I know that I can just modify "cont-en.mkxl" or > "context.mkxl", but those can be overwritten by updates. no, these files are always read runtime (when present); personally i only use cont-loc fdor things like this: \enablemode[atpragma] \enablemode[*allfonts] \enabletrackers[pages.timing] % \enabletrackers[system.usage=summary] and there is very little in cont-new while in cont-exp i only have some features or optimizations enabled that i run for a while before they become default we're not going to add features that preloads extra stuff. i don't even want to think about possible interference because who knows what those systems set and do, and there's also order involved; i can even imagine that one then has to bump token memory. also, from the perspective of support it is handy to know that a standardized format is used normally loading files is fast enough once the os has them cached and afaiks tikz is not the fastest subsystem anyway so that probably impacts runtime anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

by Willi Egger 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

Hello! I have a ConTeXt Lua Document where I need to have headertexts. When running the enclosed file I get 6 pages where only page 1 and 2 have header texts and the others none. — Why is that? Thanks for hints! Kind regards Willi

faltal error: return code: 1
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

Hans, using latest from today (and the previous one) with the following source: \starttext \doloopoverlist{\tf,\ss,\tt} {\bgroup\recursestring% \doloopoverlist{\tf,\it,\bf,\bi,\sc} {\bgroup\recursestring\dorecurse{26} {\character{\recurselevel}̱ }\par}\egroup} \stoptext I get the following error: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 But when checking the sources, no error is found: $ mtxrun --script check test-file.tex no error Just in case it helps, creators are "LuaMetaTeX 2.10 20220818 + ConTeXt LMTX 2022.08.25 17:43". I don’t know whether I’m missing something (in that case, the error message should be more verbose). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

metafun paralleled does not give a parallel path

The following used to produce three parallel lines. Now it produces one straight line and two arcs. \starttext \startMPcode z0 = origin; z1 = 72dir(45); dotlabel.bot("z0", z0); draw z0--z1; draw (z0--z1) paralleled -15 withcolor red; draw (z0--z1) paralleled 15 withcolor blue; \stopMPcode \stoptext

Question to footnote settings
by Tomáš Hála 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

Hi all, I am struggling with the width of a footnote number area. I would like to ask how can I set it dynamically based on the width of the largest number on a given page. Without width I get two different footnote texts widths (compare #9+10). With width there is a redundant space on the left (see p. 1). (Number alignment to the right is required.) Thanks in advance for some hints. Tomáš MWE: \setupnotation[footnote][ alternative=left, width=1em, numbercommand={\hfill\high}, ] \starttext \showframe[text][text] \dorecurse{6}{This is a text.\footnote{\dorecurse{12}{Blah blah blah. }} } \page \dorecurse{6}{This is a text.\footnote{\dorecurse{12}{Blah blah blah. }} } \stoptext

How can I make a Gentoo Linux package for ConTeXt LMTX?
by amano.kenji 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

TexLive has texmfcnf.lua that doesn't really work with texlive-context installed by linux distributions. Arch Linux has its own patched version of texmfcnf.lua. It seems I'd be better off with a linux package for ConTeXt LMTX. How can I build and install ConTeXt LMTX on Gentoo Linux or any linux distribution? I wish it was as simple as ./configure, make, and make install.

Curling straight quotation marks
by Thangalin 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

Hey folks, I re-wrote the algorithm KeenWrite uses for curling straight quotes. The new algorithm is fairly robust with respect to North American and British English. Could use help finding edge cases: https://whitemagicsoftware.com/keenquotes/ I use it for preprocessing documents prior to passing them to ConTeXt. Cheers!
