Re: [NTG-context] lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
Hi all, I've pushed lwc v2.1.0 to CTAN and the Garden Modules site. This new version fully supports the ConTeXt grid snapping (MkIV/MkXL), and it also adds some improved logging. You can download this directly at https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/lua-widow-control-v2.1.0.zip I believe that this resolves all of the issues in this thread, but as always, feel free to let me know if something doesn't work.

Re: [NTG-context] lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
Now, I don't have any widows in my document, and I only count 2 broken hyphens. However, I think this is at the expense of the shenanigans the module has "perpetrated" elsewhere, because, apart from the crazy horizontal spacing of some paragraph in the bibliography, the module lies to me in the log. Yes, the log output fools me. There is no "Widow/Orphan NOT removed". But this is not true: To the 2 broken hyphens must be added 4 orphan lines that the log claims to have resolved. But what worries me the most is that it counts as successful one occasion with an empty line, another occasion with two empty lines in a row, and 4 occasions with no less than 7 empty lines in a row at the beginning of a chapter. I don't know if this information can provide any more clues to adjust the module for the grid mode, but I hope it helps. Greetings, Edu.

Re: [NTG-context] lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
Quick question before I begin: are you using any especially "interesting" ConTeXt features? By "interesting" I mean things like grid typesetting, pagecolumns, bidirectional text, etc. I haven't tested lwc with every possible ConTeXt feature, so there may be some adverse interaction. If you are using something like this, try disabling it and see if that solves anything (then let me know so that I can fix it!)

No line such as "Widow/orphan detected. Attempting to delete". I see interleaved new groups with the same line always repeating a warning message throughout the whole file. In short, there are 613 new lines with the message "luatex warning > tex: left parfill skip is gone". But I didn't give it any importance, because I interpreted that they could be inherent to the module. Well this at least narrows the issue down quite a bit. Lwc runs in pretty much two stages: when a paragraph has finished being broken by TeX, lwc saves the paragraph. The second stage is ran just before each time the output routine is triggered so that lwc can remove the widows and orphans. Due to an lwc bug, the first stage results in the "left parfill skip" warning being printed twice for each paragraph. Normally this is quite annoying, but here it is good -- we know for sure that the first stage is running just fine. It is the second stage where you should get the "Widow/orphan detected" message, but this isn't happening. The code here is at lwc.lua:362-388. Here is a list of all possible reasons, in order of likelihood, why "Widow/orphan detected" wouldn't be printed when there is actually a widow or orphan: (Just listing all of these to make sure that *I* don't forget anything. I'd say that 1 and 2 are the only ones that are actually likely -- you can probably ignore all of the others) 1. "\clubpenalty" and/or "\widowpenalty" are either zero or infinite In these cases, lwc can't distinguish a widow or orphan from other penalties, so it doesn't do anything. You can check for this with \showthe\widowpenalty \showthe\clubpenalty some time after "\starttext". This will print the values to the log file. The values should probably be "1", but things like "150" and "5000" are fine too. If you see negative values, "0", or values greater than ten thousand, then something is wrong here. 2. Something is "hiding" the widow/orphan penalties from lwc. Something like "\vadjust{\penalty X}" or the e-TeX "\-penalties" commands could potentially do this. One potential solution for (a subset of) this problem would be to modify lwc.mkxl to insert "\directsetup{*reset}" at line 52, to get: \startsetups[*default] \directsetup{*reset} \clubpenalty=\lwcparameter{orphanpenalty} \widowpenalty=\lwcparameter{widowpenalty} \displaywidowpenalty=\lwcparameter{widowpenalty} \brokenpenalty=\lwcparameter{brokenpenalty} \stopsetups If that doesn't do anything, keep the above modifications but also insert \setups[*default] after "\starttext" in your test document. 3. Lwc hasn't saved any paragraphs since the last output routine. Since we know that the first stage is running, this shouldn't be possible unless there is a weird bug somewhere else. 4. A weird engine/format bug. The LMTX test file was successful on Debian x86_64 three days ago https://github.com/gucci-on-fleek/lua-widow-control/runs/6144354147?check_suite_focus=true so something quite weird would have to be going on here. 5. Something is overwriting the "pre_output_filter" callback. Now this is an interesting one. ConTeXt has frozen most of the core engine callbacks, but "pre_output_filter" is unfrozen and unassigned. There is a ConTeXt interface for most of the other callbacks, but here I need to fallback to the low-level interface. With this interface, you can only register a single callback, so it is possible that some other package is overwriting the callback. To test this, the very beginning of your document should look like: \usemodule[lua-widow-control] \startluacode lwc.callbacks.disable_box_warnings.enable = function () end

This probably means that ConTeXt can't find the file, there should hopefully be clues somewhere in the log file. Thanks again for your work and yours observations.

Re: [NTG-context] lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
Hi, Max: First things first. I want to acknowledge and thank you for the tough mission that surely involves maintaining this module for the benefit of the TeX community and, most especially, for LMTX in particular, due to the very reasons you have just explained. Regarding your remarks, you are right in your assumptions: I didn't have the required lua file installed in its corresponding folder. That's what I was missing, and, logically, what made my compilation crash. To make my confusion even worse, I had done a strict search inside the mkxl code. It wouldn't take me to line 63 because I had added the extension (lua-widow-control.lua, not just lua-widow-control). Anyway, a mess only due to my ignorance. Now I finally get the pdf. But unfortunately, this "new" pdf is the same with the module uncommented as when I had it commented. There is no difference at all. And you're right: even context --make doesn't solve the problem. To give you an idea, although my dummy document has 78 pages, only 55 can really be said to be dummy text that can benefit from the module. Well, only in those 55 pages I have 2 orphans, 5 widows and 6 broken hyphens. I have read several times all the options of the module in the /lua-widow-control.pdf/ document, but I don't even dare to mess with those options because it seems to me very radical that my output pdf is the same with the module uncommented in my code. Of course, mtxrun --find-file lua-widow-control.lua yields what you would expect: /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/luatex/lua-widow-control/lua-widow-control.lua Thanks again for your work and yours observations.

The entire lwc manual is written in ConTeXt/LMTX so I (usually) notice pretty quickly when things break. The only real "issue" with LMTX is that the engine changes pretty quickly, so lwc may sometimes be broken for a few days between an engine update and whenever I push out a fix. This doesn't happen with Plain/LaTeX since the LuaTeX engine is mostly frozen.

Hmm, that's odd then. I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, so I'm going to take a random guess: Maybe you installed lwc using a zipfile from either GitHub or the ConTeXt Garden modules site, then you copied the files into your texmf-modules/ folder, *but* you only copied the "tex/context/" folder and not all of the folders in the "tex" folder. The "lua-widow-control.lua" file is in the "tex/luatex/" folder, so if you didn't also copy that across you're going to have problems. Again, just a random guess. If that doesn't work, you could maybe try running context --make but I doubt that that would fix anything here. You could also try deleting the filename cache files

You could also try deleting the filename cache files at: {CONTEXT}/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/*/trees/*.lu? then rerunning mtxrun --generate I've never deleted those files before, but it's in a folder called "cache" so it's _probably_ safe to delete (make a backup just in case though). If none of that works, then the issue could be something else on your end, or I could have screwed something up in lwc. In that case, try running find /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/ -path '*widow*' -print and mtxrun --find-file lua-widow-control.lua and reply with the output. Oh, and one more note. ConTeXt version "2022-04-11 19:20" renamed some of the engine Lua functions, so make sure to update to lwc v2.0.6 (if you're using a recent ConTeXt version). Otherwise after you fix the "unknown file" error, you would get an "attempt to call a nil value" error which isn't any better. Let me know if you have any other issues. -- Max ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
