Section head placement wrong when the after key is used
by Marco Patzer 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi! In the following example the 2nd section head stays on page one when the “after” key is used. If the blackrule is commented out the section head moves to page two as intended. What's the reason the section head stays on the previous page when the “after” is used and how to fix this? \setuphead [section] [after=\blackrule] %% works as desired when commenting this one out \starttext \startsection [title=Foo] \samplefile{knuth} \stopsection \startsection [title=Bar] \framed[height=15cm]{} \samplefile{knuth} \stopsection \stoptext Marco

viewerprefix
by jbf 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi list, I have successfully managed to get a vertically-oriented page number in words in the margins, but NOT with the number prefixed by the word 'page'. I thought I would be able to do this by adding viewerprefix=Page (mentioned on the wiki for \setupuserpagenumber) but it gives me no result. Any thoughts on how I can achieve this? As I say, everything else works except the desired prefix. Current MWE: \def\mypagenumber#1% {\inframed[frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on,orientation=90]{#1}} \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=margin,command=\mypagenumber] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=words,viewerprefix=Page] \starttext \input Knuth \stoptext Julian

LMTX fails with custom tags (MkIV continues to work)
by Rik Kabel 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Documents fail with an error when they include \startelement[tagname]. This started on or before the 2020.11.17T12:42 LMTX update, and continues with 2020.11.18 19:16 LMTX. MkIV continues to work as expected. Example: \setelementbackendtag[myTag] \setelementnature[myTag][mixed] \starttext \startelement[myTag] % <--- This works with MkIV but fails with LMTX, complaining: {\tt tex error on line 17 in file G:/extract.mkvi: The file ended when scanning an argument.} It works in LMTX when marked lines are removed, but\unknown \stopelement % <--- \stoptext -- Rik

Hi, I uploaded a new version of lmtx (and mkiv). We're still in the process of migrating code from mkiv to lmtx (using new features). Anyway, I also uploaded a few more (preliminary) 'manuals' http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/lowlevel-macros.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/lowlevel-security.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/lowlevel-conditionals.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/lowlevel-boxes.pdf but some is work in progress. It shows a bit how things evolve(d) and what ws and i are dealing with now. More (details) in due time.

reusableMPgraphic not working
by Bruce Horrocks 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Just working through the Metafun manual and have hit a problem. In the following MWE the green circle appears but the blue one doesn't. Surely reusable graphics must be so commonly used that it has to be me that's doing something wrong? (Context version is: 2020.11.05 23:01) \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{name1} fill fullcircle scaled 100pt withcolor green ; \stopuseMPgraphic Green circle: \useMPgraphic{name1} \startreusableMPgraphic{name2} fill fullcircle scaled 100pt withcolor blue ; \stopreusableMPgraphic Blue circle:\reuseMPgraphic{name2} \stoptext -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

MacOS+TeXlive: installation problems
by Tomas Hala 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hi all, one student of mine asked me for a help with installation TeXlive (from http://www.tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html) on her MacBook Air 16 with macOS Catalina. Despite the fact that the site states "All install packages are developer-signed and notarized by Apple.", she got: "Cannot be opened because its from unidentified developer, MacOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware." What could it be? I have got no experience with MacOS, so I would like to ask for some hints how we can fix it. Thanks in advance. Best wishes, Tomáš
