problem with LMTX on Linux: need to execute install.sh twice
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Hi, When I reinstall LMTX on my linux 64 system, the first executing install.sh gives the error message: tex error > tex error on line 34 in file /home/garfileo/public/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/type-set.mkiv: ! I can't find file `type-imp-latinmodern.mkiv'. so I have to execute install.sh again to finish the installation. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

Typeset multiple pictures not in a strict matrix (\startfloatcombination)
by Gerion Entrup 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Hi, I'm trying to typeset several pictures as a floatcombination but not in the form of strict cells of a matrix. Here is some ASCII art to demonstrate the positions of the pictures: --------------------------- | | | | --------------------------- a) Some caption ------------ ------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------ ------------- b) foo c) foo Figure 1.1: Foo Bar I tried to typeset it with this code (based on https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/502903) \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcombinations[alternative=text] \definefloat[subfigure][local=yes] \setupcaption[subfigure][numberconversion=a] \setuplabeltext[subfigure=] \appendvalue{stopplacefigure}{\resetcounter[subfigure]} \starttext \startplacefigure[title=Test] \startfloatcombination[nx=1, ny=2] \startplacesubfigure[title=Test] \externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm] \stopplacesubfigure \startfloatcombination[nx=2, ny=1] \startplacesubfigure[title=Test] \externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm] \stopplacesubfigure \startplacesubfigure[title=Test] \externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm] \stopplacesubfigure \stopfloatcombination \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext However, this does not work (the pictures are all in one row). Do you have some advice? Gerion

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, March 8th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Next meeting will be on April 12th. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

Sorry, Hans, I copied the wrong sample (value for "width" in "\setupinteractionscreen" should read "fit" instead of "max"): \nopdfcompression \setupinteractionscreen [width=fit] \setuplayout [standard] [backspace=.7\textwidth, cutspace=\cutspace, width=middle] \starttext \startmakeup[page] \null \stopmakeup \startmakeup[standard] \null \stopmakeup \stoptext Here are the boxes (using current latest from today [2023.03.06 14:48]): 3 0 obj [ 0 0 595.275590072 841.88975789 ] endobj 7 0 obj [ 0 0 968.199847496 841.88975789 ] endobj Page 1 (object 4) uses object 3 as /CropBox, /MediaBox and /TrimBox. Page 2 (object 7) uses object 3 as /MediaBox and object 7 as /CropBox and /TrimBox (I have just discovered it). I think it is better to avoid having a page with a /CropBox larger than its /MediaBox. But I’m afraid that it is wrong to have a /TrimBox larger than the /MediaBox for the same page. I hope it is clear now. Sorry for the mistake in copying the wrong sample. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Description together with itemize, luametatex

Hi, I'm trying to use a description environment in conjunction with an itemize with the latest luametatex. Is this supposed to work? Here is an MWE: ``` \definedescription[desc][headstyle=bold] \starttext Foo \desc{Some title} Some text \startitemize \item Some item \stopitemize \stoptext ``` This currently fails with: ``` resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': /home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --jobname="./test.tex" --fmt=/home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=/home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test.tex" --c:input="./test.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="/home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin" system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2023.02.23 21:26 LMTX fmt: 2023.3.4 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkxl' loaded open source > level 1, order 1, name '/home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source > level 1, order 1, name '/home/gerion/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > files > jobname './test', input './test.tex', result './test' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 1, order 2, name './test.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded lua error > lua error on line 8 in file ./test.tex: registered function call [809]: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-num.lua:448: attempt to index a nil value (local 'd') stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-num.lua:448: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-num.lua:442> (...tail calls...) 1 \definedescription[desc][headstyle=bold] 2 3 \starttext 4 Foo 5 6 \desc{Some title} Some text 7 \startitemize 8 >> \item Some item 9 \stopitemize 10 11 \stoptext 12 mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 ``` Best, Gerion

Visual highlighted text with title, mix of enumeration and framedtext
by Gerion Entrup 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Hi, I want to typeset a "Good to know" section that is visually highlighted and can spawn across multiple pages. In LaTeX this would be possible with the mdframed package. See the attached screenshot for an example how it might look like (it is copied out of page 4: Definition: Inhomogeneous linear of the mdframed documentation: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdframed/mdframed.pdf) I have searched in the wiki and found \defineenumeration: This is near of that what I need. However I explicitly does not need an enumeration (so no number or counter). Also I am not sure if I can set a background and so on. The other possibility is \defineframedtext. For example this goes much in the direction that I want: \definecolor[gbackground][s=0.98] \defineframedtext[gtk][frame=on, offset=5pt, background=color, width=0.95\textwidth, backgroundcolor=gbackground] However, there does not seem a possibility to define a title and it seems to not work on multiple pages. Is there a mix of an enumeration and framedtext that can produce something like in the attached picture? Best, Gerion
