Hello, the following shortening "\ctxlua{commands.doif" to "\cldcommand{doif" doesn't work as I'd expect, although it should be equal: ---- \starttext A \ctxlua{commands.doif(true)}{T} % Gives "T" - that's OK \cldcommand{doif(true)}{t} % Gives nothing; why? B \stoptext ---- Probably very basic question... What am I doing wrong? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

I was under the impression that sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all engine=luatex should install a "minimal" minimal context (without mkii). But that doesn't seem to be true. Has something changed, or am I mistaken? Thanks, Jörg

So for now, I will go through every single page, and look for black boxes (or in your gimmick red boxes). Thanks. Huseyin

Updating texlive?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi, is there a canonical way to update texlive so it runs the latest context beta? From time to time, I'd like to be sure that I can run texlive as well. I tried unzipping the latest zip file in texlive/texmf-local, running mtxrun --generate and context --make, but I get texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:859: attempt to call field 'loadchunk' (a nil value) mtx-context.lua is identical to the one in standalone, as is the luatex binary, so I'm wondering what's going wrong here? All best Thomas

Euler Constant and limit
by Kip Warner 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hey list, I am trying to typeset the Verhulst equation which contains a Euler constant which I cannot get to display correctly: \placeformula[formula:Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{P(t) = \frac{K P_0 \Eulerconst^{rt}} {K + P_0(\Eulerconst^{r t} - 1)}} \stopformula The location for the \Eulerconst just shows up blank with nothing there, so I am assuming this is the wrong command. I am using ConTeXt 2012.11.16 under Ubuntu Precise. In addition, the following formula does not typeset correctly. There is no arrow linking 't' to infinity symbol: \placeformula[formula:Limit of Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{\lim_{t\to\infty} P(t) = K.\,} \stopformula PS Please cc me, as I am not on the list currently. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks, thats quite nice. Is it pirincipal possible to programm this macro I am looking for, which lists all "reds" (in your gimmick) in a TOC with pagenumbers?

These black blocks are quite useful, but not as powerful, as I am looking for. I am looking for a command, which builds a register of all occurences of these blocks. Imagine I am working on a 300-page book, than I have to check every single page for these margin-runs (f.e. after changing the layout), with these black boxes its much easier, of course, but still a mess. Is there a command like "\showallmarginruns", which gives something like this: "Margin runs on p. 34,67,101,145,204,298" - it may use somehow the blocks of \version[temporary], that would be perfect for me. Could I make clear, what I am looking for (sorry for my leck of English)? Thanks. Huseyin

The text itself for the frame is put in a framedtext environment. Wolfgang

error when using externalfigure
by Pavel Dohnal 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hello, I have a big context source file which contains pictures from different sources. The problem is, that there are some pictures the context cannot process. It displays an error message and ends. I run the context from another script in batchmode. After finishing, the context creates a PDF file, which contains this problematic picture but the pdf is broken. It does not have numbers in the table of contents and it is not arranged by setup. Here is a minimal example: \starttext \externalfigure[ http://cdn-locations-images.tripomatic.com/img-poi1295-5ZTynx-s.jpg][width=… ] \stoptext When I run the context, it prints: ! Dimension too large. system > tex > error on line 1 in file a.tex: Dimension too large ... 1 >> \starttext 2 \externalfigure[ http://cdn-locations-images.tripomatic.com/img-poi1295-5ZTynx-s.jpg][width=… ] 3 \stoptext 4 \relocateexternalfigure ...d \foundexternalfigure \bgroup \box \foundexterna... l.1 \relocateexternalfigure \calculateexternalfigure ...ua {figures.include()} \ctxlua {figures.scale()}\... \dodoplaceexternalfigure ...[][#1][#2][#3][#4][#5] \dotagfigure \naturalvbox ... <argument> ...1295-5ZTynx-s.jpg][][width=26.5mm][] \fi \firstofoneargument #1->#1 Because I have several thousands pictures, it is impossible for me to correct them all.
