Re: [NTG-context] how to setup path of ConTeXtLMTX for MacVim?
by Jeong Dal 14 Dec '21

Dear John, Nicola, I created a file context.vim under the folder ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ which contains map <C-h>><Esc> :w<CR>:!ConTeXt<CR> let g:context_mtxrun = 'PATH=$HOME/ConTeXtLM/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun' let g:tex_flavor = "context" The result is 1. using “:ConTeXt” issued an error message: “E492: not an editor command: ConTeXt 2. using “make” issued an error message: "No targets specified and no makefile found. …" Pressing C-h, compiling started and succesfully ended. However, it use /usr/local/texlive/… not LMTX tex folder. Without context.vim, “:ConTeXt" and “:make" worked fine. I’ll do more test. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

TeXWorks and synctex
by Bruce Horrocks 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

I'm having trouble getting the new synctex to work on a Mac. I've completely re-installed MacTeX and TeXWorks and synctex works fine for LaTeX documents. But for ConTeXt no combination of magic lines etc will work for me. The symptoms are... nothing - no errors but no synching, either way. Q1: is there a log file created somewhere or a debugging flag that can be turned on which will tell me what is happening when I try to jump from PDF to editor or vice versa? Q2: Is this the same error as reported at the bottom of https://wiki.contextgarden.net/SyncTeX ? Or has that been fixed? PS: \enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize] works as expected - i.e. the .synctex file seems to be correct. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Typo in m-tikz
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Hi, There is a typo in m-tikz.mkxl (possibly a carry-over from t-tikz.tex). The module ends with a spurious `\stopmodule`: https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/fe714093ebb95e4a870282… (Or rather, the corresponding `\startmodule` is missing). This causes an interesting error message on the following test file: \usemodule[tikz] \usetypescriptfile[euler] \definetypeface[mainfont][rm][serif][pagella][default] \definetypeface[mainfont][mm][math] [pagellaovereuler][default] \definetypeface[mainfont][tt][mono] [dejavu][default] [rscale=0.8, features=none] \setupbodyfont[mainfont,11pt] \starttext $\dfrac{1}{2}$ \stoptext which gives: system > module wrapping error in 'tikz' close source > level 2, order 67, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkxl/m-tikz.mkxl' open source > level 2, order 68, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-euler.mkiv' open source > level 3, order 69, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 3, order 69, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' open source > level 3, order 70, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-dejavu.mkiv' close source > level 3, order 70, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-dejavu.mkiv' suggestion > use \withcedilla instead of \c suggestion > use \withcaron instead of \v close source > level 2, order 70, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-euler.mkiv' open source > level 2, order 71, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' close source > level 2, order 71, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv' fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'pagellaovereuler' open source > level 2, order 72, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-dejavu.mkiv' close source > level 2, order 72, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-dejavu.mkiv' fonts > defining > font with asked name 'unknown' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-rm-tf-0--0' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mr--3' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mr--2' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mr--1' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mb--3' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mb--2' fonts > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainfont-11pt-mm-mb--1' tex error > tex error on line 10 in file ./test.tex: Math error: parameter 'fractionrule' in style 2 is not set <line 3.10> $\dfrac{1}{2}$ And since tikz is a latex module, in the true LaTeX spirit, the error goes away (for obvious reasons) if I move the \usemodule[tikz] to after the font definitions. It took quite a while to figure out what is happening. Aditya

Nested $$ in inline math
by Jack Hill 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear list, I was playing around and found that nesting $$s inside of \m blocks typesets the code as text. I can't find anything about this on the wiki or in the math-mkiv manual, so I'm asking whether this is supported behaviour or just a bug?

Location for require(...) files
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Hi, I am not trying to install tikz related modules from ctan rather than copying them from the minimals. I notice that the latest version of pgfplot now gives an error: token call, execute: ...etatex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/l-sandbox.lua:180: module 'prepcontour' not found: no field package.preload['prepcontour'] no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.4/prepcontour.lua' no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.4/prepcontour/init.lua' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/prepcontour.lua' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/prepcontour/init.lua' no file './prepcontour.lua' no file './prepcontour/init.lua' pgfplots has a line which is essentially equal to \directlua{require(prepcontour);} https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgfplots/blob/da2acbe847db88d1b916b324562161a1c… It also ships with a prepcontour.lua file: $mtxrun prepcontour.lua /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgfplots/lua/prepcontour.lua However, it is not found by the require(...) file. The value of my LUAINPUTS variable is: mtxrun --expand-var LUAINPUTS .;.;{home:texmf,!!selfautoparent:texmf-project,!!selfautoparent:texmf-fonts,!!selfautoparent:texmf-local,!!selfautoparent:texmf-modules,!!selfautoparent:texmf-context,!!selfautoparent:texmf-linux-64,!!selfautoparent:texmf}/tex/{context,plain/base,generic}//;{home:texmf,!!selfautoparent:texmf-project,!!selfautoparent:texmf-fonts,!!selfautoparent:texmf-local,!!selfautoparent:texmf-modules,!!selfautoparent:texmf-context,!!selfautoparent:texmf-linux-64,!!selfautoparent:texmf}/scripts/context/lua// So, the above file should have been found, but it isn't. How can I fix this. FWIW, here is a minimal example: \directlua{require("prepcontour");} Thanks, Aditya

how to setup path of ConTeXtLMTX for MacVim?
by Jeong Dal 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Hi, Recently, I have a problem to use vscode, so I tried MacVim for ConTeXt. It worked fine. But it uses context in TeXLive instead of using it in ConTeXtLMTX. I’d like to use LMTX which is installed in ~/ConTeXtLM/tex/... How to redirect the path for ConTeXt in MacVim? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

upload ... new feature
by Hans Hagen 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Hi, This time the lmtx upload has a (for some maybe) interesting new features: runtime pdf encryption. context --ownerpassword=foo [--userpassword=bar] [--permissions="see context --help --expert"] One can also use the document banner line, like: % ownerpassword="foo" userpassword="" permissions="print,extract,quality" Now, this is a feature that relies on the viewer to deal properly with it as we only support the not depricated method (why bother with the old stuff). acrobat : it took some effort (and trial and error) to make that one happy but it seems to work ok summatra : the one i use, it works ok in the latest greatest (i use 3.3.13418) mutool : okay but sometimes with a warning (i have a workearound but not enabled it because i consider it to be a bug) qpdf : happy but check gives a permissions warning (understandable as that is a real mess) firefox : opens ok in the latest version (pdf.js) chrome : can't handle the revision level we use (the rest is depricated so i consider it a lack of feature for now) edge : idem okular : my (windows) version is too old xpdf : not up to it yet foxit : (i never use it, but tried ... it's code seems to be what is used in chrome) doesn't work with this revision I would be surprised if the native apple viewer works but I can't test that. Given earlier pdf threads, I wanna check with Michal Vlasák what can be improved. Performance is okay, the luametatex manual takes 1% more runtime and that's within the runtime measurement margin that I use. I didn't test with external images yet but will do that so don't expection yet. It will probably take a few months to reach a stable state anyway. (But ... afaiks tikz pdf generation, which is also somewhat alien to context, seems to work). Hopefully I didn't mess up the unrelated code, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

inserts and columns
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

I stumbled upon a curious problem: """ \starttext Some text\footnote{with a footnote} \startcolumns \samplefile{knuth} \samplefile{knuth} \stopcolumns \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext """ The footnote is typeset after the columns, not at the bottom of the page, and collides with text before and after.
