luatex crash around page 1000
by Peter Rolf 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi, I have a compilation problem with a data driven document. This is what I get after around 12min (first run)... [..] pages > flushing realpage 991, userpage 970, subpage 991 pages > flushing realpage 992, userpage 971, subpage 992 pages > flushing realpage 993, userpage 972, subpage 993 mtx-context | fatal error: return code: -1073741571 It compiles fine if I just use the first or second "half" of the data. But as soon as I reach a certain amount of pages, it crashes. An older version compiled fine with 958 users pages (977 total). Seems that the data has reached a dimension that causes a resource problem. Any advice? I looked into "texmf.cnf" and "texmfcnf.lua" for possible bottlenecks, but I lack the knowledge what to change. And it simply takes too much (run)time to just play around with some values.

variable edef with localhsize calculation
by Rörig, Julian 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Dear All, I try to save \localhsize in a variable (with \edef), but whenever the enclosure changes, my variable changes too. \starttext \edef\myVar{\dimexpr (\localhsize-15pt)\relax} localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\ myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\ \setupnarrower[middle=50mm] \startnarrower localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\ myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\ \stopnarrower \stoptext I would expect that myVar has the same value inside the narrower as outside, because I used \edef and not \def. Is there another variable I can use, or does someone knows a solution for this specific problem? Thanks, Julian btw. everything works as expected, if I do not use \localhsize.

Unwanted uppercase letter in \high{} within bibliography
by Damien Thiriet 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hello @list, I have an unwanted output that might be a bug in my bibliographies. Consider this MWE : \setuppapersize[S4] \mainlanguage[fr] \language[fr] \startbuffer[bib] @book{Manuel5, editor = {Martin Ivernel and Benjamin Villemagne and Jean Hubac}, title = {Histoire Géographie EMC 5\high{ème}, cycle 4}, publisher = {Hatier}, address = {Paris}, year = {2016}, pagetotal = {398}, language = {french} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \definebtxrendering [biblio] [apa] [numbering=no, sorttype=cite, title="Bibliographie"] \starttext \nocite[Manuel5] \placelistofpublications \stoptext As you can see, we get Ème in the output instead of ème. Is this a bug, or did I miss something? Regards, Damien Thiriet

Setupheadertexts with if-condition
by Huseyin Özoguz 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hello mailing list, I want to use an simple if-condition for this code: \setupheadertexts [][][][{\tfx\bf\getmarking[chapternumber] – \getmarking[chapter]}] My problem: In my case the document dont begin with a chapter but with a section. So at the first pages there is not chapter and chapternumber and the "–" is printed alone. So I want something like this: \if\getmarking[chapternumber] {\getmarking[chapternumber] – \getmarking[chapter]} \fi That is of course no valid code. How to implement that if-condition? Thanks! -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

gnuplot-module broken under lmtx
by Christian Prim 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi It's little off-topic as there are officially no modules included in lmtx. But when I used the modules from a mkiv-installation, there was little to no problem. But with the gnuplot-module I can't fix the error myself. MWE: \usemodule[gnuplot] \startGNUPLOTscript[sin] plot sin(x) \stopGNUPLOTscript \starttext \placefigure[here]{Sine Test}{\useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin]} \stoptext Under mkiv everything is fine. mkiv creates a file gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt, sends this file to gnuplot and uses the output gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex. Under lmtx only the files gnuplot-gnuplot-1.tmp and gnuplot-gnuplot-inclusions.tmp are created. When I copy the correct .plt file from a mkiv-run, no gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex is generated. If I copy the correct -ctx.tex file from a mkiv-run, I still get an error. Relevant part from the logfile of a working mkiv-run: modules > 'gnuplot' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name '/home/user/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' loading > Gnuplot module open source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 3, order 5, name '/home/user/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded open source > level 3, order 6, name 'gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex' close source > level 3, order 6, name 'gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex' metapost > initializing instance 'metafun:1' using format 'metafun' and method 'default' metapost > loading 'metafun' as '/home/user/context/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mpiv/metafun.mpiv' using method 'default' metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' floatblocks > '1' placed (here) from a lmtx-run (no .plt-file and -ctx.tex given): modules > 'gnuplot' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' loading > Gnuplot module open source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 3, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded mtxrun | mtxrun | executing: gnuplot gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt mtxrun | mtxrun | /home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun.lua:26166: attempt to call a nil value (field 'exec') aaa > mtxrun --direct gnuplot gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt floatblocks > no block given floatblocks > '1' placed (here) lmtx with given .plt and -ctx.tex-file: modules > 'gnuplot' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' loading > Gnuplot module open source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 4, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 3, order 5, name '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.mkiv' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded mtxrun | mtxrun | executing: gnuplot gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt mtxrun | mtxrun | /home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun.lua:26166: attempt to call a nil value (field 'exec') aaa > mtxrun --direct gnuplot gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt open source > level 3, order 6, name 'gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex' close source > level 3, order 6, name 'gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex' metapost > initializing instance 'metafun:1' using format 'metafun' and method 'default' metapost > loading 'metafun' as '/home/user/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mpiv/metafun.mpiv' using method 'default' metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' floatblocks > '1' placed (here) tex error > tex error on line 1 in file gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex: !

Strange behavior in math mode: < and minus sign give leftarrow
by Otared Kavian 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi Hans, While testing old documents with lmtx, I noticed that with recent versions of mkiv, as well as LuaMetaTeX, there is a strange behavior in math mode: when the characters < and - follow each other one gets \leftarrow… This is embarrassing when one writes inequalities for negative numbers. So one has to separate them in order to obtain with curly braces. Can this be fixed or is it intended ? \starttext $\alpha < -1$ $\alpha \leftarrow 1$ $\alpha < {-1}$ $\alpha {<} - 1$ \stoptext Best regards: OK

DIN lang folder with crop marks
by Benjamin Koppe 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hallo, I'm new to ConTeXt and am crazy enough to start with something nonstandard. Of course I got stuck pretty fast. I started out with this: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/DIN_lang_folder and then found some info on crop marks here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PaperSetup#Crop_marks I tried different options (marked=on, market=colour, marked=color..., something with \setuplayout[location={middle,middle}]...) Some times the crop marks don't show at all, sometimes they are set off a bit so they don't fit with the actual document. I added the whole file as I really do not knwo (yet) how to reduce things... Thanks for any help De Benny

Fwd: SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop
by Nicola Vitacolonna 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Sorry, forgot to forward to the mailing list: > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Nicola Vitacolonna <nvitacolonna(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop > Date: 10 April 2019 at 17:50:26 CEST > To: Hans Hagen <j.hagen(a)xs4all.nl> > > Hans, OK, > thanks for the feedback. I was able to get TeXShop to work as explained by OK—that’s already a progress. I prefer to use Vim, so I’ll see whether I can cook something myself using AppleScript and Skim and parsing the ConTeXt-generated .synctex file. Is the synctex format currently used by ConTeXt described anywhere? > > Thanks again, > Nicola
