Hi, I uploaded a new version. It is a follow up on the ctx meeting of last week (in a country side compound in czech with also some remote attendants, daily infrared health scans, an excursion, talks, breaks, food, and the usual have fun with context friends moments). There are a few changes that can affect users numbered 1 and 2 below. (1) During one of the coffebreak discussions we agreed to drop the two units that were never official and are kind of meaningless: 'nc' (new cicero) and 'nd' (new didot). Arthur made some stroing arguments and only Tomas remembered ever entering one of them so there was no resistance. We also considered that in order to enforce the use of si units the 'in' should go away but that has been postponed (it is anyway last in the checked keywords so has no overhead). At some point the "true" prefix might go too (never really used, but no overhead either). (2) Another change is in the \startdocument mechanism. This (already old and rusted) wrapper runs on top of variables but we think no one knows (or uses) that. So, it now is a real wrapper with inheritance and such. It is dedicated to Tomas Hala who had to struggle with the old one but still gave a presentation using it. Here's an example: \definedocument[thesis] \setupdocument[a=b,e=f] \setupdocument[thesis][a=x,c=d] % \startsetups[thesis:start] \startsetups[document:start] START \stopsetups \startsetups[thesis:stop] % \startsetups[document:stop] STOP \stopsetups % \startdocument[thesis] \startthesis (\currentdocument/a): \documentvariable{a}\par (\currentdocument/c): \documentvariable{c}\par (\currentdocument/e): \documentvariable{e}\par \stopthesis % \stopdocument There's also a user mode set with the document enviroments name. (3) Some other additions are for Taco so will not be disclosed here (yet). (4) There are some summaries of my presentations added to the distribution (the wiki will collect more at some point). 1 context-2020-mkii-mkiv-mkxl.pdf 2 context-2020-luametatex.pdf 3 context-2020-concepts.pdf 4 context-2020-tokens.pdf 5 context-2020-implementers.pdf 6 context-2020-datatypes.pdf 7 context-2020-ecmascript.pdf 8 context-2020-svg.pdf 9 context-2020-mp.pdf They use the new 'boring' presentation style and most are probably useless without demos and discussion but anyway ... The first one is an overview of the three successive context versions. The second one is about the state of luametatex and the third discusses a couple of things introduced last year (luametatex and lmtx). The tokens talk is for low level tex lovers (or those who need to impress other texies with token speak), and the talk about implementers was probably only useful for wolfgang and me, but who knows. The datatypes are an overview over what is standard in tex and in lua as well as what we have extra on top of that. The seventh talk fits in the 'we also need to have some fun talks', and the eigths one was for a large part a discussion and accompanied by a demo by Hraban. The last one is (of course) also a fun one and (of course) discusses Don Knuths latest font which (of course) is kind of special Anyway, it's all part of the 'we keep going' story, which is why they are in the distribution. (5) We had several talks / discussions about the greatly improved wiki and users are invited to participate in completing the pages that need to be filled in, but I leave that to Taco to summarize.
