\WORD regression
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

\starttext \WORD{größer} \stoptext \WORD used to handle "ß" correctly, i.e. convert it to "SS"; now it makes "sS". (If the current font contains an uppercase ß that would be even better, but those are rare). I can’t tell when it changed (some LMTX versions ago) and can’t check MkIV, since "mtxrun --generate --luatex" doesn’t work. Hraban

xml processing: if elseif else / switch case
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Hi, I was wondering whether we have tests similar to <if-else if-else> or <switch case> in context's xml processing. (And even in context more general...) I have found these doifelse tests, but elseif doesn't seem to exist. Is that correct? If yes, could that be added? Of course, you can always just nest doifelse-constructs, but that will become ugly quickly. Being able to specify multiple branches would be handy. Best, Denis

Problem with log coordinates in metafun graph module
by Jean-Philippe Rey 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Dear list, Log coordinates seem to be broken in the last version of ConTeXt/metafun/graph. Here is my failing example =================================== \usemodule[graph] \starttext \startMPcode{graph} draw begingraph(100mm, 100mm); setcoords(log, linear); % works fine with setcoords(linear, linear); gdraw (1e-3, 10) -- (10, 30); endgraph; \stopMPcode \stoptext =================================== which produces nothing but works with ConTeXt ver: 2021.01.05 10:45 LMTX. You will find attached the log file which contains metafun > log > error: A primary expression can't begin with ',' Thank you for your help. -- 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

Dear Hans, Bruce Horrocks, I test the file using MacVim and confirm that it works fine. Thus, something happened in my system or environment of vscode. I may reinstall vscode. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Dear Bruce Horrocks, Thank you for your test. I have moved the file to the local and run it. But the result is same. However, since your try worked well, the problem is mine not LMTX. I am using the editor “vscode”, and there may be something changed in my system recently. I’ll try using other editors. Thank you.

Dear Hans, >> Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/texMain/ColumnsetTest.tex''" terminated >> with exit code: 1.* > no clue ... does lmtx also fail? is it an apple binary issue? I am running LMTX now. It opens and closes "*-newcolumnsets.mkiv” files(we can find the lines in the log file). I also tested the files which had no problem a month ago, but got the same error message now. I reinstalled context and test it. But the result is same. I am going to test it more. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

using the newcolumnsets module
by Jeong Dal 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Dear all, I made an exam form by the help of the experts in this list. However, it was not working after recent update. Here is a code which I made for the test. If I use “\startcolumns \stopcolumns”, then it has no problem. But using “\startcolumnset[exam] … \stopcolumnset” produces error message “return code 11”. It loads “m-newcolumnset.tex” without problem. What is the cause of this error? Thank you for reading.
