Special layouts don't recognise placeinitial
by Eduardo Bohoyo 24 May '21

24 May '21

My question will be very simple: Is there a trick to make \placeinitial command work within makeup pages? One of my pages inside the /frontmater/ is a quote page within an special layout. Before using LMTX, when I could use the Lettrine module, that quote started with a capital letter. But now that I use \placeinitial, the first letter no longer changes: it remains a simple initial capital letter. On the other hand, when I use \placeinitial for each first paragraph in the chapters of my book, the result is as expected. That is, the command works fine as long as it stays within the general layout. This is the code I'm referring to: \startmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes] \setuplayout[backspace=176pt,width=194pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=22pt] \style[tfa] \startalignment[hanging,flushleft,nothyphenated] \placeinitial Ahora, vosotros que amáis, dejadme que os formule una pregunta: ¿quién sufre más por ello, Arcite o Palamón? ¿El que ve a su dama diariamente, pero está encerrado para siempre, o el que es libre de ir donde le plazca, pero no verá nunca más a su dama? Aquellos de vosotros que podáis, elegid entre las dos situaciones a voluntad; yo, por mi parte, continuaré como he empezado. \stopalignment \startalignment[hanging,flushright,nothyphenated] \blank[0.8cm,force]{\tfa\sc Geofrey Chaucer,\hspace[big]} \blank[0.1cm,force]{\tfa\em The Canterbury Tales \hspace[big]} \stopalignment \stopmakeup Eduardo Bohoyo

LMTX install
by jbf 23 May '21

23 May '21

Someone will quickly clarify what I am doing wrong here. Have used mkiv until now but decided to download and install LMTX in /home/me/bin/context. I then ran export PATH=/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH as the install script indicated at the end. When running mk iv, I always first ran a setup line (in my case it was . /home/me/Documents/Freedom/Context/tex/setuptex). Do I need to run a setup also for LMTX installed as above? And what one, because there is no 'setuptex' as far as I can see. If I just run context myfile.tex I get the mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' message. Does this mean my 'path' command didn't work (and why not? It should have) or do I still need to run a setup before I try to compile? Julian

mathfun
by Hans Hagen 23 May '21

Hi, I uploaded an lmtx update (only m-mathfun added). Attached a short description of this (windy stormy friday afternoon) math experiment. The question is, what similar features using this trickery come to mind.

Unwanted upright math in MkIV
by Gavin 23 May '21

23 May '21

Hello, I’m using ConTeXt with MacOS. The current version of MkIV produces upright math rather than italic. MWE: \starttext \m{f = \beta} \stoptext The above example produces italic math TeXLive 2021 ConTeXt and in the current, LMTX. Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I am doing something wrong. I am running ConTeXt from TexShop using this engine: #!/bin/zsh export PATH=/Users/Gavin/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context --luatex --autopdf "$1” Thanks!

In the preamble I have the following setup for the chapter header setup. There is one chapter I want to have a different heading setup with some less spacing, what would be the easiest way to achieve this? \setuphead [section] [style=bold, before={\vskip 4mm}, after={\vskip 1.5mm}]

LMTX install
by Benny Schurig 23 May '21

23 May '21

Hi Julian, afaik with lmtx a setup is not necessary. With mk iv it established the tex tree. With lmtx the tree is somehow self-contained. I use lmtx and point the compile command of my editor of choice (Geany, Kile, Texmaker, Emacs whatever) directly to .../context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context [file] Best, Benny PS: First answer with phone, html message, weird stuff -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: jbf <roma83537(a)gmail.com> Datum: So., 23.

Trouble constructing a drawer rail with MP
by Willi Egger 22 May '21

Hello MP Gurus! I wanted to make a technical drawing. However the enclosed mwe does not give me the required results. While the vector from point 1 is directing in the desired direction of 194 degrees, the second vector from point 2 does not as defined point in the direction of 166 degrees. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for pointing me into the right direction :-) Willi
