Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides gives 'input stack overflow'
Hi,
Looks like it is a problem with "StartPage" and "StopPage" in metapost.
I get the same error with any MP graphic using those commands.
More minimal example (without simpleslides) as per the wiki:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cover_Pages
colors > 'rgb' color space is supported
colors > 'cmyk' color space is supported
fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage)
fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded
metapost> initializing instance 'metafun:1' using format 'metafun'
and method 'default'
metapost> loading 'metafun' as
'/usr/share/texmf/metapost/context/base/mpiv/metafun.mpiv' using method
'default'
metapost> initializing number mode 'scaled'
input stack overflow
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256
Commenting out "StartPage" and "StopPage" compiles.
mtx-context | current version: 2021.05.09 17:14
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.14.0
Development id: 7438

Does that mean the simpleslides module has some recursion problems?
I have tried a couple of themes but getting the same error.

[NTG-context] Update setpath to set the path
Thoughts on updating the setpath.bat file to persist setting the path? Here's an updated version that sets the system environment variable while preserving the existing unexpanded PATH value: rem SOF echo off set OWNPATH=%~dp0 set PLATFORM=mswin if defined ProgramFiles(x86)set PLATFORM=win64 if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="AMD64" set PLATFORM=win64 if exist "%OWNPATH%tex\texmf-mswin\bin\context.exe" set PLATFORM=mswin if exist "%OWNPATH%tex\texmf-win64\bin\context.exe" set PLATFORM=win64 echo %PATH% | findstr "texmf-%PLATFORM%" > nul rem Only update the PATH if not previously updated if ERRORLEVEL 1 ( set Key="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" set "CurrPath=" for /F "USEBACKQ tokens=2*" %%A in (`reg query %%Key%% /v PATH`) do ( if not "%%~B" == "" ( rem Preserve the existing PATH echo %%B > currpath.txt rem Update the current session set PATH=%PATH%;%OWNPATH%tex\texmf-%PLATFORM%\bin rem Change the PATH environment variable setx PATH "%%B;%OWNPATH%tex\texmf-%PLATFORM%\bin" /M ) ) ) rem EOF Another possibility would be to define CONTEXT_HOME as an unexpanded value added to both the system environment variables and the PATH variable. For example (haven't tried it): setx CONTEXT_HOME "%OWNPATH%tex\texmf-%PLATFORM%\bin" setx PATH "%%B;%%CONTEXT_HOME%%" The advantage with this pattern is that subsequent updates need only check for CONTEXT_HOME and change its value without having to worry about PATH parsing, which can be hairy. Yet another option to consider is changing the value for only the existing user, rather than system-wide. Perhaps two different batch files? The reason for this change is because the Windows installation instructions (on the wiki) are incomplete: technically, the user must run setpath.bat for each new session. This implies that any third-party program that wants to make use of ConTeXt on Windows would have to communicate said fact to the user, or let the user set the full path to ConTeXt within the third-party program. Both of these can be avoided by persisting the PATH setting across sessions. Thank you! P.S.

[NTG-context] one quick remark about textext.dflt (vs textext.dlft)
Hi all, one remark, I was expecting to be allowed to use textext.dlft but finally the appropriate command appears to be textext.dflt which require to switch F and L letters. Is it on purpose ? would it make sense to have a dlft version to match LeFT ? ___ 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 ___
