Hi,
I'm new to ConTeXt and try to use the module typearea
(https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=find/name=typear...).
But the example doesn't work:
\usemodule[typearea]
\setupTypeArea[bcor=0mm,alphabets=3.1]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\dorecurse4{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{test}\page}
\stoptext
I got:
texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex'
loading > Something like KOMA-TypeArea
tex error > tex error on line 89 in file
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex:
Missing number, treated as zero
<to be read again>
{
<macro> \TA@alphabets
\par \PageWidth =\dimexpr \paperwidth -\TA@bcor \relax \par \edef
\Ratio {\withoutpt {
\the \dimexpr 2\paperheight /(\PageWidth /32768)\relax }} \par
\setbox \scratchbox \hbox {\dorecurse {26}{\character \recurselevel }}
\Width =\dimexpr \TA@alphabet
Oh, I found something about in the archive! Am 29.10.23 um 11:37 schrieb Thomas Meyer:

(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
Line 89 in the module should be the problem. But how can I solve it? I think some lines in the module should be commented out. (An example directly in the module?)
I thank you for any hint.
Greetings Thomas

The module is from 2008, i.e. MkII. You can’t expect it to work with MkIV/LMTX. Just define your layout yourself. Hraban

You can use the \averagecharwidth length to set the text width to a certain number of characters per line but for now only only a few languages are supported. \mainlanguage[en] \setuplayout [width=60\averagecharwidth] \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \stoptext Wolfgang

Perhaps one option can be to ask module authors to rename mkii only modules to t-*.mkii, so that they are not loaded in mkiv/lmtx. Aditya

As a module admin I could and would do that for this old stuff, there are more fixes that I’d like to apply, but we’re still waiting for a replacement for the Lioness server, if I’m not wrong. Hraban

Hi, first of all, sorry for my late response. Many thanks to everyone who commented on my problem. With the change from the archive the module runs, also under LMTX. But: what does alphabets=3.1 or alphabets=2.6 mean? I see what is happening, but where can I get explanations about this and other terms? Thanks in advance!
