Hi Hans, the following sample complains about an undefined command with ConTeXt latest (2019.10.11 15:57): \starttext {\em æb} \stoptext I think this might be a bug in LMTX. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\fontdimen in LuaMetaTeX
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi, recent LuaMetaTeX versions no longer automatically resize the fontdimen arrays on assignments. Is there a way to manually resize them or is it necessary to reload a patched font you want more fontdimens? Also, there is an issue with the error message (I guess) for font.setfontdimen: \starttext \directlua{font.setfontdimen(0, 8, 0)} \stoptext gives token call, execute: invalid option '%i' to 'lua_pushfstring' stack traceback: [C]: in function 'font.setfontdimen' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk 1 \starttext 2 >> \directlua{font.setfontdimen(0, 8, 0)} 3 \stoptext 4 Best regards, Marcel

Bug with \wordright in LMTX version 2020-08-03 14:25
by Otared Kavian 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi Hans, A file which used to be typeset correctly with the previous versions of lmtx, now produces an error. Despite the error message being extremely cryptic: Error ! Missing number, treated as zero I could guess the origin of the bug, which seems to be \wordright, but although the following minimal example shows a bug it does not produce the same ERROR output page: %%%% the square ''end of proof'' \definesymbol[Fin][\mathematics{\square}] \def\qed{\wordright{\symbol[Fin]}} \starttext \startformula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \stopformula \qed % the problem is here \stoptext In the above example if one adds something before \qed, then the square end-of-proof appears. However in my real file ConTeXt ouputs an error page and says: Error ! Missing number, treated as zero. Best regards: Otared

lmtx update
by Hans Hagen 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hi, Sorry for the long mail ... One of the changes in lmtx is that we freeze the properties that determine the paragraph shape as well as breaking into lines in such a way that we have predictable behaviour. As a side effect it can be that existing code (lmtx only) will behave differently (will be fixed when we notice) but also that some low level user tweaking can not work, i.e. they are just ignored, but only when they happen mid paragraph which actually is always debatable anyway. Now, if for some reasom you get unexpected results and can't wait for a fix, you can do this: \forgetparagraphfreezing : disables \setparagraphfreezing : enables (default) Of course it might have other side effects once in lmtx we everywhere expect freezing to be enabled. You can take a snapshot with: \freezeparagraphproperties : snapshot relevant parameters \defrostparagraphproperties : resets snapshot More efficient is snapshotting a subcategory: \updateparagraphproperties : all \updateparagraphpenalties : only penalties \updateparagraphdemerits : other than penalties \updateparagraphshapes : hangindent etc Don't use the low level commands that they use because we take plenty of time to experiment at that level and interfaces might evolve, for instance: \frozen\hangindent 30pt \frozen\hangafter 2 is valid and will likely stay. We're talking of a conceptually rather different approach. Internally the engine is still doing the same things but we can control it a bit differently. Due to the way ConTeXt is set up, we can make such a paradigm shift without too much troubles. I'll wrap up more details in an article later. Other work in progress is: better columns in itemize, esp proper footnote support (not that I ever need that but I know users do so ...), experiments work ok, but I need to check spacing. In general, footnotes (will) behave a bit better, especially those used nested in other mechanisms. A side effect of more control is that we can do other tricks too and we're playing with it (kind of fun). More work in progress concerns paragraph wrappers and that will result in a rewrite of some existing mechanism (generic subsystems with instances), but that might as well go unnoticed. To give an idea of possibilities, here is an example: \definedescription[whatever][alternative=right:bottom] \startwhatever{just a small\\example} \input ward \stopwhatever No one ever requested it so see it an a quick and dirty example but don't hesitate to ask for more anyway (we like an occasional challenge). Anyway, it might take some weeks / iterations before all this settles down and now you can't say that we didn't warn you.

Notation of the first derivative in mathematical mode (lmtx)
by Fabrice Couvreur 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hello, I replaced the context engine with the lmtx engine but I find that the derivative symbol is too high regardless of the font used. I mainly use modern and pagella because I type many texts using mathematics: can we correct this problem, Thanks for your help. Fabrice \starttext \startitemize[n] \startitem \math{f'(x)=x²+4x+4} \stopitem \startitem \math{f''(x)=2x+4} \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext

consistent index entries
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

Hi, besides the CG journal I’m working on a scientific biography with huge person and locality indexes (named Person and Locality for the examples). In many cases, the author wants additional information in the index, e.g. \Locality{Altona (Hamburg)} \Locallity{Breslau (pol. Wrocław)} or \Person{Arends, Katharina (née Schoemaker)} \Person{Wilhelm II. (Kaiser)} Now, I need that consistent and I don’t want to type these complicated entries every time. I’m looking for a good way to handle this – maybe a lookup table in Lua, so that \LookupPerson{Willy II} would call a Lua function that returns \Person{Wilhelm II. (Kaiser)} ? Or is there already something in place that I overlooked, like \OverwriteIndexEntry{Hraban}{Ramm, Henning Hraban} ? Hraban
