[NTG-context] upcoming versions of lmtx
Hi, With luametatex becoming more mature, it's time to get rid of some old code. For instance, we have lmt files that assume 5.4, but regular lua files should work for luajittex (5.2) and luatex (5.3). Most noticable are the lack of bitwise operators and integer devision in luajittex, but there are more details. Till now, part of this problem is deals with by using functions that can actually be seen as macros that can are optimized when the format is made (kind of c-ish). It's not pretty, but works and probably no one ever noticed it. That mechanism will probably stay (for the fun of it) but the less it's used for creating the format the better. Another complication is that we use mtxrun for both running luatex and luametatex so there we need to be friendly to all three engines. But ... eventually luametatex will be the stub for also luatex and then mtxrun can become 5.4+ (the --luatex flag already works that way). An alternative is that we have mtxrun.lmt as well as mtxrun.lua but why bother. I also need to keep in mind that there are users of the font code that expect it to work with luajittex but that can be dealt with by splitting files. By splitting modules in lua and lmt variants we can tune for luametatex so that will happen anyway (less code, no engine specific sections, again a smaller format file, etc). All these adaptations have no functional consequences but of course there can be temporary hickups because of some oversight. At the engine level there is also some occasional cleanup, like replacing some left-over low level 5.2/5.3 lua api things by 5.4 but that's kind of ongoing (as lua progresses). In principle users should not notice such changes, just like probably no one noticed that we now use a different zip library (in the beginning some high speed variants were tested too but it's not that critical and I just don't want architecture dependencies that complicate a build and can influence stability). I still try to minimize the code base and dependencies, although I admit that sometimes stuff gets added (like the more efficient memory allocator). But my target max binary size of 3MB (less with link time optimization and related stripping) and fast compilation goals are still met.

\setuphead[chapter][align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]
Would that mean there's no way to collapse the hyphenation throughout
the entire document from a single location? That is:
\nohyphencollapsing
\setuphead[section][align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]
\setuphead[subsection][align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]
\setuphead[subsubsection][align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]
Would "\nohyphencollapsing[head=yes]" allow the setting to apply once to
all areas?
\setuphead[align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]
At some point I'll add some language related settings but first I'll
need to think of the best way.

Re: [NTG-context] very long hanging caption

Hello again,

Ok, after a week of struggling with this you deserve an answer:
\starttext
\starthanging
{\framed[align=normal,bottom=\vkern10pt]{\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][width=3cm]}}
\placefloatcaption[figure][title={\input ward \input ward }]
\stophanging
\stoptext
Thanks,

Dear list,

text of

much longer
than the height of the image

The second question is how to change the distance between image and
the caption, distance parameter has no effect. MkIV, because
footnotes in columns are needed (not in lmtx, yet).
% macros=mkiv
\setupcaption[
number=no,
hang=yes,
align={nothyphenated,flushleft},
distance=4mm,
location=righthanging]
\startbuffer[caption]
\dorecurse{60}{very long caption }

\startplacefigure[title={\getbuffer[caption]}]
\externalfigure[cow][height=40mm,width=80mm]

Not sure if this is a regression:
% SOF
\nohyphencollapsing
\setuphead[chapter][align={nothyphenated}]
\starttext
\chapter{Such --- Emdashery}
\stoptext

Expected: No collapsed hyphens.
Actual: Hyphens are collapsed.
Workaround: Remove the nothyphenated option or insert
\nohyphencollapsing into the \chapter command.
Is there another way to prevent collapsing hyphens with a single setting
that applies to the entire document?
The hyphens did not collapse in the previous version.
they did when a font had the tlig feature enabled
i'll add a key:
\setuphead[chapter][align={nothyphenated,notcollapsed}]

Re: [NTG-context] Bug with OpenBSD 6.9 amd64?
Hi Hans, I tried to download once more, and it succeded. I just wasn't lucky yesterday and installed at a time when server wasn't responding. I compiled a test file, everything went smooth.

Hi Hans, I should have looked earlier at the files. Looks like I couldn't download the proper files. Here is the content of mtxrun.lua: 404 Not Found Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. I will try to download once more, but looks like some links are missing.

Anyway, for Hans and Mojca: I confirm that I was not able to run ConTeXt from the texlive package (TeX Live 2020) of Alpine Linux 3.12 (x86_64). I get the error in my original post to this thread, which I could not solve with the suggested fixes. If other can reproduce it, maybe it's worth reporting upstream to Alpine developers. I can install ConTeXt LMTX just fine in Alpine x86_64, however!
