two easy xml-questions
by Thomas A. Schmitz 13 Apr '08

13 Apr '08

Hi gang, speaking of xml... I have two easy questions, but can't find an answer. It's about tweaking the pdf-output I get: 1. How do you add an additional hyphenation to a word? How would I enter the equivalent of super\-duper in an xml-file? I tried super&addhyphen;duper with this definition: \defineXMLentity[addhyphen]{\-} in my environment, but this doesn't seem to work. 2. Similar question: how to prevent an unwanted ligature, esp. in German? In TeX, I write Kauf{}laden. What would be a good way to do this in xml? I was thinking of Kauf&nolig;laden and \defineXMLentity[nolig]{\kern0pt} Any thoughts? Thanks! Thomas

hyphenating bug
by Yue Wang 13 Apr '08

13 Apr '08

Hi Taco and Hans I was typesetting the manual of a software developed by me using ConTeXt while the problem occurred. I try to minimized the problem and the result is attached. luatex.pdf --- pdf produced by luatex 0.25.2 It seems luatex forgets to hyphenating capital words. I am not sure whether it is a bug of LuaTeX or ConTeXt. the output of pdftex 1.40.3 seems fine using the same output file described below. --input file \starttext THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'', WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

t-bib: URL and '%'; spacing between number and text
by Tobias Burnus 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi all, I have a .bib file which contains @article{foo, url = {http://..../a%bb%cc.html} i.e. an URL with % sign. I want to typeset it in the references using: \def\gotoURL#1{\useURL[foo][#1]\goto{\url[foo]}[url(foo)]} \unprotect \setuppublicationlayout[article]{% ... \insertbiburl{ }{.}{}% The problem is: If I do not escape the % signs, I get a TeX error. If I escape them with \%, both the link and the printed text show the backslash. What is the proper way of doing it? Another problem is that I have in the reference list, the space between "]" and the author name in [123]Author is too small (they overlap). Is there an easy possibility to make the spacing automatically right or does one need to tweek it manually? Tobias

Footnotes set outside of columns when using columnsets
by Elliot Clifton 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi, When using columnsets is it possible to have footnotes placed at the bottom of the page rather than in columns? I searched the documentation and haven't found a way to do this. Minimal examples. Using columnsets: \definecolumnset[twocolumn][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[twocolumn] \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \footnote[footnote]{footnote}\par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext It produces footnotes in columns which isn't what I want. The behaviour I want is the that produced by this example using \startcolumns: \starttext \startcolumns \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \footnote[footnote]{footnote}\par} \stopcolumns \stoptext I'd like to be able to take advantage of the addition feature offered by using columnsets but need the footnotes to be set at the bottomof the page outside of the columns. Advice on how to do this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Elliot

luatexing
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 12 Apr '08

Hallo, I have a few silly questions about tex.print() To produce $\sqrt{2}=1.4142135623731$ it should be enough to write tex.print("$\\sqrt{2}=" .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$") or better tex.print([[$\sqrt{2}=]] .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$") but that's both not working. The following instead does the job: tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2}=" .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$") why? Another question: What is the differenz between 'tex.sprint()' and 'tex.write()'? Wolfgang

Hallo, the following compiles ok, but gives me an status 3=fatal error. Can someone please point me to the error? \startlua mp = mplib.new ( { hash_size = 100000, main_memory = 2000000, param_size = 100000, } ) if mp then res = mp:execute( "beginfig(1) draw (0,0) ..

new version luatex / mkiv
by Hans Hagen 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi, There is a new version of luatex and mkiv. You need to update them together. The best place to get them is the contextgarden (which will probably have the new versions pretty soon). This release of is rather substantial: no longer is metaposts called, but mplib is used instead. This bring down metapost runtime and conversion to nearly zero. The user interface is the same, but the implementation is different. Tomorrow (or so) taco will make releasenotes.
