[ cleaning up ]
by Floris van Manen 27 May '23

27 May '23

As I use luametatex for compiling context docs to pdf, I wonder what files/folders could safely removed from the context base folder? e.g. is there a script to purge unused features? .Floris

upload
by Hans Hagen 27 May '23

27 May '23

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. Apart from the modules installer (that Hraban has to check) and subtle improvements in math (we're now in tweaking penalties mode) there are a few changes: - The endstrut in framed got lost but is back again; there is now alao a location=inline option. - Single character math as in "text $x$ text" will from now on behave kind of like "text~x$ text" but that ~ always felt kind of weird anyway. Tests on large documents with plenty math and single char cases shows that it works quite ok and in most cases the paragraph will have the same number of lines (single char moves have little impact). - The \lastlinefit (etec) feature is now controlled by the "fit" option in \setupalign etc; i'm still pondering how to control the orphan penalty feature that has been around for a while now but never really configured) and if we should have a decent default for that (like \orphanpenalties 2 150 100 ). - Math formula number placement (as well as alignment sinside narrower) has been made a bit more robust and we added some placement options that will be discussed in the (by now 1739 page thick) upcoming math manual. You really don't want to know how many combinations we had to check. In an upcoming release there might also be some new text related tweaking features as side effect of the math tweaks which leads to some experiments with the par builder (so again we got sidetracked).

font size and style
by Hans van der Meer 27 May '23

27 May '23

Calling "\bf\tfa TEXT" for example leaves the TEXT not in bold because \tfa does not respect the current style. As does \small, etc. Shown by looking at the meaning of for example \small: \small=protected macro:\triggergroupedcommand {\setsmallbodyfont \tf } and \tx=protected macro:\currentxfontsize \plusone \ifmmode \scriptstyle \orelse \ifconditional \c_font_inherit_scale \font_scale_inherit_x \else \font_scale_defined_x \fi \al ways\let \tx \txx Thus in contrast \tx and \txx do respect the current style setting. My question: It seems most convenient if I could retrieve the current style and reset that after a size command. I rather would refrain from tinkering with those. Since there is a \currentxfontsize is there an analogue for the style? dr. Hans van der Meer

module installer: unknown script 'install-modules.lua' or 'mtx-install-modules.lua'
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hi, I'm setting up a new computer, and I've wanted to benefit from the new module installer. However, the commands I should use gives me the following error message : mtxrun --script install-modules --list mtxrun | unknown script 'install-modules.lua' or 'mtx-install-modules.lua' I'm using a fresh context installation (2023.05.08 17:39) on Windows. I've see a couple of others had/have( ?) the same issue. It does not matter from where I run the command (i.e., I'm getting the same error message also from inside context\tex) Is there anything I should do to make this work? Best, Denis

text under page floats
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 May '23

24 May '23

Hi, in more than one of my books, I struggle with some lines of text below page floats. They start below the regular text area (i.e. in the bottom) and can even consist of a table float or a section title. I can’t reproduce it in a simple example like this: """ \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{tufte}} \startplacefigure[location=page,title={Pagefloat}] \framed[width=\textwidth,height=.5\textheight]{TEST} \stopplacefigure \dorecurse{5}{\samplefile{knuth}} \stoptext """ What could cause this behavior? For what should I look in my setups? Hraban

How to really force figure to appear "here"?
by Joel 24 May '23

24 May '23

I have been using \placefigure[here, force] to place some graphics, but its instead showing other text from the next section, then the picture. In testing, this is causing readers to be confused, as they expect to see a picture, but its somehow appearing two pages later. I don't care it it requires a huge blank area on the page before it, how can I make it so any text after \placefigure[here, force] doesn't appear before the figure? --Joel
