Buggy pdf viewer? Many thanks for your reply, Hans. Images are found, but not with "directory=default", but with "location=default". Evince doesn’t display the images or colors. Acrobat for Linux doesn’t display it either (this is why I thought it might be a bug). But MuPDF and SumtraPDF (based on MuPDF) display it fine. Sorry for the noise and many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\doassign variable - updates not picked up
by Werner Hennrich 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Hello everyone, I'm using ConTeXt (ver: 2020.09.20 23:02 LMTX) and have to have conditional page headers based on specific content criteria. To achive this I'd like to get some global variables in TeX, change their values several times throughout the document and have my macro for the header read them and act accordingly (like skip the header at all, change a color, etc). As a basis for this I established the following pattern in an iolated test case: \def\setHeaderVar[#1]{ \doassign[header][myvar=#1] \message{setHEADER: '#1'} } \def\getHeaderVar{\headermyvar} \setupheadertexts[\setups{page:header}] \startsetups page:header HEADER: myvar=\getHeaderVar \stopsetups \starttext \setHeaderVar[initval] page: 1 \page \setHeaderVar[aaaaa] page: 2 \page \setHeaderVar[bbbbb] page: 3 \page \setHeaderVar[cccc] page: 4 \page \setHeaderVar[] page: 5 \stoptext This works as expected and the header-macro prints the updated value. But when I put the same pattern in my big environment-file, I can see the variable being updated with different values (console), but the header always puts out just the variable's initial value - so the variable is read but it's updates aren't picked up by the header macro. Peeking into console, log & tuc didn't raise any idea yet as to what is going wrong... Any idea what is happening and how I can fix this? Any hints on how I can track this down? Thanks a lot, Werner Hennrich, Vienna AT

new lmtx / fonts
by Hans Hagen 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. I'm still playing a bit with metafonts so there are two new files context --global meta-imp-demo.mkxl context --global meta-imp-clock.mkxl Both show a bit. The question is, do we need / want more like this? What kind of interfaces are best? It's mostly about used defined symbols that are proper characters and efficiently used. Hans PS. The clock one has a hidden cut'n'paste feature that only works on acrobat which of course then makes it a kind of useless feature (plenty of them by now) because when, e.g. a mupdf bases viewer doesn't support this after all these years it's could as well be kept out of the standard. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Missing images in Wiki?
by Andres Conrado Montoya 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

It seems a lot of image examples from the wiki are gone now. Most articles lost many images. Is this on purpose? -- Andrés Conrado Montoya
