Different behaviour
by Alain Delmotte 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi! I did find a different behaviour for the same command. In: 1] \starttext 2] \defineenumeration 3] [remark] 4] [way=bysection,location=top, 5] text=Remark, 6] inbetween=\blank, 7] after=\blank] 8] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of pilgrimage. %point 1 9] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 2 10] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 3 11] 12] Remarquer la possibilité d'avoir des sous-numéros. 13] 14] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of pilgrimage. %point 4 15] 16] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 5 17] 18] Aussi les \type{\startremark...\stopremark}. 19] 20] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of pilgrimage. %point 6 21] 22] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 7 23] 24] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 8 25] 26] \stoptext ------------------------ This works (no empry line before points 1, 2, 3; empty lines before the others) If I suppress the line before any of the points 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 I get an error Runaway argument for the line of point 8! Suppressing *after* point 3 or point 5 also gives an error. In fact, it looks like there should be an empty line after the \remark or \subremark, but not for the first group! (NB. I did add the line number to avoid misunderstanding going from a Windows CRLF to other CR or LF) Alain

Adobe Multiple Master Fonts: support in LuaTeX?
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi All A few (ie > 10) years ago I purchased the MinionMM and MyriadMM Multiple Master typefaces from the long-defunct Adobe Type on Call. I have the full set including the expert fonts. They were really quite expensive so I would really like to find out if they are (or will be) supported by LuaTeX. Having installed FontForge (FF) on my PC I note that FF certainly supports them. So, I was wondering if MM technolgy, even though it is kinda obsolete, is or will be supported? For sure, you can certainly create individual instances via Akira's port (thank you Akira) of the LCDF Typetools (specifically mmafm, mmpfb) http://www.lcdf.org/type/index.html I've tried this and the resulting PFB/AFM files definitely work with Context --- even got my first very simple typescript to work :-) I would be very interested to know the current support, or planned support, for being able to create "multiple master instances" on the fly. For sure, I appreciate that MM support may just not be worth the effort because the technology is "old" and few people are interested in this? Or it may be that it's too much work to create and then install instances on the fly. But the fonts are nice... and cost a lot :-( Warm regards Graham

Using external libraries in LuaTeX
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear All In a the recent Luatex 0.46.0 announcement http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2009-November/001118.html experimental support for loading external libraries was reported. I am running Windows Vista with ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.12 19:49 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.16 int: english/english with LuaTeX, Version beta-0.51.0-2010031309 (rev 3479) I have also downloaded Lua 5.1 from http://luaforwindows.luaforge.net/ and so have Lua5.1.dll installed. This distribution has a number of interesting extenal libraries (ie DLLs) that I would like to try out with LuaTeX. If I can make progress I would be happy to document and write-up my experiments for posting on the Wiki in case they may be of interest to others. I should say that my coding skills are somewhat rusty as I've been away from programming/TeX for a few years... so do please excuse my "simplistic" questions :-) So, I was wondering if anyone has a minimal example they would be kind enough to share, or can give me a few pointers/guidelines so that I can start experimenting. In particular, I'm interested to call external libraries and inject the output from an external library into TeX for typesetting. For example, is it possible to load a library once, keep it loaded and access the library functions from different commands during the TeX run? In outline... --- run some code to load the library (initialisation) --- keeping the library available --- some commands\definitions to accss library functions eg \calltolibrary{....) --- make callsto library and pass the output into TeX for typesetting I would be very grateful for any guidance/help that can be offered. Warm wishes to all Graham

By the way, XeTeX also breaks, but in a different way. "Računalne mreže" becomes "RaÄ“unalne mreÅ¾e". Same option also doesn't do anything. MkIV works nicely, and I know I should probably be using that, but LaTeX with hyperref can do unicode bookmarks in both XeTeX and pdfTeX, so it would be really cool if ConTeXt would be able to do it as well.

by Mikael Persson 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear list, With the following example: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setuphead[section][alternative=text] \starttext \section{Test}\input knuth \stoptext I get the attached result. I would expect no "empty line" between the section line and the rest of the paragraph. Any advices? Best regards, Mikael PS Using an updated MKIV

Unable to use example from Excursion
by Alain Delmotte 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi! I am going through "ConTeXt an excursion", but I cann't get the example of table 11.9 (page 34, source pp 32-33) to work. I always get an error: ------------------------ ! Argument of \docheckifiteminsetelse has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \@@kjtabletitle ->Use of \type {\setuptables } . \doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1 }\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa \!!str... \dostructurecountercomponent ...\c!title }\v!none {\setfalse \hasstructureco... \docompletefloat ...c!title ={#4},\c!bookmark =][] \globallet \currentfloatnu... ... l.420 \stopcombination ? ------------------------ I have tried to comment different parts of the code, but this didn't help (even if the error changed). The code is exactly the code from the book (copy/paste from the .pdf) Further, I do not see the effect of \setupcaption[style=boldslanted] in example 11.10 (pp 34-35) I am using the minimals distribution, MKIV on Windows XP SP3. Thanks for the help, Alain

Working with variables in Lua(TeX)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hello, I am sorry, I am novice in this maillist and in Lua(TeX) too. I dont know if my problem isn't off topic. My inquiry is here: Is it make possible with variables in Lua(TeX) do for similar "hara-kiri" like in Perl or PHP by this example?: $a="b"; $$a="456"; print $b; # result 456 $varname="counter"; $varindex=1; ${"$varname$varindex"}=123; print $counter1; # result 123 Is any alternative of this examples in Lua what should be using in LuaTex?? thanks Jaroslav Hajtmar

\mapsto is missing
by Mikael Persson 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear list, the \mapsto arrow seems to be missing. \starttext $A\mapsto B=f(A)$ \stoptext gives the attached pdf document. I'd expect something like what is in the pic attached. Can this be added? Best regards, Mikael
