dx in setuplayout problem
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi all, Trying to print visit cards as in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/BusinessCard I encounter a problem as the location=middle seems not to work as expected. Here is my minimal example: ................ \definepapersize[BC][width=85mm,height=54mm] \definelayer[blocks][width=85mm,height=54mm] \setuppapersize[BC][A4] \setuplayout[nx=2,ny=5,dx=10mm] \setuplayout[location=middle,width=fit,height=fit] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \showframe[edge] \starttext moi et moi \stoptext ................. There is no symmetry in the output as can be seen in the attached file. This symmetry problem disappears if I drop the «dx=10mm» so maybe the trouble lies in this instruction. Sorry if this question already arised. -- Jean

> it seems that luatex 1.0.0 doesn't recognise the cambria normal ... I experienced the same problem. After removing font caches, I can obtain normal shape cambria. Best, Akira

Luatex 1.0.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Version 1.0.0 After some ten years of development and testing, today we have released LuaTeX 1.0.0! Instead of staying below one and ending up with versions like 0.99.1234, we decided that the moment is there to show the TeX audience that LuaTeX is stable enough to loose its beta status. Although functionality has evolved and sometimes been replaced, we have been using LuaTeX in production right from the start. Of course there are bugs and for sure we will fix them. Our main objective is to provide a variant of TeX that permits user extensions without the need to adapt the inner workings. We did add a few things here and there but they mostly relate to opening up the inner parts and/or the wish to influence some hard coded behaviour. Via Lua we managed to support modern functionality without bloating the code or adding more and more dependencies on foreign code. In the process a stable and flexible MetaPost library became part of the engine. The functionality as present now will stay. We might open up some more parts, we will stepwise clean up the code base while staying as close as possible to the Knuthian original, we will try to document bits and pieces. We might also experiment a bit with better isolation of the backend, and simplify some internals. For that we might use the experimental version but if we divert too much we may need to give that another name. We want to thank all those who have tested the betas and helped to make LuaTeX better.

Bug in \usetikzlibrary{datavisualization}?
by Florian Leupold 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Dear list, when one tries to load the TikZ data visualization library, the documents does not compile anymore. The error is “.../tikzlibrarydatavisualization.code.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero”. I have also tried this using ConTeXt online, to the same end: http://live.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/output.cgi?id=jSjLZO \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary{datavisualization} \starttext Hello world! \stoptext Is this a known bug?

Looking for wiki master(s)
by Mojca Miklavec 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi, While discussing the state of the wiki during the ConTeXt conference, we came up with proposal to find a person (or a small group of people) whose task would be to: - extract the list of all existing wiki pages (you can get help with that) - group them in reasonable blocks (fonts, graphics, installation, ...) - push/remind the community to look into individual blocks at scheduled times We could for example have special "focus weeks" such as "installation week" where a list of all pages related to installation would be posted on the mailing list with the goal to clean those chapters up or to write the missing content. We need someone who will post reminders and push people. It would also be very helpful to have someone who would come up with a list of missing topics and some proposals to restructure and better organize the pages. (We realized that it might be easy to find people to go over one single page at a time, but no one has stepped forward to actively organize this work.) Looking forward to hear from new volunteers, Mojca (in the name of the brainstorming group at the ConTeXt meeting)

Hi all, it seems that luatex 1.0.0 doesn't recognise the cambria normal from the ttc. I can only access the italic, bold, bolditalic and math. I use minimal context under win7 and win10, both x64. Greetings Lutz

Overfull boxes in bibliography
by Henri Menke 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Dear list, I noticed, that even though I set \version[temporary] to make overfull boxes visible, they were not marked with an overfullrule in the bibliography. Below you find a minimal example which reproduces the problem on TL 2016. First I typeset the entry by hand where the black rectangle shows up in the margin, then I format it automatically using \placelistofpublications where no box is shown. How can I have overfull boxes highlighted in the bibliography? Many thanks, Henri --- \startbuffer[biblio] @article{Heisenberg1926, author = {Heisenberg, W.}, title = {Mehrk\"orperproblem und Resonanz in der Quantenmechanik}, journal = {Zeitschrift f\"ur Physik}, year = {1926}, volume = {38}, number = {6}, pages = {411--426}, issn = {0044-3328}, doi = {10.1007/BF01397160}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01397160} } \stopbuffer \version[temporary] \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext \showframe \setupitemize[left={[},right={]},width=3em,stopper=] \startitemize[n] \item W.

stoptabulate undefined control sequence when used with placetable
by Jan U. Hasecke 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Hi all, with LuaTeX 1.0.0 I get an undefined control sequence error when compiling an example from the wiki. \placetable[force,none]{}{% \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate } or \startplacetable[location=force,number=no] \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stopplacetable In both cases \stoptabulate is reported as undefined. Without \placetable everything is ok. juh -- Soziale Plastik. Die Kunst der Allmende Essay zum 30. Todestag von Joseph Beuys http://www.amazon.de/dp/1523458763/ Taschenbuch, 130 Seiten, EUR 9,90
