Writing to .tuc directly from Lua
by Jairo A. del Rio 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, list. I read about this: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg60217.html But I want to know how to pass data to the .tuc file directly from Lua. I think about some complex strings are calculations which are done in each pass and slow down the whole compilation process. Something like: local function factorial(n) if in_tuc then -- whatever in_tuc means return factorials[n] else ... factorials[n] = ... return ... end end Is that feasible? Should I use the CLD versions of the TeX macros instead? Best regards, Jairo

Another bug with ligature-blocking?
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, I just ran into something strange with ligature blocking: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \blockligatures[begrif:fl:ich] \definefontfeature[default][default][dlig=yes,liga=yes,] \definefontfeature[default:block][default][blockligatures=yes] \definefontfamily[times][rm][Times New Roman] \definefontfamily[termes[rm][TeX Gyre Termes] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[times] \definedfont[Serif*default] begrifflich \blank \definedfont[Serif*default:block] begrifflich \switchtobodyfont[termes] \definedfont[Serif*default] begrifflich \blank \definedfont[Serif*default:block] begrifflich \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With <Times New Roman> I'm getting < begriff|lich> when blockligatures is activated. Does anyone know what's going on there? Best, Denis

No, no actually. I only put a toy example. What I need to solve is related with storing data in the .tuc file when processes take a long time. Memoization doesn't work as data is lost with each new run.

Replacement mechanism bug in LMTX?
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Ah, I've now realized that the \blockligatures needs to be activated as a font feature... So forget about this point.

Formulanumbers in margin
by Adam Reviczky 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hi, One more question on formulas. How can I get the formula number to be put into the left/right margin instead of left/right inside the text? I have tried the following: \starttext \showframe % figure caption into the margin \setupcaption[figure][location={rightmargin}] \startplacefigure[title=Cow] \externalfigure[cow] \stopplacefigure % this makes the formulanumber disappear % \setupformulas[location={rightmargin}] \startplaceformula[reference=eq1,location={rightmargin}] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \stopplaceformula \stoptext But the setupformulas will make the number disappear entirely, and the placeformula location doesn't seem to take the margin option. Thanks, Adam

Questions regarding \startexceptions and ligature prevention
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hi, there's this rather new mechanism for preventing ligatures: \startexceptions[de] au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asse au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asste \stopexceptions Two questions: 1. Can you have multiple \startexceptions[de] environments ? Will they accumulate ? (I'm thinking about preparing a general list of exceptions, but of course you will also want individual exceptions...) 2. What is the exact meaning of these four arguments ? {1}{2}{3} is clear, but what about the parentheses ? Best, Denis

Replacement mechanism?
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hi, last October I've reported a strange bug with \replaceword I know there's the new mechanism for dealing with ligatures, and I still intend to convert the word list to the new format, but I'm still wondering whether that has been fixed. Now, I've been testing with the minimal example below, and it looks there might be another bug with the replacement and ligature blocking mechanism: ------------------------------------------------------ % these don't prevent ligatures \replaceword[eka][auffasse][au{ff}asse] \replaceword[eka][auffasst][au{ff}asst] \replaceword[eka][auffasste][au{ff}asste] \replaceword[eka][asdf][jklö] % this works though \setreplacements[eka] % doesn't block the ff ligature \blockligatures[ff] % finally this here works \startexceptions[de] au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asse au{f-}{f}{ff}(f\zwnj f)asste \stopexceptions \starttext asdf % replacements work in general auffasste auffasse ff % now via exceptions: \language[de] auffasste auffasse ff \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------ Best Denis On 10/8/2020 3:15 PM, Denis Maier wrote: > Ok, > I've commented the whole nolig-german-wordlist out piece by piece, and > it looks like it comes down to this: > > ``` > \replaceword[eka][auffasse][au{ff}asse] > \replaceword[eka][auffasst][au{ff}asst] > > \setreplacements[eka] > > \starttext > auffasste > auffasse > \stoptext > ``` > > Uncommenting one of the \replacewords makes the wrong replacement > disappear. > But I don't see why "auffasste" should trigger an replacement.

Typing within doifmode leads to error
by Christoph Reller 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

Hi, Consider the following MWE: \definetyping[T] \definemode[mode][yes] \starttext \doifmode{mode}{% \startT Bla \stopT} \stoptext Compilation with the currently latest ConTeXt LMTX (ver: 2021.03.17 17:46 LMTX fmt: 2021.3.18) fails with: tex error > runaway error: end of file encountered mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 Compilation is successful if I replace doifmode{mode}{...} by \startmode[mode]...\stopmode. Is there anything I'm missing? (This could be a bug.) Cheers, Christoph Reller

(no subject)
by Adam Reviczky 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

Hi, Is there a way to have formula numbers showing all prefix segments? When I use prefixsegments, I get the desired numbering in the placelist but not in the formula number itself. For example: \starttext \setupcaption[figure][way=bytext,prefixsegments=1:*] \setupformulas[way=bytext,prefixsegments=1:*] \startsection[title=Section] \startsubsection[title=SubSection] \startplacefigure[list=cow] \externalfigure[cow] \stopplacefigure \startplaceformula[reference=eq1] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \stopplaceformula \stopsubsection \stopsection \placelistoffigures[criterium=all] \placelist[formula][criterium=all] \stoptext The figure has number 1.1.1 and is in the list as 1.1.1, the formula has number 1.1 but is listed as 1.1.1. I would like to have the formula numbered 1.1.1 as well (as referenced in the placelist), so with section and subsection numbering. Adam
