upload

06 May '23

Hi, I uploaded a version that provides mtxrun --script install-tikz that when run in the tex root (.../tex) will fetch some tikz stuff from ctan and puts is in texmf-modules. After installing it wipes the files that make no sense (or can interfere or might be harmful) but I didn't check that extensively. Finally it remakes the file dastabase. I don't know if more needs to be installed. It assumes curl to be present (as library or binary). It's a rather stupid script but (I guess) good enough for what it is supposed to do. I can add more (like other modules) in which case it will be renamed.

How to show bibliography only for the chapter?
by Joel 06 May '23

06 May '23

I am trying to place a bibliography at the end of the chapter, not the end of the whole document. I tried various code such as `criteria=bychapter` etc., but it will only show the entire bibliography for the whole document. How can I limit the list to the material falling within that chapter? \starttext \startchapter[title={Robots}] \input knuth \cite[source1] \placelistofpublications[criteria=bychapter] \placelistofpublications[way=bychapter] \placelistofpublications[criteria=chapter] \stopchapter \stoptext --Joel

tikz + lmtx
by Aditya Mahajan 04 May '23

04 May '23

Hi all, For a few months now, all features of tikz have not been working with LMTX. After help from Hans and a bit of trial and error, I think that figured out what was going wrong with the catcodes in m-tikz: Since the texcatcodes are different from what tikz expects, the catcodes have to be set inside \starttikzpicture (in addition to before the loading of tikz files, which was already being done). I am attaching the working m-tikz.mkxl file. I have tested this on my course notes, which make extensive use of simple tikz block diagrams and pgfplots graphs. Perhaps others who were having issues with tikz could test if this fixes everything and, if so, we can add this to the distribution. Aditya

OBSD 7.3 binary locally compiled… what next?
by damien＠thiriet.web4me.fr 04 May '23

04 May '23

Hi, I upgraded today my OBSD to 7.3 and… realized too late that texlive binaries were on the compile farm, but not the lmtx ones. That was the opportunity to learn self-install, though. I compiled the binary, but I am stuck with the next step What I did: - rm -rf /usr/local/context/* (now I suspect I should have first updated my 7.2 installation and then, after upgrading to 7.3, compiled the binaries…) - download https://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip - unpacked it into /usr/local/context (unzip cont-tmf.zip -d /usr/local/context/) - cd /usr/local/context/source/luametatex - ./build.sh --native Compilation succeeded, looks like the binary lies in /usr/local/context/source/luametatex/build/native/luametatex What's the next step? There was this message: ============== tex trees resources like public fonts : tex/texmf/.... the context macro package : tex/texmf-context/.... the luametatex binary : tex/texmf-native/bin/... optional third party modules : tex/texmf-context/.... fonts installed by the user : tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/.... styles made by the user : tex/texmf-projects/tex/context/user/.... binaries: tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/luametatex : the compiled binary (some 2-3MB) tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/mtxrun : copy of or link to luametatex tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/context : copy of or link to luametatex tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/mtxrun.lua : copy of tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/context.lua : copy of tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/context.lua commands: mtxrun --generate : create file database mtxrun --script fonts --reload : create font database mtxrun --autogenerate context ... : run tex file (e.g. from editor) https://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip The tex/texmf/ folder does not exist yet. Does this mean I have to create that part of the tree by hand (which means should I have unpacked the zip at /usr/local/context/tex/texmf rather than /usr/local/context)?I’d bet copying anything(copying mtxrun from /usr/local/context/scripts/context/stubs/unix/mtxrun ? Should I run install.sh – which I not did, assuming maybe wrongly that it would fail, and if so, which options? Thank you for your time, Damien

Units for volts and Ohms
by Aditya Mahajan 04 May '23

04 May '23

Hi, As I was testing circuitikz, I realized that the following don't work: \unit{1V} \unit{100 kΩ} In phys-dim.lmt, we need to change line 467: v = "volt", to V = "volt", and perhaps add (not sure if lua allows utf variable names) Ω = "ohm", Aditya

define math function with \, inside
by Stefan Haller 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hi all, I wanted to define a custom math function (similar to log etc.) for argmax. However, I wanted to have a small space between "arg" and "max" and limits should work properly. I am using a up-to-date LMTX installation. Without the first constraint it's easy: > % old way: > \definemathcommand[argmax][limop]{\mfunction[argmax]} > % new way, discoverd by looking into math-def.mkxl > \definemathfunction[argmax] However, both methods do not work if I want to have "arg\,max" printed (error about \endcsname missing). With mkiv the first method works and can also be found in the wiki[1]. What's the current way to define such a custom math function? Thanks! Stefan [1]: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/functions

Linebreaking in Japanese in ConTeXt
by Gerben Wierda 01 May '23

01 May '23

I am currently testing with a Japanese translation of something I originally created in English using the ConTeXt engine (LMTX). I run into the fact that Japanese has no use for whitespace, so most of the time TeX has no idea where to break. Is there something I can tell ConTeXt to solve this for me or do I have to alk with the translator to put whitespace in the correct places (kind of breaks the automatic linebreaking of TeX, though)?

no recent message listed in the web interface
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '23

01 May '23

Dear list, I‘m afraid that https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2023/108157.html is the most recent message displayed for 2023 in the web interface (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2023/date.html#108157) Although the list has been distributing messages to subscribers and I received them, I guess that the server software update might have something to do with this. Just for the record, I contacted Taco privately two weeks ago. No reply, but I understand that obviously he is busy with other things. Before sending him another message on the issue, I would like to ask whether anyone could confirm that recent messages (from this week) aren’nt being listed at https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2023/date.html. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

cannot generate format file with current latest
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '23

01 May '23

Dear list, I have just updated to current latest (2023.04.27 17:04). I always delete cache with "mtxrun --generate" after an update. When I try to create the format file with "context --make --all", I get the following error message: lua error > lua error on line 645 in file context.mkxl: token call, execute: ...ext/base/mkxl/cldf-pos.lmt:18: attempt to index a nil value (global 'posit') stack traceback: ...ext/base/mkxl/cldf-pos.lmt:18: in local 'code' ...ext/base/mkiv/util-lua.lua:96: in field 'loadedluacode' ...ext/base/mkiv/luat-env.lua:108: in field 'luafilechunk' ...ext/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt:82: in function 'lua.registercode' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk <empty file> A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
