Dear All,
I am sorry to bring up tagging again. \startfiguretext ..
\stopfiguretext is causing trouble.
The MWE below passes VeraPDF with \dorecurse{3} but not \dorecurse{2}
\setupbackend[format=pdf/ua-2]
\setuptagging
[state=start,
preset=basic,
level=2,
option=interaction]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}
{
\startfiguretext
[right]
[]
{}
{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]
[width=.3\textwidth,
alternativetext={A Cow}]}
\input tufte
\stopfiguretext
}
\stoptext
And if you use only two \startfiguretext’s,
the next \startsection will cause VeraPDF to throw a fit, too.
Vera is ominous and useless as ever:

and in the second case with a section:

That’s just fyi, I can work around this.
If someone has experience with combining smallish figures and text in
ConTeXt that avoids \startfiguretext and has time to send a simple example,
I would be delighted to play with it.
line 1880 in strc-flt.mklx
\box\floatbox
% \dostoptagged % left-over
\blank[\rootfloatparameter\c!spaceafter]%
btw, there would be a message on the console wrt structure at the end of
your run in case there is something bad (could be a missing \stop... or
ommision in tabulate or ...)
wrt: > Vera is ominous and useless as ever:
indeed so that is why we wrapped it
mtxrun --script pdf --check foo.pdf
is what we use instead and it might be less annoying because we filter
some (and we can extend it with more features if needed)
there's also --structure which avoids the test
(anyway tagging can be turned off till the last moment so gain some
performance; i might add a mode some day, but so far i never tagged)
