upcoming current
by Hans Hagen 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi, We're entering the TeXLive code freeze period. TL 2019 will ship luatex 1.10 (currently we have 1.09 but that version number will be bumped). After 1.00 this more or less what stock luatex will be from now on. In a few weeks we will post a new current. As previous years it will probably take a few currents before mojca/luigi push it into the tex live repository. Of course serious bugs (show stoppers) will be fixed but no functional changed wil happen. As most users normally update from the garden fixes will happen anyway, but it's nice to have a tl version that works well. After that I will start shuffling around some lua code that can be better organized and as that might lead to (e.g. renaming) issues it's best if users keep a snapshot, although as usual fixes will be asap. On the agenda for later this year are for instance some more font juggling (more for fun), new metapost modules (alan is for instance working on a new graph module), some bidi-layout stuff, some (interfaces to) low level math configuration options (needs thinking). These will happen in the betas but they are unlikely to interfere with regular functionality. If something more drastic happens I'll try not to forget to warn you. We currently have mkii and mkiv, using the rsync based installer. Mkii is frozen for years now, and seldom needs fixes. I have a new installer in the working that uses http (so we can avoid rsyn port limitations that some organizations impose) and that one will be used to experiment with a mkiv only installation (it works ok at my end already, a bit slower initial install but a faster update). For all this to be possible the context garden as well as the build farm are pretty important.

Re: [NTG-context] index problem: [entry not flushed]
by Jeong Dal 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Dear all, Since the customized Theorem structure is already complicate, I just extract \index from the title as following: \startTheorem{\bf title of theorem} \index{title of theorem} bla bla bla \stopTheorem In this way, I cleared the message "[entry not flushed]” in the indices. There may be a better way. However, I couldn’t locate what hindered the resetting of counter Exam yet. I have to check the definition in the environment file one by one. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

CID set missing with plain fontloader
by Ulrike Fischer 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

When I run \font\test={name:Georgia} \test abcx \bye with the plain fontloader (similar with luaotfload), and then check in preflight against the pdf/A-2b or pdf/A-3b I get (beside other not relevant complaints) CIDset in subset font is incomplete (font contains glyphs that are not listed) The details say additionally (translated): "CID stream contains *all* CID sets of the embedded font: not true" If I run with context \starttext \font\test={name:Georgia} \test abcx \stoptext I don't get the complain. What is context doing additionally here? I don't think that it is a engine problem, I tried also with luatex 1.09.0 and 1.09.2. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

index problem: [entry not flushed]
by Jeong Dal 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Dear all, I just found that the counter problem has no relation with theorems. It happened without theorems while some examples worked correctly. There may be another problem in my definitions in environment file. I’ll do more tests. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

about the location of subscript of integral sign
by Jeong Dal 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi, Four days ago, I updated the standalone ConTeXt and found a strange behavior in the integral sign. The number at the bottom is far from the integral sign while the number at the top is OK. I don’t know when it began since I didn’t use \int for a few month. Here is a small sample. In the output, you can see the location of “a” is too far from the integral sign. Here is the beginning of log file. ******** This is LuaTeX, Version 1.09.0 (TeX Live 2019/dev) system commands enabled. open source > level 1, order 1, name '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2019.01.25 20:06 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.1.28 int: english/english system > *********** Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%%% \starttext \startformula \int_a^b f(x)\ dx \stopformula $\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\ dx$ and $ \int_a^b f(x)\ dx$ \setupmathematics[integral=nolimts] \startformula \int_a^b f(x)\ dx \stopformula $\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\ dx$ and $ \int_a^b f(x)\ dx$ \stoptext

State of the reference manual contextref.pdf
by Marco Patzer 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi! I'm wondering about the state of the reference manual contextref.pdf. The wiki states “ConTeXt reference manual. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date general manual[…]” Date: September 27, 2013 There used to be SVN access on foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextman, but apparently it's permanently down. Where is the manual hosted at the moment? The wiki still points to foundry.supelec.fr: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Improving_the_manuals Some years ago there was a discussion about moving it to github. But I doubt that has ever taken place. Marco

about vertical alignment
by Jeong Dal 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Dear all, I used \itemtag in \starttabulate to make columns in itemization for some reasons. Actually, it works fine. For more detailed alignment, I’d like to ask about the fine tuning of vertical alignment. Here is an MWS. %%%%%%% \showframe \starttext \startitemize[n] \item Prove the following identity. \startitemize[n][stopper=)] \item ${\displaystyle \int \tan^n x \,dx=\frac{\tan^{n-1}x}{n-1}-\int \tan^{n-2}x \,dx}$ ($n>1$) \item ${\displaystyle \int \sec^n x \,dx=\frac{\sec^{n-2}x \tan x}{n-1}+\frac{n-2}{n-1} \int \sec^{n-2}x \,dx}$ $(n>1)$ \stopitemize \item Integration \startitemize[n][stopper=)] \starttabulate[||lw(.42\textwidth)||lw(.42\textwidth)|] \NC\itemtag\NC ${\displaystyle \int (2x+3)e^{-x} \,dx}$ \NC\itemtag\NC ${\displaystyle \int x^2e^{x} \,dx}$ \NC\NR\TB[halfline] \NC\itemtag\NC ${\displaystyle \int x \cos x ~d x }$ \NC\itemtag\NC ${\displaystyle \int x^2 \cos 2x ~d x }$ \NC\NR\TB[halfline] \stoptabulate\stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext %%%%%%%% In the output, the second itemization number is aligned at the starting point of “Prove …”. But the second itemization number of \itemtag is not at the starting point of “Integration…” So, it looks a little bit awkward. Of course, it is because of "lw(.42\textwidth)…” things. Is there a method to make the starting point of \itemtag aligned to that of the “Integration…”? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Vertical space with "alternative=middle" for unnumbered sections
by Wolfgang Schuster 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Hi, when I use \setuphead[alternative=middle] with a unnumbered header (e.g. \title) I still get the vertical space where the counter is placed, is this intended? \setuphead [chapter] [alternative=middle] \showframe[text][text] \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \title{Title} \stoptext Wolfgang

\date behaving strange
by martin 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

I'm getting a bit confused. The \date function doesn't result in a formatted date. That goes for some files that are a few weeks old. What am I missing? \starttext \date[d=2,m=3,y= 2018] \stoptext results in: d=2m=3y= 2018 An optional formatting parameter has no effect \date[d=1, m=4, y=2018][weekday, {\\}, dd,{-}, mm,-, year] using: mtx-context | current version: 2019.02.07 18:46

Automatic thousands separation in \unit
by Marco Patzer 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

Hi! I'm wondering if there's a way to have automatic thousands separation in the \unit command? \spaceddigits does that, but it doesn't work inside \unit. And using both would be quite verbose to write. Example: \starttext %% no thousands separation \unit{123456789 volt} %% manual thousands separation works \unit{123,456,789 volt} %% automatic thousands separation, but not using \unit \let\spaceddigitsseparator, \spaceddigits{123456789}\,V %% fails, no output \unit{\spaceddigits{123456789} volt} \stoptext Marco
