Latest beta and MKII problem
by Bowen Alan C. 29 May '09

29 May '09

The latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2009.05.28 14:36 MKII fmt: 2009.5.28 int: english/english) no longer processes my files: all I get is complaints about an extra \else. That is, \definehead[LevelCHead][chapter] \setuphead[LevelCHead][style={\tf \it},alternative=text,number=no,page=no] \starttext Hello world! \LevelCHead{Hello world!} Donec placerat.

Still a few problems though! I have installed it to C:\tools\context. Everything goes well until 'mktexlsr' which returns: Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-project/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-fonts/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-extra/ls-R to write. because the folders do not exist. So I've created empty folders just in case and no more warnings! Then all goes well until 'context --pdf myfile.tex' which returns: luatex.exe: c:/tools/context/texmf-cache/tuatex-cache/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt: No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code 1 and 'texexec --pdf myfile.tex' returns: c:\tools\context\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:8603: attempt to concatenate a nil value Any ideas?

Is this still the best way? I've got myself in a terrible mess now! I downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped the contents, then tried to follow Hans' instructions, i.e.: > mktexlsr > luatools --generate > luatools --selfupdate > mtxrun --selfupdate > texexec --make (for mkii) > context --make (for mkiv) Unfortunately, none of these commands runs without errors! SO, I decided to reinstall from scratch. That's where my problems really started! I searched around the Wiki and found lots of pages on installation, but none of them seem quite right. I looked at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf but it looks old and does not seem to relate to the stuff I've downloaded. >From various places, I think I need to do the following, but some details are missing: 1.

Set environment variables: OSFONTDIR = C:\WINDOWS\Fonts TEXMF = <installdir>\scripts\context\stubs\mswin TEXMFCACHE = C:\TEMP TEXMFCNF = <installdir>\web2c TEXMFOS = ?????? others ???? 5.

LilyPond module 2009-05-27
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 May '09

29 May '09

I'm a bit proud to announce the latest version of the LilyPond bridge module. Download: http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lilypond Documentation: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond and, of course: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/ Changes: - Code cleanup (partly by Wolfgang) - Works with LuaTeX (ConTeXt MkIV) *only*! Also dropped support for EPS inclusion. - Uses subdirectories for temporary and created files to keep your working directory clean The included PDF is still the old one, because ConTeXt's processing of modules is broken. It makes no big sense anyway. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

KR itemize fails with latest beta
by Matthijs Kooijman 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi, I've downloaded the beta today, which fails on one of my itemizes using the KR numbering scheme. I'm using MkIV context, with the following file: \starttext \startitemize[KR] \item Foo \stopitemize \stoptext When compiling this file, I get the below errors. When using R instead of KR, everything works. When using MkII (i.e., running texexec Test.tex, which means running MkII, right?) things work as well. matthijs@katherina:~/docs/UT/FHDL/progress$ texexec --lua Test.tex TeXExec | processing document 'Test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file Test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 750 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en LuaTools | running command: luatex --fmt="/home/matthijs/luatex-cache/context/6300afb4995fe38c77e9b86ed1ef1028/formats/cont-en" --lua="/home/matthijs/luatex-cache/context/6300afb4995fe38c77e9b86ed1ef1028/formats/cont-en.luc" "Test.tex" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009042718 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled.

Beta version 2009.05.27 16:26, \footnote and \section
by Otared Kavian 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi Hans, The issue I reported some time ago regarding \scetion and \footnote with mkiv, is still there: mkiv, LuaTeX version 40, LuaTeX revision 1, (LuaTeX date stamp 2009050813), ConTeXt version 2009.05.27 16:26. The issue is as follows: the text of the \footnote used in the title of a \section does not show up at the bottom of the page: here is a minimal test: %%% begin example \starttext \section{Testing a section\footnote{Actually for testing footnotes in the title of a section\dots}} % This footnote does not show up \startitemize \item test\footnote{This is a silly remark\dots} \item test\footnote{This is a silly remark, inside an item\dots} \stopitemize test\footnote{This is another silly remark but outside items\dots} \stoptext %%%% end example Best regards: OK
