No format file after updating...
by Willi Egger 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Good morning! Last night I updated LMTX on my Raspberry Pi4. — After this action it appeared, that I could no-more compile tex-files: error no format found. I tried to generate a format manually., however this did not work out. In the log-file the following error is placed: …/anch-pgr.lmt:901: unexpected symbol near ‘0” ... error loading file: anch-pgr.lmt (aborting). Kind regards Willi

binaries in latest
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Dear list, as already reported in another thread, bimaries (for Linux64) weren’t updated with current latest (2023.01.04 11:35), Just in case it might help others (and to fix the issue), deleting the file tex/texmf-linux-64.tma allows the download of newer binaries (although the name for your platform should be different in other OS). Just in case it might help, Pablo

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, January 11th, 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 February 8th. (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

Trouble with latest...

Hi all, I tried upgrading to the 2023 version, but generating the format fails with lots of these messages: ! Control sequence expected instead of undefined. <macro> \syst_basics_allocate_yes #1#2#3#4#5->\ifnum #1<#4\relax \global \advanceby #1\plusone \permanent \global #3#5=#1\relax \else \writestatus {warning}{no room f <line 3.493> \newmuskip \scratchmuskip \newmuskip \globalscratchmuskip \newmuskip \privatescratchmuskip !

Can anyone confirm (or yell “works for me!”)? All best Thomas

Issue with location parameter in matrix
by Jacob Kauffmann 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi all, Thank you for your recent assistance with calligraphic math fonts. I am trying to use a matrix example from math-ali.mkxl, but I am running into an issue. When I try to use the location parameter, I receive the error A <box> was supposed to be here. I have also tried both location=bottom and location=top, but both give the same error. Do you have any ideas on how I can get the matrix in the desired locations? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Jacob \starttext \startformula \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)}] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix = \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)},location=low] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix = \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)},location=high] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix \stopformula \stoptext

TUG 2023
by Thomas A. Schmitz 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hi everybody, an excellent year 2023 to all of you - I hesitate to say "it can only get better from 2022." That's what we thought last year, and boy were we wrong and did it get worse... Let's hope that this year will be more peaceful and less pandemic... But to my topic: the official announcement for TUG 2023 is out. It will be in Bonn, Germany, in a building literally (literally!) just across the street from my university office. So I feel somewhat motivated to go and give a talk on ConTeXt and spread the word. Since I'm a simple user and no developer, I'm a bit hesitant though: is any of the developers going (Hans?)? Since the public will be 99 % LaTeX-centric: I had the idea of showing (off) how ConTeXt can typeset xml and produce different outputs from the same source (similar to what I've done in Bassenge in 2019). Those of you who have been to TUG conferences before: would that be of interest even to people who know little to nothing about ConTeXt yet are familiar with other forms of TeX? I guess I just what to get a feeling what to expect at a TUG conference. All best wishes Thomas

MP figure continuation
by Alexandre Christe 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Dear list, Is there a way to "continue" an MP figure? Like keeping the axes, etc. and just adding code to the figure? Maybe I missed something, otherwise I'd find it super useful. Thanks in advance and happy new year, Alex

How to buy a copy of NTG MAPS 52 (2022.1)
by Keith McKay 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Colleagues Can someone point me as to where I can purchase a copy of MAPS 52 (2022.1) published by the Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep last year? I am not a member of the NTG and it is too early for it to be freely available for viewing on their site, but I would like to read the article by Fabrice Larribe "MetaFun for generative art (English)" within that volume. The article was also mentioned in Chapter 7 of the manual "On Target". Best Wishes Keith McKay
