LMTX install
by Benny Schurig 23 May '21

23 May '21

Hi Julian, afaik with lmtx a setup is not necessary. With mk iv it established the tex tree. With lmtx the tree is somehow self-contained. I use lmtx and point the compile command of my editor of choice (Geany, Kile, Texmaker, Emacs whatever) directly to .../context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context [file] Best, Benny PS: First answer with phone, html message, weird stuff -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: jbf <roma83537(a)gmail.com> Datum: So., 23. Mai 2021, 08:52 An: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Betreff: [NTG-context] LMTX install Someone will quickly clarify what I am doing wrong here. Have used mkiv until now but decided to download and install LMTX in /home/me/bin/context. I then ran export PATH=/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH as the install script indicated at the end. When running mk iv, I always first ran a setup line (in my case it was . /home/me/Documents/Freedom/Context/tex/setuptex). Do I need to run a setup also for LMTX installed as above? And what one, because there is no 'setuptex' as far as I can see. If I just run context myfile.tex I get the mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' message. Does this mean my 'path' command didn't work (and why not? It should have) or do I still need to run a setup before I try to compile?

Hi list, The following MWE is giving me two photos under each other, not beside each. What am I doing wrong?

Trouble constructing a drawer rail with MP
by Willi Egger 22 May '21

22 May '21

Hello MP Gurus! I wanted to make a technical drawing. However the enclosed mwe does not give me the required results. While the vector from point 1 is directing in the desired direction of 194 degrees, the second vector from point 2 does not as defined point in the direction of 166 degrees. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for pointing me into the right direction :-) Willi

\setupbackend[space=yes] and hz

Hi Hans, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature [default] [default] [expansion=quality] \setupalign [hz] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupbodyfont[pagella] \setupbackend [space=yes] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext Using SumatraPDF-3.1.2 and current latest (from 2021.05.21 15:07), spacing is only right when I disable font expansion. Would it be possible that spacing be the same with and without font expansion? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] mathfun (Hans Hagen)
by Jeong Dal 22 May '21

22 May '21

Dear Hans, Thank you for your new module for math. If possible, I prefer to use $ \sqrt(x) = \compute\sqrt[.3N] {2} $ $ \pi = \mathexpr[.40N]{pi} $ It is more direct to use and good to write a text in which we need some math calculation. It is another good news for me. I hope it covers at least all the functions in metafun and in lua. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hand Style Sketching in Metapost
by Jeroen 21 May '21

21 May '21

I have the following working example with hatching. This works fine, but when I uncomment the sketching commands, no figure is rendered. Is the mp-sketch macro still working? \starttext \startMPcode input hatching; %input mp-sketch; %sketchypaths; %sketch_amount := 2bp; u := 1cm; path circle; circle = fullcircle scaled 4u; hatchfill circle withcolor (45, 5mm, -.5bp); draw circle; \stopMPcode \stoptext

definelabel and TEXpage
by Rik Kabel 21 May '21

21 May '21

In the following example: \definelabel[BB][alternative=inright,headcolor=red,text=] \startTEXpage Where is the label?\BB \stopTEXpage The label is not displayed if a TEXpage is used, but if the start/stop is changed to starttext/stoptext, all is well. Is this expected? -- Rik

Color problem
by Rik Kabel 21 May '21

21 May '21

Consider the following example: \define \HighlightColor {red} \definehighlight[RED][color=\HighlightColor] \definelabel[AA][alternative=inright,headcolor=\HighlightColor,text=] \definelabel[BB][alternative=inright,headcolor=red,text=] \noheaderandfooterlines \starttext \hsize3cm Is the label red?\AA Is the label red?\BB \RED{Is this line red?} \stoptext When run with --luatex, I get the colors I expect, as: When run as lmtx, I get this: All test were run with ConTeXt ver: 2021.05.20 11:08 MKIV fmt: 2021.5.20. This worked very well for a long time, then became a problem a while ago, then it resolved, and once more it is a problem. -- Rik
