Hi Hans,

thank you for your quick answer! I am not sure How I can remake that
format. Can you tell me the command for that?

Hi Matthias,

as far as I can remember, the command is (I have used it in the past,
but my memory is weak):

context --make --all

Hi Pablo,

thank you for advice! Unfortunately I still get the error

ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:514: attempt to get length of local 'charlist' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

	...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:514: in function 'horizontalcode'

	...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:541: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:540>

	(...tail calls…)

I see two possible reasons for that:

Either the command „context --make --all“ is not the right one (besides: How can I check if ConTeXt has remade the format?), or the code is not correctly changed. Maybe you can answer that, Hans.

From line 506 on the code of math-act.lua now is

if kind == e_left then

local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants

if charlist then -- this is the line of the first error as the error code suggests

local left = charlist[1]

loffset = abs((left["start"] or 0) - (left["end"] or 0))

end

elseif kind == e_right then

local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants

if charlist then

local right = charlist[#charlist]

roffset = abs((right["start"] or 0) - (right["end"] or 0))

end

elseif kind == e_horizontal then

local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants

if charlist then

local left = charlist[1]

local right = charlist[#charlist]

loffset = abs((left ["start"] or 0) - (left ["end"] or 0))

roffset = abs((right["start"] or 0) - (right["end"] or 0))

end

return kind, loffset, roffset

Is that correct now?

In every case the error code mentioned another line of the same file:

math-act.lua:541: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:540>

	(...tail calls…)

And can you maybe patch that in the distribution, too? (Else I fear
that I have to remake that format every time I will update the
distribution from contextgarden.)
As far as I can tell, Hans will fix ConTeXt (he has done in the past).
But he has provided the patch, so that you may work until the next beta
update.

Okay, that is very good!

Cheers,

Pablo

Best
