How to update LMTX?
by Henri Menke 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Dear list, With ConTeXt standalone there was an easy way to update the install script and the distrivution using rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . sh ./first-setup.sh --context=latest --engine=luatex --modules=all --fonts=all For LMTX it seems that I have to download the zip from http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm, extract it and then run install.sh to account for possibly updated installation scripts. Is there a resource where I can download the (unzipped) install script and binaries via rsync directly? On another note, it seems that I can't install modules and fonts in LMTX. When running mtxrun --script mtx-install.lua --help I can see the options --modules and --fonts but running bin/mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-install.lua --update --server="..." --instance="..." --modules=all --fonts=all seems to have no effect. How do I install modules and fonts? Cheers, Henri

Archlinux package for luametatex
by Aditya Mahajan 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hi, I create a archlinux AUR for luametatex: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/luametatex/ Those using archlinux can now use their favorite AUR helper to install luametatex. It installs the files in /opt/luametatex and has the following features: 1. If texlive is installed, a symlink to '/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts' is created at '/opt/luametatex/texmf-fonts/fonts'. This way, all fonts installed via texlive are available in context. 2. It context minimals is installed via AUR, a symlink to '/opt/context-minimals/texmf-modules' is created at 'opt/luametatex/texmf-modules'. So, all the context modules are available. 3. A setuptex file is created at /opt/luametatex/setuptex. So, it is easier to switch back and forth between lmtx and mkiv. Aditya

beta
by Hans Hagen 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hi, I uploaded a new beta (as we're now post current again). The lmtx installation is normally also updated in sync but sometimes can be a bit ahead as I myself use that as default.

Drawing scaled externalfigure in Metapost produces erroneous size in the latest beta
by Thorsten S. 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hello! The simple Metapost code that follows worked fine until upgrading to recent beta. I don't have a clue exactly when this behaviour was introduced since I switched just recently from the standard Texlive version available in Arch Linux. \starttext \startMPcode draw externalfigure "test.pdf" scaled 10mm; \stopMPcode \stoptext Now it produces a graphic with size of approximately 110 mm at least in my system with various test files which previously scaled just fine.. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Thorsten S.

index "compress" option / collapsing of page numbers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Ahoi, with \setupregister[compress=yes], index entries 1,2,3,4 become 1–4. That’s great. But (at least in German publications) it’s usual that 1,2 becomes 1f. and 1,2,3 becomes 1ff. Is it possible to configure it that way? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Fwd: Announcing Season of Docs 2019
by Mojca Miklavec 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi, This is just to let you know that Google started accepting applications for organisations that want to participate in "Google season of docs", offering stipends to technical writers to work full time on improving documentation of open source projects. See also a list of sample ideas: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/project-ideas (but maybe some improvement of the writing tools could also count, I don't know). Participation is not limited to students this time. Is any of the TeX user groups interested in participating? Mojca ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: 'sttaylor' via Google Summer of Code Mentors List Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 at 23:32 We’re delighted to announce the inaugural year of Season of Docs, a Google program that fosters collaboration between open source projects and technical writers. Season of Docs is similar to Summer of Code, but with a focus on open source documentation and technical writers. Details are on our website: g.co/seasonofdocs <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/>. Would you like to take part as an open source mentor in the inaugural year of Season of Docs? Open source organizations can start thinking now about the projects you’d like a technical writer to work on. Take a look at the examples of project ideas <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/project-ideas>. Reach out to your community members to see who’d like to be a mentor for Season of Docs. As a mentor, you don’t need technical writing skills. Instead, you're a member of the open source organization who knows the value of good documentation and who is experienced in open source processes and tools. See the guidelines on working with a technical writer <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-collaboration>. Organization applications open on April 2, 2019. See the full timeline <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline> on the Season of Docs website. >From April 30, Technical writers can explore the list of participating open source organizations and their project ideas. Technical writers bring their skills in designing and developing documentation to the open source organization. Technical writer applications open on April 30. The list of accepted technical writing projects is announced on July 30. Please do tweet and blog about Season of Docs if you’d like to share the news. We want as many people to know about it as possible. We’ve provided logos that you can download and some example content on the press page <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/press>. We’re looking forward to an exciting pilot of the Season of Docs program! If you have any questions about the program, please email us at season-of-docs-support(a)googlegroups.com. Best regards Sarah Maddox, Andrew Chen and the Season of Docs team

Luametatex
by Dmitry Starostin 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

To sum up problems of setting up after installing context-lmtx (context mkiv on my machine is gone, so these are quite pressing questions): Some were addressed, but I cannot resolve them 1. luametatex: works as intended from within TexShop, but 'command not found' from terminal $CONTEXTHOME/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/even after chmod 755. What to source? 2. ./luametatex 'no format given' 3. there used to be context --run, now there isn't.

Re: [NTG-context] follow up

Dear Hans and Alan, First, thanks for your wonderful work! I followed your instruction to install ConTeXt LMTX. For the record, I wrote what I did. Any comment is welcome to improve my installation. - create directory: ConTeXtLMTX - download install files. - run “sudo sh ./install.sh” - after a long lists, installation is done without errors. The following settings were used: server : lmtx.contextgarden.net,lmtx.pragma-ade.com,lmtx.pragma-ade.nl instance : install-lmtx extras : ownpath : /Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX platform : osx-64 - I copied my local files from “texmf-local” in ConTeXt MKIV and run mtxrun - Recently, I am using Atom as an editor. I installed “process-pallete” packge and create a command as following: source /Users/graph/ConTeXtLMTX/tex/setuptex; context {filePath} - At the first run, I got "permission denied” message. /Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luametatex: Permission denied - So I change the permission of luametatex as 755. - After that I tested the sample file which is given in the installation.pdf - Also there is no error when I compile my file which is good in ConTeXt MKIV. - However, there is no simpleslide module. Of course, there is no "module/third” folder. Thus I couldn’t compile a file in screen mode. I hope that I have done it right. I have a question. Is it better to use"/Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf …" instead of “context {filePath}"? Thank you for reading.

LMTX deeptextcommand issue

lmtx doesn't search texmf-local
by Henri Menke 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Dear list, I have installed LMTX into /opt/context-lmtx/ and placed my favourite fonts into /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/ as I also did in ConTeXt standalone. I would expect LMTX to find the newly installed otf files after regenerating the file tree but that is not the case, see my terminal log below. Do I have to do it differently for LMTX? Cheers, Henri --- $ ls /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bh/lucidaot/LucidaBrightOT.otf /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bh/lucidaot/LucidaBrightOT.otf $ mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/opt/context-lmtx/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/opt/context-lmtx' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/opt' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'context-lmtx' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | using configuration specification 'home:texmf/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/henri/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/home/henri/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | mtxrun | elapsed lua time: 0.011 seconds $ mtxrun --find-file LucidaBrightOT.otf
