units related to paper size

Dear Hans, I wonder whether it would be possible to have both units for page width and page height (I guess, pw and ph would be fine). This would be similar to tw and th. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

streams reversed?
by jbf 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

I am making some progress with a bilingual text using the streams mechanism suggested by Wolfgang: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns, but see below. The aim has been to have en and vi on facing pages (en left, vi right). It works correctly for the Foreword in two languages (en, vi) in frontmatter. When I come to bodymatter and Chapter 1, again it works, except that the positions of the languages are reversed, so I end up with vi on the left and en on the right. By Chapter 2 we are back to the correct position once more (en left and vi right). I want to know why this is happening, and if I can prevent it happening. I am using the code you can see below, except that instead of \startoutputstream[one] and \startoutputstream[two] etc. I am using [en-front][vi-front], and then in bodymatter [en-chap1][vi-chap1] etc. etc. with the relevant repetitions of these identifiers where needed. I assume that to get a degree of synchronization I need to use this approach for each set of chapters. But I cannot understand why the languages alternate their starting page positions each chapter. There are other issues I have to solve, but first of all I wish to resolve this one. Julian The original (Wolfgang) code is as follows: \starttext \startoutputstream[one] \startcolor[red] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \startoutputstream[two] \startcolor[green] \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \synchronizestreams[one,two] \setbox\scratchboxone\outputstreambox[one] \setbox\scratchboxtwo\outputstreambox[two] \doloop {\ifvoid\scratchboxone \exitloop \else \setbox\scratchboxfour\vsplit\scratchboxone to\textheight \vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfour\vss}% \setbox\scratchboxfive\vsplit\scratchboxtwo to\textheight \vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfive\vss}% \fi} \stoptext

Different behavior of \clf_lastypos vs \clf_lastxpos
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

Hi, I am trying to debug an unexpected behavior with tikz reported on tex.se: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/696136/323 The attached file shows what is going wrong (without using tikz). For some reason, there is an extra \relax written to file after `\the\numexp\clf_lastypos\relax` (there is no such relax after `\the\numexpr\clf_lastxpos\relax`). The test.pgf file is: \macro {A}{23930350}{43358454.0\relax } \macro {B}{39564274.0\relax }{14083538} Any ideas on why is the extra \relax written after lastypos and how to fix that? Aditya

stream sync (or \pushoutputstream)
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Sep '23

16 Sep '23

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startoutputstream[one] \startcolor[red] \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\par\pushoutputstream} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \startoutputstream[two] \startcolor[green] \dorecurse{4}{\input zapf\par\pushoutputstream} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \null\page \synchronizestreams[one,two] \flushoutputstream[one] \page\flushoutputstream[two] \stoptext With MkIV, stream one is always a line before stream two (11-12, 21-22, 31-32). With LMTX, the output is less reliable, since stream one is one, two and three lines before stream two (11-12, 21-23, 31-34). In some cases, having synced streams is highly desirable. Besides the output difference in LMTX, is there a way to get fully synced streams? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
