Apostrophe entity using \xmltexentity is ignored
by Thangalin 08 Oct '22

08 Oct '22

Has the handling for the apostrophe character entity changed recently? In the following example, the \xmltexentity for apostrophe is ignored, resulting in a straight apostrophe instead of a curled one: % SOT \xmltexentity{apos}{’} \xmltexentity{lsquo}{‘} \xmltexentity{rsquo}{’} \xmltexentity{laquo}{«} \xmltexentity{raquo}{»} \startbuffer[document] <body> ‘Sylvia's spilled «wine».’ </body> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:xhtml \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{body}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml} \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{xhtml}{document}{} \stoptext % EOT Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you. mtx-context | current version: 2022.09.11 20:44

Example from Practex Journal

Hello, Could anybody help me out with the setup and a MWE to get a document exactly as the one from Steve Peter in the Practex Journal in 2005 as in https://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-1/peter/peter.pdf I find this one hard to replicate. What is the font type that was used for this document ? Thanks Jeroen

Spacing issue with \digits in math mode
by Gavin 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi list, I have been trying to understand the workings of the \unit command, which is producing strange spacing in math mode. In an effort to be more systematic, I began by investigating the related \digit command. \digit works well in text, but in math mode the comma separators produce unwanted space. \digits {12,345.67} vs.\ $\digits {12,345.67}$ Below is a one page test document, derived from the code in phys-dim.mkxl. I think a simple fix would be to treat the comma as “ord” inside a number, but I don’t know if that is easy or not. I’d also like the space removed from around the “x" in scientific notation, which might be accomplished the same way. Thanks for all the work on spacing in math! Gavin \setuppapersize[A4] \showmakeup[mathglue] %\mathspacingmode=1 \starttext Digits in math mode have problems with comma separators. \startbuffer 10 \setdigitmode {1} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 20 \setdigitmode {2} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 30 \setdigitmode {3} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 40 \setdigitmode {4} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 50 \setdigitmode {5} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 60 \setdigitmode {6} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 11 \setdigitmode {1} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 21 \setdigitmode {2} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 31 \setdigitmode {3} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 41 \setdigitmode {4} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 51 \setdigitmode {5} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 61 \setdigitmode {6} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ \stopbuffer \typebuffer This is typeset as: \startlines \getbuffer \stoplines In text, the \type{\digits} command works fine: \setdigitmode {2}\setdigitorder{0}\digits{12,345.67e89}. \blank Suggestion: Within \type{\digits} (and probably \type{\units}) the comma could be an \quotation{ord} rather than a \quotation{pun}. This appears to be how the period is handled. \blank I personally think the space around the \quotation{$\times$} is excessive, especially when the number is in a formula. \startformula \digits {12,345.67e89} + \digits {12,345.67e89} \stopformula I would like the \quotation{$\times$} to also be an \quotation{ord} when used for scientific notation. \stoptext

remote images
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi, fetching images per URI was supported (and is also documented in the wiki), but with LMTX 2022.09.11 and one of \externalfigure[http://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg] or \externalfigure[https://picsum.photos/300/200] I only get the usual grey box. No error message. Do I need any setup, was this discarded in LMTX, or what’s wrong? Hraban

Missing letters and numbers in printout
by Angel M Alganza 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

Hello, I have a document that includes some grids (drawn with \grid) as well as alphanumeric information (letters and numbers) which contents (the info, not the grids) I modify every year and then print it out. I've been using it without any problem for a few (maybe 4 or 5) years but, this time, only the grid showed up on the printout, but none of the letters or numbers would, using the same printer I used every time before. I always copy the PDF file into a USB stick that I bring to the (departamental) printer, plug it in the printer and directly print from it. I tried printing the same file (from the same USB drive) into a different printer, this time connected to a computer, and sending the file from it, which worked just fine. My guess is that the first printer in missing the font the document uses, whereas the second printer received the font from the computer (Devuan Linux), which has the appropriate font. Could that be correct? In all previous ocasions I used the version of ConTeXt included in Texlive on Devuan, but a few months ago I decided to install ConTeXt using the official distribution instead. Could that explain the change in behaviour I'm seeing? Could it be that the previous versions I used somehow embeded the fonts into the PDF file but the current one doesn't? And, if that's really the case, how could I force the font to be included into the PDF file? I remember I read something like that a very long time ago (probably about LaTeX, not ConTeXt), but I haven't found how to do it now in a few searches on the documentation. Thak you for any help or advice. Cheers, Ángel

LMTX incompatibility in \meaning breaks TikZ, other minor issues
by Leah Neukirchen 28 Sep '22

28 Sep '22

Hi, I'm trying to get tikz-cd to run on LMTX and some examples already work fine, but I had a problem with text on arrows. To reproduce: \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[cd] \starttext \starttikzcd A \arrow{r}{A} \NC B \NR \stoptikzcd \stoptext This builds fine on MkIV from TeXLive 2022 with LuaTeX, but on LMTX I get: system > ConTeXt ver: 2022.09.11 20:44 LMTX fmt: 2022.9.20 int: english/english ... close source > level 2, order 63, name 'tikzlibrarycd.code.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded tex error > tex error on line 8 in file ./tik.tex: Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/"{A}"{}' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it.^^J...^^Jl.7 I think the culprit is a tikzcd arrow in cell 1-1 After a bunch of debugging, it turns out that LMTX breaks the TikZ 'quotes' library, which works using code ala: \def\tikz@enable@node@quotes{% \pgfkeyssetvalue{/handlers/first char syntax/the character "}{\tikz@quote@parser}% \let\tikz@quotes@as\tikz@node@quotes@as% } The last part of the /-key is derived from \meaning, but in LMTX, \meaning" is "the character U+0022 'quotation mark'" and thus the key cannot be found. I have patched TikZ for now to match for this alternate string too. But perhaps it would be better for compatibility to agree with the original TeX \meaning strings for the 7-bit ASCII subset at least. I found another minor nit that's not really triggering a bug but still a difference to LuaTeX: \eTeXrevision should expand to .2, but it expands to 2 in MkIX. There is some code out there which uses constructions like \number\eTeXversion\eTeXrevision or even \ifdim 0\XeTeXrevision pt > 0.9996pt As LMTX doesn't care about this macro, this should be easy to adjust.
