Ligatures now work. However, diacritics aren't properly placed even using "features=arabic" (they appear below letters in LMTX). ConTeXt MkIV still gives correct output. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I uploaded a next iteration of lmtx. From now on there are dedicated sub directories for mklx and mpxl, which is an indication that we're on the way to a full code split.

Hello, running in circles I have to give up on such an easy thing as passing a tex variable to lua (knowing everything is stored in lua). \setvariable{test}{something}{HHHH} \starttext \getvariable{test}{something}\par % how to access the variable on lua end? \startluacode -- var = \stopluacode \stoptext Thank you, Jano

Unexpected underbar behaviour in sections
by Bruce Horrocks 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

The following is giving me a section title with triple underbars instead of single. \definehead [Heading] [section] \setuphead [Heading] [style={\underbar}] \starttext \Heading{First level section heading} \underbar{This is single underlined as expected} \stoptext (Same with \startHeading .. \stopHeading and for subsections, which is where I first noticed it.) It looks quite attractive in its own way - and certainly acts as a visual highlight - just not quite what I was expecting. ;-) version 2020.11.24 00:41 -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

startCSV Wiki, Natural Table
by Fabrice L 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Hi, I was using in the past (MKII) a snippet of code to produce (natural) tables from CSV. I was trying to compile my code with MKIV, but this does not work anymore. As a matter of fact, it doe snot work at all, nor MKII, nor MKIV (probably my error !). So I came back to the wiki, where my code came from, and the code below is just a copy for the wiki. It is supposed to make a table with three columns, but there is only one column in the resulting table… I admit I do not understand the code, but is there is missing \eTR somewhere ? Thanks for any help. Fabrice. Ps: in case someone is interested, I use this to produce statistical tables for teaching. I can share.. ! % ------------------------------------------------------ \starttext % Iterate over all the lines of text captured with \obeylines active % command to call is first argument, is not called for empty lines \bgroup \obeylines \gdef\ProcessLines#1#2{\doProcessLines{#1}#2^^M\doProcessLines}% \gdef\doProcessLines#1#2^^M#3\doProcessLines{% \doifnotempty{#2}{#1{#2}}% \doifnotempty{#3}{\doProcessLines{#1}#3\doProcessLines}% }% \egroup \def\startCSV{\bgroup\obeylines\dostartCSV} \def\TBLentry#1{\bTD#1\eTD} \def\TBLline#1{\bTR\processcommalist[#1]\TBLentry} \def\dostartCSV#1\stopCSV{% \bTABLE \ProcessLines\TBLline{#1}% \eTABLE \egroup } % some additional settings for the table may be made as well \setupTABLE[c][2][style=\tt] \setupTABLE[c][3][align=middle] \setupTABLE[r][1][style=bold] \startCSV Name,Email,Accepted \CONTEXT,worth(a)trying.to,Yes Hans,main(a)developer.of,Yes Bug,get(a)rid.of,No \stopCSV \stoptext

LMTX and descriptions
by Jean-Philippe Rey 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Dear list, I am switching from MLIV to LMTX and I've found a problem with descriptions. Here is an example of the problem. ============================== \definedescription[D] \starttext \D{Label} description % Label is not printed \startD{Label} % OK, but pb with the following table description \stopD \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Label \eTH % The first line is located on the left at the bottom of the table, TD works OK. \eTR\bTR \bTD value \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ============================== The short syntax "\D{Label} description" doesn't print "Label" at all. The syntax with \start, \stop works fine but has a nasty effect on the next TABLE if it uses TH (check attached pdf). Thank you for your help PS @Hans, thanks for adding \TB to \startcases, it works perfectly well. -- Jean-Philippe Rey jean-philippe.rey(a)centralesupelec.fr 91192 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex - France Empreinte PGP : 807A 5B2C 69E4 D4B5 783A 428A 1B5E E83E 261B BF51

bTABLEhead not working

This worked for me a couple of versions ago but not under 2020.11.24 00:41. The headings are being printed as ordinary text at the top of the table rather than framed. \starttext \bTABLE[split=yes, header=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH AAAAA \eTH \bTH BBBBB \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD 0 \eTD \bTD zzz\eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
