new module installer and .tar.gz compression
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hans, many thanks for the new script to install modules in LMTX. I forced a new release of handlecsv (https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=view/id=86) I provide the contents with a git address, so I cannot choose which kind of compression the code will have. Since imports from git use .tar.gz, these modules cannot be installed with the script (which seems to expect .zip compression exclusively). Sorry, but I don’t know how to force git urls to be added as zip packages in https://modules.contextgarden.net. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] OBSD 7.3 binary locally compiled… what next?

Hello, > you should make > > tex/texmf-openbsd7.3-amd64 > > and put 5 files there: > > luametatex > context -> luametatex > mtxrun -> luametatex > mtxrun.lua > context.lua Thanks for your hints. I did as you said but got stucked with a tree structure problem. Since I was lacking the time to dig into it, and a new update was announced, I simply loaded the new binary from pragma. But I now understand the workflow to update to 7.4: update to the latest lmtx (I do not update so often), ugrade OBSD, build the new binary if no upload is available. Anyway, 7.3 binaries work ok. Many thanks! Damien T

How to print all pages for a single index entry?
by Joel 08 May '23

08 May '23

I have an index like this: \starttext \index{butterflies}\index{horses}\index{cows} \placeindex \stoptext The placeindex will place every index. Is there a way to say, display an index, but only for a specific single entry, or specific list of entries, e.g. \placeindex[horses, cows] (would exclude butterflies from the index entries) --Joel

new units
by Hans Hagen 07 May '23

07 May '23

Hi, We now officially have three new units. These were officially introducd at the 2023 BachoTeX meeting in a presentation where the chair of the four person strong team also did the final live callibration (using the edithorial callibration instrument made for that purpose). An upcoming article in TB will explain the details of the process and also a careful mathematical annalysis of how we reached the right value with a high precission. The actual implementation is the most boring part. \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ts] Hello World! \the\dimexpr 1ts \the\dimexpr 1es \the\dimexpr 1eu \eufactor20 \the\dimexpr 1eu \stopTEXpage \stoptext The es (Edith) unit replaces the inch, and the ts (Tove) is one tenths of than (just like we have cm and mm). The eu (European Unit) is an adaptive one that defaults to 10 ts == 1es and can be multiplied by setting the \eufactor (default 10) which makes it possible to define layouts that easilly scale to different output media (important for the mobile phone / table generation). This means that MWE that use inches will likely no longer be considered valid and probably will be dealt with slower (or just ignored). These units can be used in the current upload. In a next upload the "19 feet max" message that tex issues when reaching a maximum will be adapted to a more realistic variant. (Actually, because tex has no foot unit, we could as well replace that with a more impressive little feet unit but we forgot to measure the smallest foot present which i guess was about 3 es so the limit is then some 75 bare theodores.)

How to fix indexes displaying [entry not flushed] with hidden data?
by Joel 07 May '23

07 May '23

I have a document that needs to place some "hidden" data. In other words, there is an entire \input file with an article, but it doesn't get rendered visibly. However, the indexes, registers, and bibliography need to still function as if it were displayed right there on the page. It should be as if the data actually is all there, on a single page, but either compressed inside a single invisible pixel off or plain invisible to readers, not using any physical space on the page. I tried two methods suggested at Stack Exchange for hiding the data: 1. \startnointerference 2. \setbox\scratchbox=\vbox{} These both successfully seem to place the data there, without it actually being visible and bibliograhy entries still function fine. The problem is, index and customer registers are getting confused: When one goes to render the page numbers in \placeindex, it gets confused, displaying the message: "[entry not flushed]" instead of the page number. When I render this minimum working example below, the index is populated with [entry not flushed] instead of page numbers. Note that if I delete the test "This is invisible text."and recompile, I can get a successful render. The problem is, I have text that needs to remain invisible. \starttext \index{birds} \index{insects} \startnointerference \index{spiders} \index{bears} \index{rabbits} This is invisible text. \stopnointerference \input knuth \placeindex \stoptext How to fix indexes displaying [entry not flushed] with hidden data? --Joel

Feet is an establish and proper unit of measurement, which consists of 12 inches. It is used by, at least, several hundred million people. It can be said that the ability to grok and manipulate fractions has many benefits, which the metric system sorely lacks. Cheers
