new upload
by Hans Hagen 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

Hi, In todays upload there is a follow up on a new feature that is already present in the previous upload (but that was not yet advertised): context --parallel test1.tex test2.tex test3.tex context --parallel --pattern=test*.tex context --parallellist myfile.cmd (filters context processing lines) context --parallel test1.tex test2.tex test3.tex --terminal The --parellel feature will run in parallel, By default upto 8 jobs but you can specify less or more depending on your hardware but on my machine this is reasonable. See workflows-parrallel at the end for more info. That one also mentions the new --forceinput flag which makes that when these context foo-1.tex --mode=m-1 --forceinput=whatever.tex context foo-3.tex --mode=m-3 --forceinput=whatever.tex are run in parallel there is no clash in tuc/pdf. Of course not all scenarios might work out well. Commandline arguments given are passed on to the different jobs but it's good enough for the purpose I have in mind. fwiw: a single pass teststuite run (some 1950 files) goes down from 1350 to 700 seconds but another run with 1200 complex xml documents goes 4 times faster. In the end this is way cheaper than updating a 5 year old dev machine (a new one would run about twice as fast which would bring about the same gain). Hans ps. Because tex is a memory intense application it doesn't scale with the number of cores unless one has the latest greatest fast memory as well as generous cpu caches. There's only so much one can do in the code base about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

What are these warnings/errors?

mtxrun scripts
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

I tried some of the mtxrun scripts: * "colors" runs into an error: $ mtxrun --script colors --table ~/texmf/colors/icc/profiles/sgray.icc lua error : function call: ...-07/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-colors.lua:56: attempt to index a nil value (global 'colors') … or what is meant with "table"? * Is there a script that lists all files involved in a ConTeXt run? Preferably filterable by "part of the distribution" / images / sources? I’d like to check if all used files are checked in my git repository to be sure the project runs elsewhere. Hraban

problem with symbols in index
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

I hunted for two days after an index error in my book: """ structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> Sachregister tex error > tex error on line 95 in file ./prd_test.tex: The file ended when scanning an argument. {\startregisterentries {1}\startregisterentry {0}\registerentry {index}{}{21}{}{[[special cmd: lua call]]}\startregisterpages \registeronepage {index}{}{21}{2}{[[special cmd: lua call]]}\stopregisterpages \stopregisterentry \stopregisterentries \stopregistersection \stopregisteroutput \relax \stopmixedcolumns \else \strc_registers_place_indeed {index}\fi \endgroup \fi \stopchapter \par \par \par \par \par \stopproduct """ It boiled down to \index{\%} that used to work but doesn’t any more in current LMTX. Also, "context --purge" doesn’t delete the tuc file (don’t know if that changed), so the wrong entry stuck in there, and my code changes didn’t affect it. MWE: \starttext %\index{\%} \index[ ]{\backslash} \index[ ]{\percent} \index[ ]{\tex{}} \index[ ]{\tex{}\tex{}} \index[ ]{\tex{\%}} \page \completeindex \stoptext For my command index, \index[something]{\tex{something}} works, but is there a better way to put \\ in there than \index[ ]{\tex{}\tex{}} ?

Re: access image properties in Lua

If Hans didn’t add it recently, there‘s no automatical downsampling in ConTeXt (yet), that’s why I want to do this; the resolution parameter is apparently never used. Hraban

access image properties in Lua
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

What’s the current approved way to get image properties within a Lua function? very old: local pic = figures.getinfo(figures.current().status.fullname) used to work in 2019: local pic = img.scan{filename = figures.current().status.fullname} if I understand this right, "img" isn’t valid anymore: """ token call, execute: grph-imagelib.lua:37: attempt to index a nil value (global 'img') """ I’d like to know the pixel size and if possible also the scaled target size of an image; either the "current" one or by name.

\hidewidth disappeared
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jul '23

16 Jul '23

What happened to \hidewidth? It looks as if it disappeared. See the accompanying MWE. However, searching the ConTeXt source I find it used in enco-ini.mkiv, defined in syst-ini.mkiv, but commented out in syst-ini.mkxl. Why is that? It seems a harmless definition, and its body is even used twice in enco-ini.mkxl. I dare say, with all due respect, it is not pleasant (and a waste of time) to find working code suddenly broken because of leftout macro's. And I feel lucky to not having used \ialign, because something similar happened to it. yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

Text item groups
by Jairo A. del Rio 16 Jul '23

16 Jul '23

Hi, list! I want to know how to make numbers in text item groups run along with text (for instance, wrt indentation) regardless of their position in text. In the following example: \setupindenting[yes,medium] \starttext \startitemize[a,text][textdistance=none] \startitem \input{jojomayer}\stopitem \startitem \input{jojomayer}\stopitem \startitem \input{jojomayer}\stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Indentation is ignored altogether. Thank you in advance Regards, Jairo
