The need to run luatools --generate is not sufficiently visible (it is in README.MarkIV). Any package that requires user configuration steps should have a mechanism to inform the user that such steps are required. I suspect the damage was already done by the time the OP tried luatools --generate , and was perhaps made worse by running the command from a root prompt. In your case, running luatools --generate does not help, and that is the bug. You are right, but with a system like context it is sometimes better to avoid stressing the tools by following standard procedures. The OP ended up with /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex, which suggests that MkII and/or fmtutil tried to install formats under /etc/texmf/web2c. It may be too much to expect luatools to recover when things are not where they belong and files under $HOME are not owned by the user. Thanks George of confirming the bug. In my opinion, the context package has to be ready for running. No intervention of user should be needed.

Re: [NTG-context] current head title and current number
Thanks Wolfgang, that helped :-)
Only one additional question occured with that solution:
I am trying to use unnumbered chapters/sections and recognized that
\fullstructureheadnumber gives the number of the chapter/section before
instead of giving back and empty string:
\chapter{abc} \fullstructureheadnumber - 1
\chapter{abc} \fullstructureheadnumber - 2
\title{abc} \fullstructureheadnumber - 2 (instead of an empty string)
\chapter{abc} \fullstructureheadnumber - 3
(\placeheadnumber only returns (chapter and title) an empty string)
Is there a way to solve this?

No intervention of user should be needed. For the other hand, I have problems running luatools, so we have a bug: or the first or the second. Many packages require some user configuration before they can be used. Some hide this and do the configuration in the background the first time they are run, which assumes that the configuration is very robust (as you can see, luatools may not yet qualify as a robust tool). I do think the requirement to run luatools should be made more visible to users, e.g., by having the context wrapper script make some checks before attempting to run mtxrun, or by changing mtxrun itself (the advantage of making changes in the wrapper is that they can be more distro specific and point to /usr/share/doc/context/README.MarkIV). As for the 2nd part of the problem, we don't have enough information to know why luatools --generate isn't working for you. I'm not sure exactly what you have tried to get it working, but it would be helpful if you can do the following: 1. document the current status: run (as normal user) luatools --variables, then use the value of TEXMFCACHE for: ls -lR TEXMFCACHE (e.g., paste in the value shown for TEXMFCACHE) 2. check that the luatex caches have suitable permissions, or just delete them and try to recreate using a normal user login. -- George N.

[NTG-context] Summary of user wishes for streams
Hi, We have rather few suggestions and they are not coming anymore. So I am summarizing what we have so far. Since my typesetting vocabulary is meager I choose to present it graphically. Then again my apologies for poor graphics as I did not attempt it in metapost. Below is the collection of the posts and attached is a pdf of a drawing generated in inkscape. I can send the original svg if needed. Best regards, Salil__ Salil:Being able to flow multiple texts in parallel. A simple case is a translation of the same text running on opposite page while the original runs on left/right page. In my thesis these are not translations, but correlated texts written for different audiences. (think of levels in a CG game) So the texts need to be designed differently. To extrapolate this facility, if columns on one page can run such parallel texts then we can have multiple translations running together. Khaled:Old Arabic book, essentially all early Bulaq Press books used to typesettwo books in one, one is the main book running on the body of the page,while the other is a loosely related book running in the margins of thepage, the second book can be a commentary on the main book, but oftenthey just discuss the same subject with no direct correlation (not acritical edition). I'd like to be able to reproduce such layout. Taco:I would like to do something slightly more general: it would be nice ifcolumnset blocks could take their input from streams, even if the blockis not a full column (or multiple columns). Philipp:three items I'd like to add: * horizontal split page layout (upper and lower parts instead of columns), * asymmetric stream combinations (e.g. two streams on the left page, another stream on the facing page), and * easy reprinting (i.e. a photographic reproduction as one stream on the left and a text stream on the right page).I've seen all of this in printed books so it would be a pity to live ina world where the best typesetting system can't do that. Some of this Ialready mentioned to Hans a while ago, maybe he remembers. Kevin:I second the request to support horizontally split page layouts with one stream typeset above another on each page. Hans:it would help to see mockups for such requests Salil:I think this is good example of this function. http://books.google.com/books?id=qdltz8N9qSEClpg=PP1dq=the%20body%20multiplepg=PA4#v=onepageqf=false Philipp:I got a less complex example from the library, in contrast to Salil'sexample this one is a translation: http://bayimg.com/oaoPpaaChhttp://bayimg.com/PAOpAAaChhttp://bayimg.com/pAopbaAchhttp://bayimg.com/pAOpDAaCHhttp://bayimg.com/PaoPeAAch Shows clearly that the streams are synced at every section (and thattranslation to English is a good compression for German…). streams-user-wishes-round-one.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] graphics styles
Hi!
In tikz I can say
\draw[help lines] (0, 0) circle (1cm);
and setup what does help lines mean (color, linewidth etc.) in the
environment file with \tikzset{help lines/.style={...}}.
Is there any way to do something similar with ConTeXt+MetaPost? Should I add
drawoptions(\MPvar{another-style-name}) before each draw/fill command, and
drawoptions() after it?

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt meeting Lua tutorials

Hi all,
Today I started preparations for my activities at the ConTeXt meeting.
There are two small lua tutorials in the program, and I am looking
for input on both. There is one that is supposed to be a general
beginner's introduction, and one specifically about fonts.
For both, I am looking for input on what subjects I should cover?
Since both tutorials will end up as articles/wiki pages, it makes
sense to ask everybody on the list for input (but requests by actual
attendees will be scored considerably higher).
Some things that took a lot of trial and error for me to learn:
* Write a macro that passes its argument as a string to a lua function
* Write a macro that passes its argument as a function to a lua function
* Write a macro that passes a lua function to another lua function.
* Write a macro that passes an anonymous function to another lua function.
For example, I should be able to do:
\ToString{ABC with all sorts ' of [[ weird [=[ characters [==[ [===[
[[}
\ToTable{ ['A'] = B, ['B'] = A }
\ToFunction{ table.merge }
\ToFunction{ function (a, b) do return (a+b) end }
Slightly more advanced is how write a \setup command that can take these
as an argument and pass it to a luafunction. For example
\setupwhatever
[ string={ABC with all sorts ' of [[ weird [=[ charactes [===[
[[,
table={ ['A'] = B, ['B'] = A },
function = {table.merge},
anon={funcion (a,b) do return (a+b) end},
]
On hindsight, these are simple. But there is no documentaion on how
lua sees the TeX arguments, and you need to understand how \directlua
expands its arguments...something that can be very frustrating in the
beginning.

Currently, no.
Should I add
drawoptions(\MPvar{another-style-name}) before each draw/fill command, and

One option is to define two macros: definestyle (or perhaps newstyle,
which is more in line with metapost naming conventions) and withstyle so
that you can say
definestyle(helplines, withpen pencircle scaled 1bp withcolor 0.5white) ;
and then
draw fullcircle xyscaled 1cm withstyle helplines ;
It should be possible to do this in metapost, but if not (I am really bad
at metapost programming), then it is straightforward to do this in TeX
so that you write
\startMPcode
\defineMPstyle[helplines][withpen pencircle scaled 1bp withcolor 0.5white]
draw fullcircle xyscaled 1cm \withstyle{helplines} ;
\stopMPcode
but the first solution will be more cleaner.
