\setupcolumnsetlines does not work again
by Sytse Knypstra 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

I thought I understood the mechanism, but I found another instance where \setupcolumnsetlines does not give the desired result: %%%%%%%%%%% \definecolumnset[Two][n=2] \starttext Test %\page \setupcolumnsetlines[Two][1][1][9] \startcolumnset[Two] \input knuth \stopcolumnset \setupcolumnsetlines[Two][1][1][9] \startcolumnset[Two] \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%% This setup gives indeed a balanced first page and an unbalanced second page. But if the fourth line (\page) is uncommented, the second output page is unbalanced and the third page is balanced. So the mechanism is therefore more complicated than > only if the first columnset extends to more than one page > the next \setupcolumnsetlines will work properly. What is the extended rule? If this intended behaviour, what is the reason behind it?

Bug in lmtx with \Bbb
by Otared Kavian 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hi Hans, It seems that there is a bug in the handling of Blackboard Bold, in the latest lmtx (version 2019.08.02 19:40). The following gives the attached PDF file. However the same file typesets correctly in the latest mkiv beta. Thanks for your attention: OK \starttext The set of integers is denoted ${\Bbb N}$. \stoptext

Bug in lmtx in display mathmode
by Otared Kavian 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hi Hans, I have a long document which typesets correctly with mkiv, but I get a (cryptic for me…) fatal error message when I try to typeset it in lmtx: ! error: (nodes): trying to delete an attribute reference of a non attribute list node 4476mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 I could finally find the origin of the error, which is exposed in the following example: if you comment out the part from \startformula ... \stopformula, the file typesets correctly. But with this part, one gets the above error message, the culprit being \liminfbar which is defined in the first line. Note that \liminfbar is accepted when it is inline math. Best regards: OK %%% begin bug-math-lmtx.tex \definemathcommand[liminfbar][limop] {\underline{\mfunctionlabeltext{lim}}} \starttext If $(u_{n})_{n}$ is a sequence of real numbers, we define its {\it limit inferior}, denoted $\liminfbar$ by setting: \startformula a_{n} := \inf\{u_{k} \; ; \; k \geq n \}, \qquad\text{and then}\quad \liminfbar_{n\to\infty} u_{n} := \sup_{n \geq 1} a_{n}. \stopformula \stoptext %%% end bug-math-lmtx.tex

Cross referencing by using \useexternaldoument

Hi all, there is an old thread concerning this issue from september 2015. It appears unfortunately, that this issue persists. You can reference to places inside a document, but references to an outside document are broken. The links do not work and no page numbers or texts are typeset from the external document. Can someone help me to solve this?

Thank you, now I understand the mechanism: only if the first columnset extends to more than one page, the next \setupcolumnsetlines will work properly. Is this a bug or a feature? If it is a feature, what is the idea behind it? Sytse

Thank you, Denis and Wolfgang. Wolfgang, your sentence > No, you set relative numbers (I checked it) but the first columnset > environment ends on the third page because you leave just enough > space on the second page to fit the text which produces an empty > third page. is not clear to me. If \setupcolumnsetlines has to be specified before \starttext and if the second parameter denotes the absolute page number of the column to be limited, then the following example still does not work correctly for the second page (ouput consists of two pages). \definecolumnset[Two][n=2]  \setupcolumnsetlines[Two][1][1][9]  \setupcolumnsetlines[Two][2][1][9]  \starttext   \startcolumnset[Two]  \input knuth   \stopcolumnset   \startcolumnset[Two]   \input knuth   \stopcolumnset  \stoptext Sytse > Op 17 augustus 2019 om 15:14 schreef Denis Maier <maier.de(a)gmail.com>: > > > Ok, have tried it now.

Booklet layout 2UP is not working with lmtx for me. MWE: under mkiv I get all 4 booklet pages laid out for two-sided print and fold. \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP,doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\input tufte \blank} \dorecurse{3}{\input bryson \blank} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward \blank} \stoptext context —version: mtx-context | main context file: /users/kitz/ctxmkiv/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.04.25 10:36 MNWE: When I switch to lmtx, only booklet pages 1 and 4 are set and repeated on next page. context —version: mtx-context | main context file: /users/kitz/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2019.08.17 12:16 There seems to be flushing of pages going on under lmtx. Thanks for any help. Kitz
