mkii to mkiv - what an ancient user needs to know
by Duncan Hothersall 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi all. Long-time user but haven't posted in a long while... After many happy years of running a mkii set up I am finally facing the fact that time has moved on and upgrading to mkiv. I understand the biggest change needed to my sources is in the fonts handling, but I am getting a few other problems with things like chapter/sectioning setups that I can't see mentioned in https://www.contextgarden.net/MkIV_Differences I was wondering if there exists a comprehensive "what you have to change in your sources to move from mkii to mkiv" document anywhere or, failing that, if anyone can offer guidance on what has changed in the chapter/sectioning setups code between the two. Apologies for not supplying an example of code - I'm not yet at the point that that's possible. Any help much appreciated. And hello to anyone who remembers me from fifteen plus years ago! Duncan

by Hans van der Meer 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

This looks to me as an error in the LMTX distribution: tex error > tex error on line 6 in file /Users/hansm/TeX/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-dejavu.mkiv: ! Missing } inserted <inserted text> } <to be read again> \aligntab l.6 fontclass\aligntab \fontclass\cr Because running under my old ConTeXtBeta does not aborts with the error. system > ConTeXt ver: 2019.06.01 19:11 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.6.4 int: english/english I looked into that file but could not see what causes the error. dr.

question about lpath
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Dear list, I have the following lpath: [contains(@class,'level2') and not contains(@id,'sinopsis')] Is there no way to get something as "@id~='sinopsis'" (which intends to have the id attribute "not equal to" sinopsis) in an lpath?. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

What's the difference between \setupdirections[bidi=global, method=one] and \setupdirections[bidi=global, method=two]?
by Denis Maier 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hi, the subject line says it already. What's the difference between \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=one] and \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two]? In which case should I use `method=one`, when is `method=two` better? Best, Denis

CMYK Color profile
by Benjamin Koppe 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

Hello everyone, I'm about creating a DIN Lang Folder brochure with ConTEXt. I got everything set up the way I'd like it to. Now that I'm done with the work, I've been told the output pdf should have a CMYK Color profile embedded for the on demand printing service to be able to deal with the file... I am unsure what steps I have to take to make my output pdf compliant with CMYK. I don't even know how I could verify it does indeed have CMYK. Evince doesn't seem to show that info... So if anybdy of you could give me some hints, that's be wonderful. Cheers De Benny

XML in latest betas (MkIV & LMTX)
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

Dear list, I have just installed latest betas for both MkIV and LMTX. Compiling exactly the same XML sources (a book on ConTeXt in Spanish), MkIV needs 40s and LMTX more than 52s. This is the first time I get such a difference in compilation times. I’m afraid I can’t be sure that output is the same, since different spacing gives different page numbers. I wonder whether this might be an issue. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
