Dear List, After Compiling in the Folder: This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.10.11 initex (C:/Users/Hermann/Downloads/context-mswin/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont- en.mkxl(context.mkxl(syst-ini.mkxl ! Undefined control sequence. <line 3.238> \immutable\defcsname\tocharacter \tabasciicode \endcsname {\ } % \def\^^I{\ } tab ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> I wanted also do a new installation of ConTeXt LMTX, but if I want to do it, the is a report, that the page cannot be found. Many thanks Uschi

Not an official one, I am not able to run -current, but something that helps when I need to upgrade quickly OpenBSD and context. Best regards, Damien Thiriet

Named characters
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Hi all, not a complaint, just a question (for Hans and Wolfgang, I guess): in recent versions of lmtx, Greek named characters (constructs such as \greekdasiatonos) don't work any more. Which means I have to adapt some of my older macros. Is this an oversight or did they get axed? All best Thomas

OpenBSD install failed
by damien＠thiriet.web4me.fr 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Hello, I tried to install OpenBSD 7.4 binaries but failed. What I did: download the zip from pragma unpack it in /usr/local/context chmod 744 install.sh ./install.sh After running it, there is no file in /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-openbsd7.4-amd64/ I searched the mailing list archive and after reading that post from Mojca https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92131.html I took a look at mtxrun.lua Don't know if this is the issue, but here is grep bsd /usr/local/context/bin/mtxrun.lua output: elseif name=="freebsd" then bits,platform=64,"freebsd-amd64" bits,platform=32,"freebsd" elseif name=="kfreebsd" then bits,platform=64,"kfreebsd-amd64" bits,platform=32,"kfreebsd-i386" Best regards, Damien Thiriet

cont-new.mkiv and \everymathematics
by Rogers, Michael K 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

Hi all, In writing class notes, I frequently make one-letter macros for formatted symbols, such \v and \w for vectors. Generally speaking, one-letter names for function/macros/variables is frowned upon in programming, but I find this localized use very convenient. In cont-new.mkiv, one finds definitions of \t and \w (via \let) appended to \everymathematics, which overwrites my definition of \w every time TeX enters math mode. I can fix this by appending my definition to \everymathematics. The inefficiency seems minor, and I can live with it. I have a question and a couple of points: 1. Is there a better way than adding the definition to \everymathematics? 2. I don’t think these definitions should be in ConTeXt. Let users add them if they wish. Or add a ‘useshortcuts’ option to \setupmathematics. 3. \t and \w are undocumented, \mathword is undocumented, and it took me a while to track down the bug it created for me. In particular, they overwrote my definition only in math mode, and “\show\w” did not work in math mode. Frustrating. I could add a wikipage, I suppose, but I’m not proud of the extent of my knowledge: “\mathword{word} typesets “word” in math mode in a normal text font, somewhat like \text{word}, and \w is an abbreviation of it that is added to \everymathematics on startup.” Thank you very much, Michael
