Was just about to write; I had found that too about two weeks ago. I don't know if it's incorrect syntax, but it had been working for many years, before you started rewriting TeX from scratch :-)

well, it's hard to imagine how users use commands i fixed it anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

sorry , too fast

~ is \nobreakspace \unexpanded\def~{\nobreakspace}

and you define \def\nobreakspace{~}

i.e. an infinte loop, I suppose.

hmm ... this line "\def\nobreakspace{~}" is part of my environment file for more than 7 years now! (can't remember if it was necessary back then ... ;o) Steffen

I have a \def\nobreakspace {\penalty\plustenthousand\kern\interwordspace} into spac-gen.mkii (nov 5 2009 ...) (and \def~{\normalpenalty\!!tenthousand\ } so your redefining is not a problem) -- luigi

indeed, and it's a bonus that ~ == nobreakspace (although I can imagine that we'd get rid of it) but defining other macros in terms of active characters is a bad idea (in fact one can use the unicode nbsp character) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I have always liked this TeX active character (~).

As information for users of X11: setxkbmap -option nbsp:level2 (and the equivalent in "xorg.conf" or "etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-init.fdi") gives nbsp as shift+space.

On the subject of unicode characters, I just discovered the ":dig" command (diagraphs) under my favorite editor "vim"!

Follow-up: :se list lcs=nbsp:~ makes me feel right at home with my traditional TeX usage... Alan

my favourite editor shows a nice orange blob when it sees a non breakable space

In vim, one can add this to his ~/.vimrc: highlight NobreakSpace ctermbg=yellow match NobreakSpace / / (the space in / / is nbsp) Regards, Khaled

if you use that kind of low level hacks you should not harm your workflow by updating all low level macros get renamed into their own namespace and are not supposed to be touched (unless of course one keeps also track of low level changes) better is to extend the core code with options Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

That's new... "\setfalse\raggedonelinerstate" wasn't needed with 2011.11.29, at least. Why is it necessary now?

You don’t need it and you shouldn’t put it in your document. The problem is the setting \setupalign[line] which breaks \externalfigure but when the conditional \raggedonelinestate is false (can be also achieved when you set a value for the align key in \externalfigure) it works. Wolfgang

Hi,

testing the current beta gave me several errors and "Undefined control sequence",

for example \showframe (must not be used before \starttext anymore?}

It's a matter of font still not defined at that point: just pickup a body font \setupbodyfont[lmroman] \showframe \starttext \input knuth\par \stoptext

I made showframe work before \starttext but in general Luigi's advice has to be followed: if you do anything with fonts before \starttext then you need to load a bodyfont.
