new upload - hyphenation
by Hans Hagen 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Hi, One can suppress hyphenation with: \setupalign[nothyphenated] but it has some limitations. The low level switches are \nohyphens and \dohyphens. Anyway, this mechanism has now been improved a bit: \starttext \startbuffer NEDERLANDS\par Nederlands\par nederlands\par \CONTEXT \par test\-test\par test-test \par \stopbuffer \blank \start \nl \hsize 2mm \getbuffer \stop \blank \blank \start \nl \hsize 2mm \nohyphens \getbuffer \stop \blank \startbuffer \nohyphens NEDERLANDS {\dohyphens Nederlands} nederlands\par \stopbuffer \blank \start \nl \hsize 2mm \getbuffer \stop \blank \startbuffer NEDERLANDS {\nohyphens Nederlands} nederlands\par \stopbuffer \blank \start \nl \hsize 2mm \getbuffer \stop \blank \stoptext We can (and probably will) add more granularity in this but now \nohyphens will also deal with explicit \discretionary (as used in the \CONTEXT definition) as well as \- and - in addition to the normal pattern driven hyphenation. It also obeys grouping. (this improvement concerns lmtx only) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

How can I use ConTeXt from TeXLive2020 ?
by Otared Kavian 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Hi all, I suggested to a friend, who is using plain TeX and LaTeX, to switch to ConTeXt, and since he is using TeXShop on MacOSX with a version of TeXLive2020 (named MacTeX2020), I thought he would just typeset a simple test document with the option « ConTeXt (LuaTeX) » from the menu in TeXShop, where it does appear. Unfortunately when doing this all he gets in the log file is: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory. mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' and I could not help him make the format (I do not have access to his machine, and I was trying to explain what to do on the phone). He cannot (or does not want) to install a standalone version of ConTeXt, and he thinks that since ConTeXt exists in TeXLive2020 it should work out of the box, as do plain TeX and LaTeX. My opinion is that he is right… But since for the tim ebeing this is not the case, can anyone explain what to do in order to enable ConTeXt running from TeXLive2020? Thanks in advance for any help: Otared K.

Dear list, In the MWE below you don't get lines and paragraphs numbered correctly: \setuplinenumbering[location=inner,align=right,style=\tfxx,distance=10pt,color=red] \setupparagraphnumbering[state=start,style=bold,distance=0pt,color=darkblue] \setuphead[title][alternative=text,style=bold] \setuphead[subject][alternative=text,style=bolditalic] \setuphead[subsubject][alternative=text,style=\ss] \setuphead[subsubsubject][alternative=text,style=\ss\it] \startbuffer[waltham] \input waltham \stopbuffer \starttext \startlinenumbering \starttitle[title={Waltham}] \dorecurse{4}{\getbuffer[waltham]\par} \startsubject[title={Waltham}] \dorecurse{5}{\getbuffer[waltham]\par} \startsubsubject[title={Waltham}] \dorecurse{5}{\getbuffer[waltham]\par} \startsubsubsubject[title={Waltham}] \dorecurse{2}{\getbuffer[waltham]\par} \stopsubsubsubject \stopsubsubject \stopsubject \stoptitle \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Have I hit a bug?

orphans and widows not working in LMTX?
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showframe\showgrid \setuppapersize[A7] \setuplayout[setups=*lessstrict] \startsetups[*lessstrict] \widowpenalty=1000 \clubpenalty=1000 \brokenpenalty=1000 \stopsetups \setupbodyfont[15pt] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{a\\ b\\ c\\ d\par} \stoptext Compiling it with current latest in LMTX (2020.08.07 23:37) leaves an orphan line on page 2 (page #2 starts with "d"). MkIV beta from 2020.01.30 14:13 moves the the last line to avoid the orphan (page #2 starts with "c"). Could anyone confirm the issue with orphans/widows in LMTX? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

new upload
by Hans Hagen 09 Aug '20

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx ... not much done due to the heat (entered reading mode instead) but ... apart from some work in progress ... we now have some basic bitwise operations (maybe we need some more). So far we have: \startlines \meaning\bitwiseset \meaning\bitwisenot \meaning\bitwisenil \meaning\bitwiseand \meaning\bitwiseor \meaning\bitwisexor \meaning\ifbitwiseand \stoplines used as: \scratchcounter = \bitwiseand "01 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwiseand "01 with "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwiseand "03 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \par \scratchcounter = \bitwiseor "01 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwiseor "01 with "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwiseor "03 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \par \scratchcounter = \bitwisexor "01 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwisexor "01 with "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \quad \scratchcounter = \bitwisexor "03 "02 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \par \scratchcounter = \bitwisenil \bitwisenil "0F "02 "01 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \par \scratchcounter = \bitwisenil \bitwisenil "0F with "02 with "01 \uchexnumbers{\scratchcounter} \par \scratchcounterone\zerocount \scratchcounterone \bitwiseset "FFFFFFF \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "8000000 YES \else NOP \fi \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "F000000 YES \else NOP \fi \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "1000000 YES \else NOP \fi \scratchcounterone \bitwisenot \scratchcounterone \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "8000000 YES \else NOP \fi \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "F000000 YES \else NOP \fi \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone "1000000 YES \else NOP \fi \scratchcounter \bitwiseand "01 "02 \scratchcounter \numexpr "01+"02\relax \ifcase \bitwiseand \scratchcounterone \plusone \else \fi \ifbitwiseand \scratchcounterone \plusone \else \fi \ifnum \scratchcounterone=\plusone \else \fi A while ago I played with bitwise operator sin \numexpr but in the end removed that because it's messy with the symbols to be used, but I will look at that agaon if needed.

How to properly pass TeX/Lua data to MetaPost/MetaFun?
by Jairo A. del Rio 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Hi, list! I'm doing the following to scale squares and other stuff in MetaPost/MetaFun. Although the following kinda works (maybe I'm just lucky with this), I want to know how to do a better piece from it. I'm concerned with passing data from Lua and TeX to Metapost and better ways to do it in ConTeXt. Thank you in advance. \starttext My text \startMPinitializations numeric myunit; myunit := \the\dimexpr1em\relax; \stopMPinitializations \startluacode userdata = userdata or {} userdata.dummydata = { {1, 2}, {3, 4} } context.startMPcode() for j=1,#userdata.dummydata do for i=1,#userdata.dummydata[1] do context("draw unitsquare scaled myunit shifted ((%d,%d)*myunit);", userdata.dummydata[i][j], userdata.dummydata[i][j]) end end context.stopMPcode() \stopluacode \stoptext Jairo :)

Using \applytosplitstringwordspaced and allies
by Jairo A. del Rio 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Hi, list! :D I've found \applytosplitstringwordspaced and many other commands reading on the mailing list and TeX StackExchange. An issue with those is: the following does not work: \applytosplitstringwordspaced\somemacro{\input knuth} It only works with explicit TeX "words". How to circumvent this inconvenience? Thanks in advance. Regards, Jairo :)

floats side by side
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hello again, I need to place several figures side by side (e.g. pictures of persons). I know I can use combinations, but I need the figures with captions included in the usual numbering of figures and not one number & caption for the combination. How can I achieve this? Best, Hraban

context --luatex does not redirect to LuaTeX
by Jairo A. del Rio 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hi again! When context --luatex is used with current version: 2020.08.07 23:37 LuaMetaTeX is still used. --engine=luatex has no effect, either. Is that a bug? Thanks Cordially, Jairo :)
