspace\relax, y=\topspace, width=\pagewidth, height=\pageheight, ] \startsetups [setupPage] \setlayer[pageNumber] {\hskip\leftmargindistance \inframed[frame=off,leftframe=on,loffset=1em]{\userpage}} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page] [setups=setupPage, background=pageNumber] \starttext \page[empty] \stoptext -- Rik

additional space with sidebar and narrower
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Ahoi, I’m trying to mark examples in a book with indent (\startnarrower) and a rule in the margin (\startsidebar). Each of those works on its own as it should, but combined there’s an additional empty line before and after introduced that I can’t get rid of. Any hints? \starttext \input tufte \startsidebar \startnarrower \input knuth \stopnarrower \stopsidebar \input tufte \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

name of cache used by mkiv and lmtx
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hi, I am currently using mkiv and lmtx in parallel and noticed that both use the same texmf-cache subdirectory. Running: mtxrun --script cache --list gives mtx-cache | writable path: /home/adityam/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e mtx-cache | mtx-cache | tma : 59 mtx-cache | tmc : 59 mtx-cache | rest : 35 mtx-cache | total : 153 mtx-cache | on both distributions. A consequence of this is that whenever I switch distributeions the font used in the document gets "compiled" and "dumped", i.e., I get messages: system > lua > compiling '/home/adityam/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/fonts/otl/lmroman12-regular.tma' into '/home/adityam/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/fonts/otl/lmroman12-regular.tmc' system > lua > dumping '/home/adityam/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/fonts/otl/lmroman12-regular.tma' into '/home/adityam/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/fonts/otl/lmroman12-regular.tmc' stripped fonts > otf loading > loading '/opt/context-minimals/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf', hash 'lmroman12-regular' Is there a way to avoid that? I can, of course, set different values of TEXMFCACHE for both distributions, but does it make sense to to use a different hash (5fe67e...) for the two? Thanks, Aditya

Undefined symbol lua_gettop
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hi, I am experimenting with using lua libraries with lmtx. I tried the following: 1. Download the lcomplex library (from http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/ar/lcomplex-100.tar.gz) 2. Untar and modify the Makefile so that LUA_TOPDIR points to the right location (/usr in my case). 3. Run make. This creates a complex.so file in the current directory. 4. Create a test file (and put complex.so in the same directory) \starttext \startluacode local complex=require("complex") z = complex.new(1,1); context("The absolute value of $z=%f + j%f$ is $%f$", z:real(), z:imag(), z:abs()); \stopluacode \stoptext This file runs correctly with mkiv, but when I try to run it with lmtx, I get the error lua error > lua error on line 8 in file /home/adityam/Software/lcomplex/lcomplex-100/test.tex: ...etatex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/l-package.lua:325: error loading module 'complex' from file './complex.so': ./complex.so: undefined symbol: lua_gettop Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

LMTX: 32-bit binaries for 64-bit system
by Christian Prim 06 Apr '19

06 Apr '19

Hello Today I tried to update the lmtx-installation on 64-bit Linux. The update worked fine, but now I get: # context /home/username/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context: No such file or directory Same for mtxrun. Redo a fresh install doesn't work either. # ./install.sh /install.sh: 94: ./install.sh: /home/username/test/bin/mtxrun: not found Digging in the problem I found, that the 64-bit installer has 32-bit binaries. The same as in the 32-bit installation. On a system with compatibility libraries the new install works, but on a pure 64-bit system there is a problem. Could you please fix or tell me what I miss. Thanks Christian PS.: My architecture was correctly detected: platform : linux-64 # file mtxrun -- gives for the file in the installer ( http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip) mtxrun: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=729a29022162787ac1c5e5e48353a6ec37cce6b7, stripped Exactly same sha1 as for 32-bit Linux mtxrun

Cascaded description
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 06 Apr '19

06 Apr '19

Hello, I'm trying to get nested descriptions (using "tab") to form a "cascade". The result should look like: AAA ababababababab ababababababab BBB ababababab ababababab CCC ababab ababab <--> indent (margin?) of the first nested description in relation to its parent should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "AAA ", <--> indent (margin?) of the second nested description in relation to its parent should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "BBB ", <------> so it should be width of "AAA " + 'width of "BBB " in total. I'm not able to achieve this. My code so far is (and I also played with various combinations of alternative, margin, hang, indent...): ---- \starttext A \bgroup \setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123,width=fit,alternative=left] \starttab{abc} \input knuth \starttab{def} \input knuth \stoptab \stoptab \egroup \bgroup \setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123456,width=fit,alternative=hanging] \starttab{ghijkl} \input knuth \starttab{mnopqr} \input knuth \stoptab \stoptab \egroup \stoptext ---- - Paragraphs of "abc" and "def": size of indentation of the paragraphs is good in relation to width of head, but paragraph "def" is not "cascaded". - Paragraphs "ghijkl" and "mnopqr" are "cascaded" well; but width of (margin?) is any - it is not related to the width of the sample text. So how to combine both approaches to get the desired result? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Re: [NTG-context] follow up

Dear Hans, I have installed both ConTeXt LMTX and ConTeXt MKIV side by side. But I have a problem to run it. If it is OK to run a file in LMTX environment, then I got a following error when I run it in MKIV environment. “I can’t fine a file …../defFonts.tex” even though it is there. To resolve it, I run “mtxrun —generate” in MKIV. But it invoke the same type error in LMTX. Here are the command in Atom editor which I use to run it. LMTX: source /Users/graph/ConTeXtLMTX/tex/setuptex; context {filePath} MKIV: source /Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex; context {filePath} I may avoid it by adding “mtxrun —generate” before compiling it. But it isn’t a good solution. I think that there is a better way to do this. Would you please tell me how to fix it or what is a better way? Thank you for reading.
