Luatex 0.85.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

New luatex release, 0.85.0 It's really a big change respect to 0.81.0 (see NEWS for a full report) and, well, there can be bugs (that of course we will solve). The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.85.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org When you use context or latex you need an updated format. The latest version of context can be fetched from the context garden, latex from ctan. For latex you can contact David and Joseph as they are dealing with the update. Have fun, Hans, Taco, Luigi (in this order :-) )

Problems with alignchar and width=broad
by Ben Morrow 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hi, [I'm not subscribed to the list, so I would appreciate it if people could keep me in the CC.] Recent versions of ConTeXt seem to have developed a problem with TABLE, where aligncharacter=yes and width=broad won't work together. This document demonstrates: \starttext \bTABLE[width=\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=broad] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=fit] \setupTABLE[c][3][width=fit,aligncharacter=yes] \bTR\bTD xxx \eTD\bTD 10 hrs @ 30 \eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[nc=2]\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR %\bTR\bTD\eTD\bTD\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Like that, with a row with [nc=2], the first two columns are typeset directly on top of each other. If that line is replaced with the commented line underneath it, the overlap goes away, but the table is much wider than it should be and runs off the edge of the page. In both cases, the problem can be removed either by removing the [aligncharacter=yes] or by replacing [width=broad] with [width=fit]. This is with the TeXLive15 version of context, 2015.05.18 12:26. I have also reproduced it with live.contextgarden.net, which I think is the same version. The problem did not occur with the TeXLive14 version, which was 2014.05.21 22:04. Ben

Hi all, Tomorrow afternoon (Sunday Nov 22) we will move all the ntg mailing lists to a new server. During that move, all ntg.nl email services will be interrupted for a few hours. I will do another post once the move is complete. Besides temporary unavailability, no noticeable changes are expected. Best wishes, Taco (on behalf of the ntg server maintenance team)

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][GFS Didot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext effective flew {\sc Small caps} \stoptext If I compile it with latest beta, everything is fine (as expected). But if I compile it with latest stable (2015.05.18 12:26), I only get a blank page. Could you compile the sample above with latest beta and confirm wheter you get a completely blank page? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

question about the \starteffect[hidden]
by Jeong Dal 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Dear all, I need to hide some part of the text while keep the space for them . I found a very nice command “ \starteffct[hidden]” It works well in most cases. But it couldn’t hide horizontal bars in math mode. Is there a way to hide horizontal bars also? Here is an sample code. Thank you. Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\StartHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\starteffect[hidden]}} \def\StopHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\stopeffect}} \enablemode[nodetails] \starttext Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StartHide Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StopHide But the horizontal bar in the fraction mode still appears. \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula Hiding mode \StartHide \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula \StopHide \stoptext

Arranging columns (rotated U-Shape). Do you know a way to do in ConTeXt (with or without column sets)?
by Leonard Siebeneicher 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

Dear readers. Using ConTeXt MkIV. I try to figure out how to use column sets such that one can place a column seperately beside other columns. I did not found a way. The setup for columnsets should look like a rotated U-shape %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-1| |cset-1| %% |cset-3| +------+ +------+ %% | | %% | | +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ +------+ Text should flow inside cset-1 columns automatically, without need to force column break by hand (like \column). I get something like %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-1| |cset-1| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% /Page 2 _________________\ %% +------+ %% | | %% |cset-3| %% | | %% | | %% | | %% +------+ Is it possible to do with columnsets? Are there other ways without columnsets? Thank you for reading. Regards, Leonard Siebeneicher _____ My ConTeXt-File looks like %% begin file %% vvvvvvvvvv \usemodule[visual] \definecolumnset[cset-1][n=3,balance=yes] \definecolumnset[cset-2][n=3,balance=yes] \definecolumnset[cset-3][n=3,balance=yes] %% ??? \starttext\showgrid \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][1][18] \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][2][18] \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][3][18] \startcolumnset[cset-1]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][1][20] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][2][20] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][3][20] \startcolumnset[cset-2]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset %% Now lets return to line 1 on page 1 to overlap columns \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][1][1] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][2][1] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][3][1] \startcolumnset[cset-3]\dorecurse{2}{\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset \stoptext %% Oops, a second page has been added

Issue with initial (new beta)
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear all, First of all, thanks for new beta. It fixes the initial feature (in previous beta there were not typeset at all). But while testing (a bit somewhat extreme example to push the limits) I came up with some initial letter hanging in the footer (page 3). Not sure the issue is linked with mixedcolumns but could not reproduce in plain vanilla environment. Also I noticed that if the paragraph is too short the initial overwrites the next paragraph(s) (to reproduce simply comment out the mixedcolumns). MWE: \starttext \startmixedcolumns[balance=yes] \dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext Admitedly this example has lots of lettrines. I added some \testcolumn to fix that, but now some columns are not balanced (page 3) \starttext \startmixedcolumns[balance=yes] \dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \testcolumn[4] \placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \testcolumn[6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext I was wondering if there were any settings to try more “aggressive” balancing (in the example here it might be difficult). or an alternative way to let the initial not hang into the footer that might be more “balanced” friendly. Many thanks for any hint, Best regards Joseph
