bib things broken in mkiv?

The following I didn't use for some time. Is it replaced or broken in mkiv? Is there a quick fix? I must retypsetting something I need on short notice. \setuppublications [numbering=short,refcommand=data] % separate -- see doc p2 systems : begin file literature at line 8 (../literature.tex (/Users/hans/Documents/TeX/context/beta/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/m-obsolete.tex systems : skipping obsolete module ) system : module bib loaded publications : loading database from literature.bbl (../literature.bbl) publications : loading formatting style from bibl-apa (/Users/hans/Documents/TeX/context/beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/ bib/bibl-apa.tex) !

luatex pdf.immediateobj("streamfile" error on Mac OS X Intel 64

Dear All, I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2, latest minimals luatex is beta-0.52.0-2010031913, Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 the fillowing file "test.tex" fails to compile with "context test.tex" \nopdfcompression \startluacode local attr = lpdf.dictionary {} pdf.immediateobj("streamfile","test.tex",attr()) -- pdf.immediateobj("stream","test.tex",attr()) \stopluacode \starttext \startTEXpage Test. \stopTEXpage \stoptext complaining MTXrun | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted and producing PDF file test.pdf where, it seems, luatex has problems with file size. PDF file starts as follows (note empty Length) %PDF-1.6 some binary data 9 0 obj << /Length >> stream \nopdfcompression \startluacode local attr = lpdf.dictionary {} pdf.immediateobj("streamfile","test.tex",attr()) -- pdf.immediateobj("stream","test.tex",attr()) \stopluacode \starttext \startTEXpage Test. \stopTEXpage \stoptext binary garbage binary garbage ... The latest minimals under Mac OS X 10.5.8 running on PPC (luatex beta-0.52.0-2010031913, Mach-o executable ppc) have no such problem. Please, test it on your system. Does it work for you? Is something broken in my setup or we are to complain to developers/builders/investigate luatex workings ourselves? Sincerely, Michail PS. If I uncomment pdf.immediateobj("stream", and comment pdf.immediateobj("streamfile", things do work. PPS. The code above is a minimal test case, I am really revisiting 3D annotations.

\hyphenation problems
by Tom 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

When I wrap text around the right side of a figure, the justification along the right margin is a bit ragged in a couple of places. One problem is that it can't hyphenate cfbdatawarehouse.com, even when I provide the hyphenation via a \hyphenation command. The malhyphenation error seems to be caused by the embedded dot. Another line ends with last letter of the last word on the line (head) extending into the margin. That word cannot be hyphenated. How does on get the justification to work correctly in such cases?

Missing math symbols (MK-IV)
by gummybears 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, In a previous email I commented that the integral symbols, when using the unicode font Cambria or Asana, don't look ok. It has to do with the way e.g \iint, \iiint etc are constructed. Whether or not the symbol is present in the unicode font, the tex macro \repeatintegral is used (fallback option). I don't want to use the Cambria or Asana font entirely, as the other math typesetting doesn't look nice. Just for the missing symbols. Found an earlier post (Thomas A. Schmitz titled symbols in luatex date 2008-01-02) where a solution was presented by Wolfgang Schuster. Basically I am using his solution and came up with the following (only works ok in text mode). Also looked at definemathcharacter but not sure how to make it work with unicode fonts (could not find any documentation, looked at the source files, but don't know what to fill in for the 6 parameters to definemathcharacter) Question : what is the right way I can make this work (definemathcharacter, something else) ? Question : some of these symbols are defined in char-def.lua but missing in math-vfu.lua. What is needed to make them active ? Can I do it myself and send a list of missing symbols with their unicode value ? Thanks for the help. % test of some math symbols \starttypescript[serif][mathsymbols][name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:asana][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[MathSymbols] \definetypeface [MathSymbols] [rm] [serif] [mathsymbols] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[MathSymbols] % undefine iint, iiint, iiiint \definemathcommand [iint] {} \definemathcommand [iiint] {} \definemathcommand [iiiint] {} % define my own \definecharacter integral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"222B\egroup} \definecharacter dblintegral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"222C\egroup} \definecharacter tripleintegral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"222D\egroup} \definecharacter contourintegral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"222E\egroup} \definecharacter surfaceintegral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"222F\egroup} \definecharacter volumeintegral {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[MathSymbols]\char"2230\egroup} \starttext integral \integral double integral \dblintegral triple integral \tripleintegral \startformula \startalign[n=2] \NC \text{integral} \NC \text{\integral}_{a}^{b} \NR \NC \text{double integral} \NC \text{\dblintegral}_{a}^{b}\NR \NC \text{triple integral} \NC \text{\tripleintegral}\NR \NC \text{contour integral} \NC \text{\contourintegral}_{a}^{b} \NR \NC \text{surface integral} \NC \text{\surfaceintegral}_{a}^{b} \NR \NC \text{volume integral} \NC \text{\volumeintegral}_{a}^{b} \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

contextgarden.net is running again
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Mar '10

Hi, Hans van der Meer reported a broken minimals update. This was due to changes in the nameserver handling. Now the move to the new domain hoster is complete and everything should be back to normal. Thanks for your patience, Patrick

descriptions failing in mkiv

I made use of descriptions in mkii.

Problem in sorting bibtex entries
by Mikael Persson 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Dear Taco and list, I have a problem (with the latest minimals) sorting bibtex entries: Consider the following example: % bibbug.tex \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[ sorttype=bbl, ] \setupbibtex[ database=mp, ] \starttext See~\cite{resi3,resi4} and also~\cite{resi2,resi1}. \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext % end of bibbug.tex I get an eror: !

Attached is the tex file, the log file, and my bib file. Best regards, Mikael

sort-lan.lua line 157

Hi, I had a look at sort-lan.lua, here are lines 156--158: ['y'] = 38, -- y ['z'] = 49, -- z [uc(0x017E)] = 40, -- zcaron I guess the correct value for “z” should be “39”? Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
