[NTG-context] characters.tex.toutf bug

2023-03-29 Thread Max Chernoff via ntg-context
Hi Hans,

"characters.tex.toutf" only works if there is a backslash somewhere in
its input string. This leads to some really surprising behaviour in the
following example:

   \definefontfeature[default][tlig=no, trep=no]
   
   \startbuffer[test-bib]
   @article{one,
   author = {``Author---\v{O}ne''},
   }
   @article{two,
   author = {``Author---Two''},
   }
   \stopbuffer
   
   \usebtxdataset[test-bib.buffer]
   
   \starttext
   \placelistofpublications[method=dataset]
   \stoptext

Removing the following lines

   elseif not find(str,"\\",1,true) then
   return str
   
from the definition of "characters.tex.toutf" in "char-tex.{lmt,lua}"
fixes this issue for me.

Thanks,
-- Max

[NTG-context] contextgarden wiki

2023-03-29 Thread Jim via ntg-context
At https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Wiki:About there is a Contact section,
including

For general questions (any questions!), start a new topic on the
Context_wiki:Discussions page.

If you need the help of an administrator, there is a list of
administrators at Context_wiki:Administrators.

There are *no* topics on the Discussions page, and the Administrators page
doesn't exist.  This causes me to be concerned that no one is there.

Is anyone there?



In case anyone wonders why I am asking... I was looking at the wiki page
for "\listing", which is no longer in Mk IV (and may also not be in Mk II
(I didn't check)).  In 2015 both Hans and Wolfgang mentioned in this list
that the command was gone.

I just edited the wiki to note that the command was gone, should anyone
venture there, but I think even better would be to delete the wiki page
entirely.  However, that sounds like a decision for senior management, and
I was going to ask them, but I couldn't find the right corner office.

Thoughts?

Jim

Hi all,

I d/l'ed that binary, replaced the TeXlive version (which is dated March
11, even though I just updated texlive 5 minutes ago) and, lo and behold,
the PDF now looks like it should.

So from my point of view, that particular issue is resolved.

Sorry about your issues with Mac security.  I have this feeling that Apple
is slowly iterating towards a state where they sell you an expensive
computer with a beautiful acrylic and polished stainless steel stand and
ask you just to admire it, but don't touch it.  :-)
as they don't update the os after 7 year (so i could only test it on 
some ancient intel osx, maybe with less security in place) you end up 
with stacking them up to a decent steel pedestral


but, even then, one can always build the binary oneself (installing some 
dev tools + cmake worked out ok for me on that insecure 2013 machine)
