urls and linebreaking

Does any one recall how to get urls to break AFTER “.” and “/” etc. in MK II using \useURL? I know this was discussed a long time ago, but I have not found it. Alan

ConTeXt minimals for arch linux
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi all, Any context users using arch linux out there? I have packaged context-minimals for arch linux. It is basically the first-setup.sh script simplified for arch linux (no platform checking, etc). I also modified the setuptex script to make sure it works in a multiuser environment (basically setting TEXMFCACHE to $HOME/texmf-cache). The PKGBUILD is available at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398 To install packages from AUR, you need to install yaourt http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt and then you can install context using yaourt -S context-minimals-git (the -git extension is just to coax yaourt to keep the downloaded files, so that rsync makes sense). It installs the minimals at /opt/context-minimals Aditya

metaobj and luatex 0.42.0
by Matthew Claus 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hello everyone, First, thanks for making this list such a great resource. I've installed a fresh minimals on windows using first-setup.bat. This seems to have installed luatex 0.40.6 which led to errors making the formats (message indicated at least 0.42 was needed). I think the presence of the older luatex version for windows was recently noted on another thread. So, I installed 0.42.0 and remade the formats. This minimal example works with "texexec example.tex" but fails with "context example.tex". \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startMPpage newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world}); a.c = origin; drawObj(a); \stopMPpage \stoptext Is this expected to work (I realize the 0.42.0 is very new) Am I doing something wrong? Thanks very much for any assistance, Matt C:\wk\tex>context example.tex MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/wk/cm/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/cont ext/e8705fc03b81c76af2e2d42634ded96b/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/wk/cm/context/te x/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/e8705fc03b81c76af2e2d42634ded96b/formats/cont -en.lui" --backend=pdf "./example.tex" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.42.0-2009071712 \write18 enabled.

Hello Hans, Thank you for --mode=*nofonts and detailed explanation. The mode works well and reduces font loading time from 2.281 to 1.266 seconds!

itemize fail in mkiv

MKIV in TL2009
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi Hans and Taco, Perphas you guys already know this, but mkiv does not run in TL09. I tried generating the format and I get !!!!: Your luatex binary is way too old, you need at least version 0.42. The included luatex binary is (the date seems wrong?) Version beta-0.40.6-2009090923 (TeX Live 2009/Arch Linux) luatex.web >= v14240 Does this basically mean that in order to use mkiv with TL, I have to manually update the luatex binary? Aditya

How can I input Join?
by Yue Wang 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi, I am doing my logic homework using ConTeXt. the command \Join (ref. http://w2.syronex.com/jmr/tex/texsym.old.html) seems to be missing in ConTeXt. (I searched showmathcharacters in context) How can I input that? Thanks Yue Wang
