Dear all, is it already possible to run LuaTeX (actually ConTeXt) in batchmode (or nonstopmode) via mtxrun? Best, Oliver

TEXMFHOME and the file database
by Oliver Buerschaper 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

Hi, I tried to set up a TEXMFHOME directory for on-the-fly additions to the TeX tree. I'm working with the 2008.05.27 beta of MKIV, i.e. there are no setuptex scripts, environment variables and the like, just texmf.cnf and texmfcnf.lua in texmf/web2c. I've modified the former according to: --- [...] %HOMETEXMF = /nonexist TEXMFHOME = $HOME/Library/texmf TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!! $TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} [...] --- Now LuaTeX only recognizes files put into $TEXMFHOME after the file database has been regenerated via bash# luatools --generate --verbose However, I would like LuaTeX to find these files without the need for rehashing just as if they were in the current working directory. What am I missing? Best wishes, Oliver

context program, mtxrun question?
by Norbert Preining 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hi everyone, aehmmm, looks nice, but # let us see how the context wrapper looks like: $ cat /usr/bin/context #!/bin/sh mtxrun --script context "$@" # now see what mtxrun does ... $ mtxrun --script context foobar MtxRun | unknown script: context $ Well not surprising ... there is NO context script anywhere in the distribution!

Setuptex removal
by Taco Hoekwater 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi, As of about five minutes ago, there is a new beta of context available from pragma-ade. In that, Hans has improved the non-setuptex initialization even more, and it is now close enough to kpathsea that nobody should notice the difference in practise. Here is how it goes: * You still need the 'tex binaries' directory in the PATH. * Based on that, MKIV now always initializes the virtual variables $SELFAUTOLOC, $SELFAUTODIR and $SELFAUTOPARENT * If $TEXMFCNF is not set, the following default is used: '{$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c}' This is a tiny little bit different from texlive, but should not make a difference in practise. (The addition of .local is especially for gwtex, and we dropped $SELFAUTOLOC from this path) * MKIV now also pre-initializes $TEXOS == $SELFAUTODIR and $TEXROOT == $SELFAUTOPARENT as an extra service (and to allow you to mask the weird SELF... variable names from plain view in texmf.cnf) As noted already, MKII does not need those env vars anyway. Best wishes, Taco

little "bug" in French hyphenation patterns conversion
by Mojca Miklavec 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hello Hans, there is a little bug in conversion of French hyphenation patterns in ctxtools. I guess that these two patterns 1c\oe0 % final zero essential to terminate cs \n{1c\oeOT} % for \oe in OT1 _and_ T1 font encoding should result in a single pattern 1nœ while it results in two weird patterns: 1nö0 1nöOT \oe is converted into ö instead of œ (are there any similar bugs as well?), 0 can probably be removed, \n{...} should probably be ignored and \oeOT should be ... well, it's inside of \n anyway, so it doesn't really matter what you do with it as long as you remove the pattern, but definitely it should not result in uppercase OT.

cont-en.xml and alike

Hi, how is cont-en.xml and the related files currently maintained? Is this file created of some other file or is it updated manually? What are the current applications that use the xml-files? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
