typing with scite module and escape
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Feb '24

24 Feb '24

Hi, I’m trying to use escaping in a typing environment. It works until I load the scite module. I need that only for btx highlighting, but I can’t limit it to that. What should I do? \usemodule[scite] \define[1]\SAY{\hfill{\rm #1}} \setuptyping[TEX][ option=tex,% scite sets cld escape=yes, ] \starttext \startTEX \starttext/BTEX\SAY{Text starts here}/ETEX \input tufte \stoptext/BTEX\SAY{Text ends here}/ETEX \stopTEX \stoptext

new context option
by Hans Hagen 24 Feb '24

24 Feb '24

Hi, As I needed to check some commands i added this: context --find="%\starttabulate" which will (should) give a list of lines/files in the documentation where this command is used.

MetaPost lines in tables?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

I guess I asked this a while ago, but I can’t find an answer: Is it possible to replace the lines of a TABLE with my own MetaPost graphics? ATM I’m trying to place my MP lines behind a frame-less TABLE; it will probably work, but it’s a crutch… Hraban

using an end of line as parameter
by Miguel Diaz 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Dear list, I want to format some language tests that different people are preparing. Each one uses different software and there are always problems in format that i want to solve. for a a/b/c questions I receive text that I will format to a list (comments are mine) In den Büchereien gibt es auch … %the question … Kuchen. %option a … Theater. %option b … Workshops. %option c I need to detect \par or whatever sign marks the newline character as an argument delimiter so that I dont have to paste hundreds of times braces for each argument. For the example, I use this macro definition (which does no work!) \long\def\prueba #1\par#2\par#3\par#4ñ{\framed[frame=off,width=0.8\textwidth,corner=round,offset=1em,align=flushleft]% {{\bf Beispiel}: #1\\ \qquad a) #2\\ \qquad b) {\bf #3}\\ \qquad c) #4 } I get: tex error on line 493 in file ./prueba.tex: The file ended when scanning an argument. the macro seems to read to the end of file not detecting \par; I know its the \par that causes the problem; I used ^^M also which I read is a sinonym for return but it also does not work. Help would be appreciated (my computer keyboard would appreciate it too...)

LuaTeX 1.18.0
by luigi scarso 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

The upcoming version 1.18.0 has some changes that are not compatible with previous versions but should only apply in kpse mode: 1) the debug library is disabled; can be enabled with --luadebug 2) os.rename os.remove and lfs library functions are checked from kpse to see if the path is legal I'm sure some packages that use debug won't work without --luadebug at least. LuaLaTeX should be ok, and also ConTeXt mkiv should be ok. -- luigi
