Three problems with ConTeXt standalone for armhf
by Lutz Haseloff 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Hi all, 1. the luatex binary for linux armhf is too old for the recent version of ConTeXt. It is a 1.0.3 from March 2017. 2. first problem would be not a so big one, but since development level 6505 I'm not able to compile the experimental luatex myself anymore. It compiles luajittex but not luatex. My call to build.sh is: sh ./build.sh --jit --parallel 1>compile.log 2>error.log I append the error.log. 3. In first-setup.sh is an entry for armv7l. On my system, "uname -m" shows armv8l. After every download of the script, I have to edit it. If someone adds a section for armv8l, I could use the original first-setup.sh without changing armv7l to armv8l. Greetings Lutz -- GPG Key ID 3C4F83BC

Bug? numberstopper in references
by bbvogel＠home.nl 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Dear list, When I use the numberstopper option in setupcaptions it appears unexpectedly in the references. The wiki states otherwise. Wiki and a working example are listed below. Kind regards, Bernard wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcaptions: numberstopper MKIV only. The numberstopper text follows the number and, if present, the suffix, and precedes the caption text. It does not appear in references. Working example: \setupcaptions[table][numberstopper={:}] \starttext \placetable[here][tab:ships]{Ships that moored at Hasselt.}{ \starttable[|c|c|] \HL \NC \bf Year \NC \bf Number of ships \NC\SR \HL \NC 1645 \NC 450 \NC\FR \NC 1671 \NC 480 \NC\MR \NC 1676 \NC 500 \NC\MR \NC 1695 \NC 930 \NC\LR \HL \stoptable } ...

Word and character count excluding TeX-directives
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

To meet some formal guidelines, I need to provide a word count of my abstract and a character count of the main text, and a character count of all the text appearing in figure captions. Is this possible (maybe using some lua-magic)? Thank you! Thomas Minimal example: \definestartstop [abstract] [style=bold, after={\blank[big]}] \starttext \title{My title: example of a word and character count} {\strut\tfx Formal guidelines: word count of abstract: $x$, character count of main text: $x$, character count of figure captions: $x$.} \blank \startabstract This is the abstract. Read this and that. \stopabstract % start of the main text Some random text with formulas \startformula y = α + βx + ε, \quad ε \sim N(0,σ^2) \stopformula And there are also figures with captions. \startplacefigure[ location=bottom, title={Residual plot with time $t$ on the x-axis and residuals $e_{jt}$ on the y-axis}, reference={fig:subject-residual}] \externalfigure[residuals][height=.242\textheight] \stopplacefigure And some more text with $x$ and $y$ and $z$, and \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC a =\NC b \NR \NC c =\NC d \NR \stopalign \stopformula And stop. \stoptext

Labels and Enumerations
by Rik Kabel 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

I would like to request the restoration of labels (\definelabel) to full citizenship in MKIV. While enumerations are more flexible in many ways, they cannot replace one particular use of labels if find necessary. Enumerations are paragraph entities, while labels are not so restricted. I use labels displayed as numbers in the margin to serially identify quotations in a book about the development of quotation and misquotation, at the same time generating reference information for cross-referencing. While most quotations are blocks and can be handled by enumerations, many are in-line quotations, and enumeration cannot be used for these. The wiki describes enumerations as the MKIV replacement for labels, and the documentation as far as I can see omits \definelabel. Unless there is something else supported in MKIV that can assume this function of labels, can we please have full support for labels? I would not want to see labels deprecated before the functionality is reproduced. (Of course, if you can suggest how enumeration can be adapted to this requirement, or suggest an alternative mechanism, this request can be rejected.) -- Rik

luatex binary is too old
by Roger Mason 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hello, I just updated ConTeXt: context --version resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' resolvers | globbing | confusing filename, name: 'README.txt', lower: 'readme.txt', already: 'ReadMe.txt' mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2018.01.14 15:55 When I try to compile a file: context --mode=manuscript --result=MineralsGemsMS.pdf --purgeall MineralsGems.tex I get this error: !!!!: Your luatex binary is too old, you need at least version 1.05! Where do I get the updated luatex binary? I'm running on FreeBSD 10.3, 32 bit. Thanks for any help, Roger

context tarball distribution?
by Martin Fechner 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Dear list, Our slightly paranoid system administrator refuses to pull context via rsync on our development and production hosts. He says there's no protection against someone who may tamper with the data on its transfer like e.g. TLS-protected traffic via https. So I got the following question from him: Can ConTeXt be obtained as a tarball or zipfile? Preferably with version identifiers in the name so he can ensure the parity of the installations across severeal host. Greetings, Martin

uservariables in heads and lists
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Jan '18

Hi, it’s been a while... For a scientific magazine I need subtitles in the margin and authors as well as subtitles in my ToC. I didn’t yet try the latter, since I got stuck with the first. Here’s my complete, not really working example: """ \usemodule[visual] \setuplayout[ backspace=21mm, topspace=12mm, width=117mm, height=270mm, header=15mm, headerdistance=2mm, footer=3mm, footerdistance=4mm, rightmargindistance=5mm, rightmargin=55mm, leftmargin=0mm, grid=yes, location=doublesided ] \define[2]\ChapterCmd{% {\bfa #2} {\inouter{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}} } \setuphead[chapter][ page=right, command=\ChapterCmd, ] \starttext %\showlayout \starttitle[title={Content}][subtitle={}] %\placelist[chapter][criterium=all] \stoptitle \startchapter [title=My Title,][% is this necessary? subtitle=My Subtitle, author=Me and I] \fakewords{100}{200} \stopchapter \stoptext """ Problems: (1) The subtitle is not in the margin as defined by \setuplayout, but beside the chapter title.

Firstline problem with smallcaps
by Rik Kabel 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

When \setfirstline is used to set the first line of a paragraph in a small-cap style, the line is mis-set. This does not occur with every font and input, but occurs with most fonts and many inputs. The problem does not seem to be awakened by other styles (emboldened, italicized). \definefirstline[SC][alternative=line,style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps}]% or =\sc \definefirstline[BD][alternative=line,style=bold] \definefirstline[IT][alternative=line,style=italic] \setupbodyfont[termes,11pt]% requires font with small caps \starttext \setfirstline[SC] \startparagraph \input montgomery \stopparagraph \setfirstline[BD] \startparagraph \input montgomery \stopparagraph \setfirstline[IT] \startparagraph \input montgomery \stopparagraph \stoptext -- Rik
