LMTX and modules
by Axel Kielhorn 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hello, Some years ago I wrote an introduction to ConTeXt in German: https://github.com/AKielhorn/Context-Intro But that was long ago. Today LMTX is state of the art and I tried to build it with a recent LMTX. This lead to problems because LMTX does not include modules. Therefore my question is: Is the a plan to include modules into the regular LMTX installation? If not, is there a way to test for a certain module? \doiffileexists{m-module} \usemodule{module} Greetings Axel

lmtx \placeinitial with nonzero par indent?
by Michael Urban 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

The following produces different results in mkiv and lmtx (to which I am brand new): \setupinitial[distance=1pt,font=Serif at 36pt,n=2] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \placeinitial \input knuth \stoptext The mkiv output is the desired effect. It works fine in lmtx if I do not change to medium indentation. Is this a bug or a feature (i.e., should I change something to work properly in both environments)?

numbering sections/subsections
by Alan Bowen 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

I’m trying to get my sections numbered with capital letters and my subsections with Arabic numbers. So far, no joy. What am I missing? Alan Mwe: with ConText ver: 2022.01.21 20:13 LMTX fmt: 2022.2.1. (The problem persists when I run ConTeXt online) \setuphead[section][conversion=A] \setuphead[subsection][conversion=n, sectionsegements=section:subsection, stopper={.}] \starttext \startsection[title=New section] \input knuth \startsubsection[title=New subsection] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopsection \stoptext

Prolongation of the sidebar to the footnotes.
by Joaquín Ataz López 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Good morning everybody, I am composing a text in which there is a sidebar environment in whose text some footnotes are included. If the environment ends before the page, the sidebar stops at the point where the environment ends, and does not reach the area where the footnotes are. On the other hand, if the environment extends to the next page, the sidebar goes all the way to the bottom of the page, crossing the footnotes, which causes an unaesthetic effect. Does anyone know how I could avoid this effect? -- --------------------- Joaquín Ataz López Derecho civil Universidad de Murcia ---------------------

I've been using context thanks to these installation steps on win 7 and win 10. I'm not sure what the targetgroup at the conference is, but if the people there ever used a commandline, they should be good to go. once you install, you open the commandline using Win+R and then type "cmd". Once in the cmd, you only need to know the command "cd" (change directory) to navigate to the folder where the .tex source is, so e.g. "cd c:\users\x\documents\" and then run "context test.tex". That is the manual way. I use sublimetext as text editor and made a new build for it, that when I press Ctrl+B saves all changes in the open file/folder and runs context on the open file and previews the pdf in mupdf that is zoomed to be 1:1 paper:print on my dpi. It's a bit like TeXworks, just press button and see the pdf, because mupdf automatically overwrites the open pdf without asking. It's 4 hours by train for me to Bonn and I'm not sure whether I'm a good candidate to teach people context due to my low skill, but I can surely teach you how to install lmtx on windows if you like (we could call or sth). Best, Andrej

Getting started with Japanese
by Gerben Wierda 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

I’d like to experiment a bit with typesetting Japanese in ConTeXt (LMTX), to see if it is doable. I tried looking for Japanese on ConTeXtgarden, but did not find anything. Can someone point me to instructions to get started with Japanese in LMTX (on macOS).

New tabulate features broken under new maths release
by Bruce Horrocks 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi Hans, A few months back you announced some new tabulate features and gave some examples, from which I have taken the following MWE: \starttext \starttabulate[|lG{}|lG{}|] \NC \showglyphs \setalignmentcharacter{=}111=111 \NC \setalignmentcharacter{=}111=111 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext This works under "ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.10 08:36 LMTX fmt: 2022.1.13 int: english/english" but fails to compile under "ConTeXt ver: 2022.07.06 21:42 LMTX fmt: 2022.7.9 int: english/english" with the Lua error: callback error: ...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ali.lmt:366: attempt to index a nil value (field '?') stack traceback: ...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ali.lmt:366: in upvalue 'openup' ...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ali.lmt:596: in upvalue 'third_pass' ...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ali.lmt:613: in upvalue 'nodes_handlers_fixmathalign' [string "local tonut = nodes.tonut..."]:17: in function <[string "local tonut = nodes.tonut..."]:8> (...tail calls...) ...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-pro.lmt:148: in function <...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-pro.lmt:146> Narrowing it down a bit, it seems to be the use of G{} as the MWE works with a plain \starttabulate[|l|l|] on the latest ConTeXt. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Hi Joel (et al.), I tried the SBL bibliography setup with the latest LMTX; the example and bib database are from Dennis’ article on ligatures in the upcoming CG journal: """ \usebtxdataset[default][references.bib] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext superior typographic output \cite[lefttext={e.g.}][taraborelli:beauty].

two issues with \sciteinlinebuffer
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi Hans, many thanks for the new release. I experience two issues with scite buffers: \usemodule[scite] \setuptyping[margin=yes] \starttext \startbuffer[b]b\stopbuffer \startTEXpage[offset=1em] no margin a \sciteinlinebuffer[none][b] a a \typeinlinebuffer[b][option] a \stopTEXpage \stoptext 1. Margin is applied to \sciteinlinebuffer. 2. An extra unwanted space is added after \sciteinlinebuffer. Isn’t it intended that \sciteinlinebuffer behaves in a similar way as \typeinlinebuffer? Many thanks for your help and your excellent work, Pablo

upload

Hi, We're pleased to announce the first official release of the new math code. We're talking of: -- a reworked math engine (which happened stepwise so some already trickled into previous uploads) -- settling on one model for display math but with alignment variants as well as improving inline math (e.g. wrt linebreaks) -- redoing bit of the (sub) numbering -- improving the alignment features (the traditional one and the text/page mode one) -- fixing the math font using all kind of tweaks in the goodie file -- providing means to annotate formulas -- we ditched support for \over simply because it is too fragile wrt spacing (one can \usemodule[oldmath] to get it back -- we might move some more alien stuff to m-oldmath in due time We paid a lot of attention to details of positioning, sizing and spacing of glyphs. We do have some documents in the making that describe this (some are in the ontarget namespace) and the second half of this year we use for writing a math manual (Mikael) and updating the luametatex manual (Hans). For sure we will run into unforseen issues, come up with additional things and try to please users who have demands. There are 'hidden' features that will be revealed stepwise. An example of some usage will be posted next. The pragma-ade.com domain is still in transfer but the nl one should work fine. There is now also a https://www.luametatex.org that might be get some more than there is now (when i find it useful but best to have the domain for the ctx group).
