Vim offers good support for ConTeXt and MetaPost out of the box (I maintain those filetypes). The Vim page in ConTeXt Garden is up to date, afaict, but of course it is always better to check Vim's help file for the most up-to-date information (`:help ft-context`). Syntax highlighting is based on files generated by mtxrun: the help file explains how to regenerating them if necessary, so you may stay in sync with your ConTeXt installation. Completion is kind of an orthogonal matter: there are quite a lot of plugins for Vim if the built-in methods do not satisfy you. Again, the wiki page has some suggestions (those may be a bit outdated, as new completion plugins pop up all the time). Fwiw, I use MUcomplete. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I should have said that I am only *assuming* that what I wrote may be the reason for the error. In fact, I have now tried to open a file starting with %, and I get no error.

I am the current maintainer of the ConTeXt/MetaPost/METAFONT plugins. I do not use NeoVim, and maintaining a plugin compatible with both systems would be too much of a headache (I know because I have tried with other plugins). I think that the ConTeXt plugin was not fully functional in NeoVim even before switch to Vim 9 script (async typesetting was based on Vim API and, last time I checked, NeoVim had an incompatible API). Switching to Vim 9 script has many advantages, as Bram has explained in the thread I have linked to. So, I believe that it is only natural that Vim's runtime will gradually move towards Vim 9 script. Yours is a valid concern, but maintaining (Neo)Vim plugins is a community effort. I took over the development of the ConTeXt plugin because I wanted to improve the support for ConTeXt in Vim, and at the time the plugin had no active maintainer. In the same way, an unsatisfied user might take over the development of a ConTeXt plugin for NeoVim, or maybe even for both systems. Anyone can submit a patch, and I would welcome a co-maintainer, or even someone who would like to take over. I alone simply do not have enough capacity to wet my feet in two rivers. Indeed, if you or someone reading this would like to steer the direction of future development of those plugins, let me know!

[NTG-context] MetaFun keywords extracted by mtxrun --script interface
I am updating Vim syntax coloring for Metapost/MetaFun, which is now based on the files that are automatically generated with mtxrun --script interface --vim To test the results, I am opening ConTeXt's own MetaPost files in the editor and check how they look. It seems that the output of the above command is missing several "keywords". For instance: beginglyph, endglyph, anglestriped, numberstriped, roundedsquarexy, starring, dashing, pathpoint, primitive, immutable, etc. Is it because MetaFun keywords are picked up manually?

It has async compilation support, and context-sensitive (pun not intended) syntax highlighting. All is explained in the wiki. I would expect syntax highlighting and mappings to be functional in NeoVim, too (async jobs are incompatible with NeoVim, however). But, Vim and NeoVim have diverged enough that they should be considered totally different (and incompatible) programs. The new version of the ConTeXt plugin (which is not shipped yet) is written in Vim9 script, which NeoVim does not implement. My time is limited, so I can't support both platforms, and I have decided to stick with Vim. If anyone wants to try the new plugin, feel free to contact me via email. > Metafun has added some new keywords and it will be nice to support > those.

The command is: mtxrun --script mtx-interface --vim The next version of my plugin uses those. The version currently shipping with Vim was curated by hand, with the help of custom scripts to automate keyword extraction. It should be ok, although at this point not really up to date with the most recently added keywords. > It will be cool to have a more integrated support, like showing table > of contents in the sidebar, For that, I use the TagBar plugin, with custom Ctags configuration.

I was sure that I had used lettrine with MKIV in a document of mine, but
after your reply I double checked that and, in fact, I was using
lettrine only with MKII. On the plus side, I have recovered my settings
for MKIV (which work with LMTX as well).
I think that the `distance` parameter of \setupinitials does what you
want. Besides, if your font provides real small capitals, you may use
\definefirstline.
This is how I set up things in one of my documents:
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality,onum=no,lnum=yes]
% \definefirstline below requires a font that implements small capitals as
% a feature (Latin Modern does not). I have used this:
% \definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][Sorts Mill Goudy] [
% tf=name:Sorts Mill Goudy Regular,
% it=name:Sorts Mill Goudy Italic,
% ]
% If you don't have the font above, try this:
\setupbodyfont[heros]
\setupbodyfont[mainfont,11pt]
\definemeasure[CAindent][12pt]
\setupindenting[yes,\measure{CAindent}]
% Every chapter body text starts with a drop cap:
\defineinitial[normal][
n=3,
m=1,
distance=18pt, % <== Add this
state=start
]
% Special case: drop cap starting with a quote
\defineinitial[quote][
n=3,
m=2,
distance=13pt,
hoffset=5pt, % Move drop cap a bit to the left
method=none
]
% Some initials may need special adjustments, depending on the font
\defineinitial[Q][
voffset=2\lineheight,
n=3,
m=1,
distance=18pt,
state=start
]
% Full first line in small caps
\definefirstline[smallcapsfirstline][
alternative=line,
style=smallcaps,
]
% First n words in small caps (three in this case)
\definefirstline[smallcapsfirstlinethree][
alternative=word,
n=3,
style=smallcaps,
]
\starttext
\setfirstline[smallcapsfirstlinethree]
\setinitial[normal] Suppose we have a system for the approval of

\blank[2*big]
\setfirstline[smallcapsfirstline]
\setinitial[quote] “Suppose we have a system for the approval of

For those who are interested, the latest TeXShop release provides support for ConTeXt's own syncing method (by invoking mtxrun --script synctex). This supersedes the old syncing method based on Laurens' SyncTeX, which should not be used any more.

I take the opportunity to thank Hans for being so responsive with the changes in mtxrun necessary to provide this feature, and for patiently bear with my sometimes unclear requests or feedback. Kudos also to Richard Koch (TeXShop's author) for his relentless support of the macOS TeX community and, in this case, of the ConTeXt community! Happy ConTeXt'ing!

Is it: source code -> XML -> .lua -> mtx-interface -> data? In particular, it is not clear to me how i-*.xml files are related to mtx-interface, as the latter does not use them directly, AFAICS. Anyway, mtx-interface seems exactly what I am looking for, and I would like to use it to generate ConTeXt keywords for Vim. Can I patch that script? For MetaFun keywords I don't know yet: do those XML files contain enough information about the content of all mp-* source files? E.g., the fact that `hlingrid` is a def? Looking at the Scite files, I see only internals and commands, and they seem to cover only the "main" MetaFun names. I have used a custom script in the past for fine-grained keyword extraction from MetaFun's source code. By fine-grained, I mean that the output contains information about the kind of keyword (def, primary def, vardef, constant, variable, etc.) I could update it to Lua and mp-*.mpxl if that interests you—unless that has already been done, of course.

So, I am using the wrong bibliographic style for my purposes. In practice, at least in Computer Science, publishers (and also editors) are often omitted in references (it's more a "don't care", rather than a "don't know" thing, though). > If a publisher does not exist, was it published? > > If the publisher is unknown, then why not state that: > publisher="unknown publisher", or whatever? Strictly speaking, your reasoning makes perfect sense, and I am all for enforcing constraints if a given bibliographic style requires them. But then, there might be alternatives for when one does not need to adhere to those styles. Does ConTeXt (LMTX) currently provide anything else besides apa and aps? I have read the BibTeX manual looong time ago, but I remember that there were mandatory and optional fields for each reference type. My memory may fail me, but I think that Editor and Publisher were not mandatory fields for inproceedings and article (I think Publisher is mandatory for book). Is there a bibliographic style in ConTeXt that follows those rules? Bibliography management is very sophisticated in ConTeXt (much more than LaTeX) and I have not grasped all of its details yet. It seems to me that it has also evolved quite a bit in recent years. So, the "ConTeXt way" of doing bibliographies still eludes me to some extent.

Thank you all for the precious comments.
The current LMTX appears to have almost fixed my issue, except that
inproceedings entries without a publisher have the text "Author"
instead of the publisher's name.
I must say that I have no requirement to use the APA style specifically;
I do it only because it uses the format (Name, Year) for the citation.
I guess that I could use another style (aps seems fine) and just
customize the citation format. I have tried with
\usebtxdataset[main.bib]
\setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=authoryear]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
but it seems that the setup command has no effect: the citations still
use numbers.

[NTG-context] BibTeX inproceedings entries not rendered correctly in APA style
I don't know if this is restricted to inproceedings entries, but
consider the following test.bib:
@inproceedings{Foo:1983,
author = {Foo, Bar},
booktitle = {Booktitle},
pages = {34--39},
title = {Title of the paper},
year = {1983}
}
When this is typeset:
\usebtxdataset[test.bib]
\usebtxdefinitions[apa]
\starttext
\cite[Foo:1983]
\placelistofpublications
\stoptext
the result is:
(Foo, 1983)
Foo, B. (1983). Title of the paper. In Title of the paper., Booktitle. Author.
I would expect:
(Foo, 1983)
Foo, B. (1983). Title of the paper. In Booktitle, p. 34–39.
or something similar.
I can reproduce it with ConTeXt from TeX Live 2021 and the current LMTX.
Is it a bug?

Vim is universally available and it supports almost any imaginable syntax. t-vim makes creating code-oriented documents absolutely painless (ConTeXt helps, of course). And it makes me scream when I have to do that in LaTeX. So, kudos for that. Personally, I do not think that supporting other highlighters would add much value to what is already there. But if it is possible to make the module more general without overcomplicating it, it might be a good idea.

On 2021-05-21, Nicola wrote: > For some reason, the vim module has stopped highlighting code associated > to custom filetypes (it still works for built-in filetypes). I think I have found the culprit. In t-vim.tex, lines 63-88, Vim is called with --clean. That option appears *after* -u, effectively overriding it. Moving --clean as the first option (or, better, removing it) solves my issue. Some remarks. The module has this comment: --clean % dont load scada [sic] file (nvim) If the purpose of the option is to avoid loading a shada file, `-i NONE` (which is already there) should be enough. In Vim, --clean is not strictly necessary, because it is effectively a shorthard for `-N -i NONE --noplugin`. In Neovim, the meaning might be slightly different. Which brings me to the next paragraph. My recommendation would be not to care about Neovim. It is *not* a drop-in replacement for Vim and not meant to be compatible with Vim (it has already diverged from Vim in significant ways). Supporting both is likely going to become more and more difficult as time goes by. Anyway, if you do want to support both, I'd suggest at least to segregate the two commands, even if currently they may be (almost) identical. Hope this helps!

[NTG-context] t-vim module: no highlighting for custom filetypes
For some reason, the vim module has stopped highlighting code associated
to custom filetypes (it still works for built-in filetypes).
For instance, typeset this:
\usemodule[vim]
\startvimrc[name=foo]
set nocompatible
set runtimepath+=~/foo/
\stopvimrc
\definevimtyping[foo][
style={\switchtobodyfont[16pt,tt]},
directory=code/,
syntax=foo,
alternative=pscolor,
vimrc=foo,
]
\starttext
\startfoo
let while endwhile
\stopfoo
\stoptext
The ~/foo/ directory contains ftdetect/foo.vim:
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.foo setfiletype foo
and syntax/foo.vim:
if exists("b:current_syntax")
finish
endif
syn case match
syn iskeyword @,48-57,192-255,_
syn keyword fooKeyword let while endwhile
hi def link fooKeyword Keyword
let b:current_syntax = "foo"
If I change `syntax=foo` to, say, `syntax=vim` in \definevimtyping
then the code is highlighted. So, I suspect that I am not configuring
the runtimepath correctly. Any idea how to fix this?
I am using the latest LMTX to which I have added modules as explained
here:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX
t-vim VERSION reads 2021.03.01.

Two things: 1. can you also go the other way with mtxrun (determine position in the PDF from a line in the source file)? 2.

The current problem is only with external editors, and it is because the directive above is not read by TeXShop when using an external editor.

Unfortunately, for some reason iSH raises an error when trying to import that Docker image: iSH is finnicky about filesystems, apparently—this is noted in their wiki: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Install-&-Activate-Alternate-Filesystems Besides, I have found some inconsistencies between texmf.cnf and texmfcnf.lua in the TeX Live distribution that can be installed through apk: for instance, one file used ~/.texlive2019 and the other ~/.texlive2020. There may be other issues, but I am not expert enough. For now, I have given up. I have some hope with another iOS/iPadOS app, a-Shell (https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell), which is what I currently use to typeset LaTeX documents. It allows you to install TeX Live, but for some reason it comes without ConTeXt (it has LuaTeX, though). There is an open request for adding ConTeXt (https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell/issues/208).

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.

Sorry, my explanation of what I am trying to achieve was a bit too terse. There is a little wonderful app on the App Store, called iSH (https://github.com/ish-app/ish), which essentially allows you to run a 32-bit x86 Alpine Linux distribution on the iPad. One feature of the app is that it can import and mount several "file systems". One way to create such a file system is to export a Docker container. So, what one can do is create a Docker container in some other device (I use my laptop), configure it as desired, then export it into a .tar archive, copy it into the iPad, and import it into iSH. This is better than installing/building packages directly inside the app, because (a) compiling on the iPad is extremely slow, and (b) some packages may raise errors if one tries to install them inside the app (TeX Live being one of them: this link explains the issue and the Docker workaround: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/issues/1123). iSH emulates x86_32 and uses Musl. AFAICS, ConTeXt LMTX currently only provides a 64-bit download for Linux Musl. So, the next best alternative is to use ConTeXt from TeX Live. So, this is where I am at: I am trying to make ConTeXt work inside an x86 Alpine Linux Musl container, using the official Alpine package.

[NTG-context] Issue running ConTeXt from TeX Live 2019 on Alpine Linux 3.12
I'd like to run ConTeXt on Alpine Linux (ultimately, to run it on an
iPad with the iSH app). I am currently testing it with Docker. This is
what I have done:
docker pull econcz/x86-alpine-glibc:ish-import
docker run -it econcz/x86-alpine-glibc:ish-import /bin/sh
cp /etc/apk/repositories /tmp/repositories
cat /etc/os-release
ALPINE_VERSION=3.12 # Set accordingly to previous command
echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v${ALPINE_VERSION}/main/; | tee
/etc/apk/repositories
echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v${ALPINE_VERSION}/community/; | tee
-a /etc/apk/repositories
apk update
This installs and configures repos for Alpine Linux 3.12. Then,
I install TeX Live as follows:
apk add texlive-full texlive-xetex texlive-luatex texlive-dev
apk add ghostscript ghostscript-fonts ghostscript-dev
apk add graphicsmagick graphicsmagick-dev
Then, I run `mtxrun --generate`, which exits instantly with the output
reported below. However, that is apparently not enough. I still get:
$ context Hello-world.tex
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Currently, there are no indentation rules (except for embedded MetaPost code), and that is intentional: as the examples above show, there is no commonly accepted indentation style, so forcing one on the user is not a good idea. That said, if you have a list of desiderata, I may consider adding an option to enable them. You may open an issue here for further discussion: https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-context-metapost If you need to reflow paragraphs, the plugin provides the tp text object. So, for instance, you may type gqtp to reformat the current paragraph (with hard breaks) using the current textwidth.

Thanks. That works with my MWE, but in my document I actually have
a chapter, and chapters start on the right page, even if I add page=no
to \setuppagenumbering:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,page=no]
\definemakeup[ToC][align=middle,pagestate=start,doublesided=no]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startmakeup[ToC]
\placecontent
\stopmakeup
\chapter{Preface}
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\dorecurse{10}{\chapter{Foo}}
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
I have no idea how to allow chapters to start at arbitrary pages when
alternative=doublesided.

Yes, the ToC takes a single page. The makeup seems to insert a blank
page afterwards. MWE:

[NTG-context] \setfirstline is applied to whole paragraph
When I typeset the example at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefirstline (reported below for your convenience), \setfirstline is applied to the whole first paragraph, which is laid out on a single line (hence, it is cropped at the edge of the page). Besides, the second \setfirstline is not applied at all, i.e., there are no small caps. If I comment out the first \setfirstline, then the second one does produce small caps, but again, a whole paragraph is set in small caps, not just the first line. $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Users/nicola/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.08.11 15:59 mtx-context | main context file: /Users/nicola/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.08.11 15:59 Nicola \setupbodyfont [heros] %% important: smallcaps capable font! \definefirstline [italicfirstline] [ alternative=line, style=italic, ] \definefirstline [smallcapsfirstline] [ alternative=line, color=darkred, style=smallcaps, ] \starttext % \setfirstline[italicfirstline]\input knuth \par \setfirstline[smallcapsfirstline] \input knuth \par \stoptext ___ 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 ___

[NTG-context] Help on tweaking alignment, page numbers and ToC
Hi,
first of all, let me say *thank you* for the vast improvements on
ConTeXt Garden! Browsing the documentation and finding stuff is so
much easier and pleasant than it used to be (also the site seems
faster).
Thanks to the docs, dropcaps and protrusion have no secrets for me,
but I am still struggling with some basic tasks (see the document
below):
0. Push text to the bottom of the text area (see copyright).
1. Increase the space between Roman numbers and titles in the ToC.
2. Vertically center the ToC (wrt to the text area).
3. Suppress page numbers and headers in all blank pages.
4. Suppress headers in the front matter.
5. Style and position page numbers differently in the front and body
matter (e.g., centered only in the front matter).
As my full document uses environments, I would like most setups to
be in the environment, if possible. E.g., is it possible to replace
\setuphead[chapter][after={}]
(see below) with an environment setup that applies only to the ToC?

Today I wanted to try LMTX and I have found these instructions in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS Rather than disabling SIP, I have proceeded as follows: 1. Download macOS's version of LMTX from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation 2. Unpack 3. cd context-osx-64 4. xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bin/mtxrun 5. sh ./install.sh Point 4 is important to avoid the dialog "mtxrun cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."

Thanks for looking into it. I will download and test that soon.
A couple of remarks:
1. In one of my old documents, I had this command inside the colorscheme
block:
\setups{vim-minor-groups}
Was that to achieve the same purpose?
2. The wiki has no mention of \startcolorscheme... \stopcolorscheme or
\setups. An example of two would be very welcome!

That might provide a finer control over the highlighting, but the main
issue here seems to be that the generated file has Identifier instead of
Function, Special instead of Delimiter and Constant instead of String.
Looking at 2context.vim, AFAICS s:id_name seems computed correctly.
Maybe, the script does not set the appropriate filetype?

Please find a MWE at the bottom of this post.
The expected behaviour is that the keyword `function` in the JavaScript
snippet and `foobar` in the Ruby snippet should be colored and in
italics, as comments are. The respective Vim highlight groups are
`javaScriptFunction` and `rubyMethodName`, which both resolve to
`Function`.
The actual behaviour is that comments are highlighted correctly, but
I do not get any syntax highlighting for functions.
Thanks for t-vim, btw: I can't express in words how nice an idea it is!

In a template I wrote long time ago to typeset code, I have:
\usemodule[vim]
\unprotect
\startcolorscheme[oceansunset]
\definesyntaxgroup[Comment][\c!color={colortwo},\c!style=italic]
% etc.
\stopcolorscheme
\protect
which I use as described in the wiki:
\definevimtyping
[...]
[...
alternative=oceansunset,
...]
But that does not seem to have any effect (if I change the colors, the
syntax highlighting does not change). I can use pscolor and
blackandwhite, though. I see that \startcolorscheme is not documented,
so maybe there is another mechanism?

You seem to have fixed your issue, but, should you bump into further issues, first make sure that your ConTeXt installation works properly from the command line. Also, keep in mind that your shell environment may be different from the environment in which ConTeXt is executed inside Vim, so you may need to explicitly set some environment variables (e.g., inside g:context_mtxrun) to make things sail smoothly. Global variables (whose names start with `g:`) may be set in your vimrc, which is typically located at $HOME/.vim/vimrc (note that the filename does *not* start with a dot, only the directory's name does). Good ConTeXt typesetting in Vim!

Well, Vim has pretty solid support for ConTeXt (disclaimer: I am maintaining the ConTeXt plugin distributed with Vim), including the features you mention and much more: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim But if you have never used Vim, it has a steeper learning curve that a typical text editor.

[NTG-context] SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop
Hi, is anyone using ConTeXt with Skim, or TeXShop, on macOS? SyncTeX used to work fine with ConTeXt in both apps. Now, it seems that ConTeXt has started to generate a .synctex file rather than a .synctex.gz, and the format seems to have changed (?). As I haven’t followed recent (or perhaps not so recent) developments in this area, do you have any suggestions to make SyncTeX work again? I am using Skim, but any PDF viewer would be fine if Skim cannot be used for the purpose any longer.

A drawback of that approach, as far as I can see, is that those substitutions are applied globally across the system. Btw, Vim has a similar feature, called `iabbrev`: the advantage is that replacements are editor-specific and the method is cross-platform (because Vim is). Vim also offers support for inputting “digraphs” and for defining your own. Even better, for the use case at hand, is that you may also define your own keymap, e.g.: https://github.com/bpj/bpj-vim-keymaps/blob/master/keymap/bxs.vim I guess that other editors (e.g., Emacs) may offer similar functionality.

Keyboard layouts can be found here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi_id=ipa-sil_keyboard The text editor I use is (Mac)Vim, which has very good Unicode support.

[NTG-context] Vertical space around displayed formulas
Hello,
has something been changed in the last few months in the vertical
spacing of displayed formulas, frames or other environments?
I am re-typesetting some presentations using the latest beta and the
content of slides (especially those containing formulas) now tends to
flow to the next page, while before it used to fit in one page.
I paste below an example, if that helps. I am using a system font,
so you may not be able to reproduce my problem without it.
Is there something I should change in my documents?
Nicola

MetaPost indentation is tough. I have rewritten the indent script in
Vim from scratch, and now it works reasonably well. I will try yours,
but you might try the one currently in Vim, too.
I did not change metapost indenting, but defined some rules for
indenting of context files. I believe that your indent file does not
attempt to indent context files (I may be mistaken because I am just
reading the .vim files, not testing it as I don't have vim8 yet).
Correct, no indentation for ConTeXt. This is something that may be worth
adding.
I could maybe create a GitHub repository, to make it easier to merge
your work.
That will be nice. Then I can also send you pull requests for specific
things.
Ok, I'll let you know when I've done it. Pull requests will make my life
much easier :)

Ok, I will take a look. I see that your file does not depend on
plaintex.vim. It might be a good idea to remove that dependency...

The syntax scripts in Vim already cover all of MetaFun. MetaFun keywords
are highlighted by default inside ConTeXt documents; for MetaPost files
('mp' filetype), you must put
let g:mp_metafun_macros = 1
into your vimrc.

I will look into those, too. Do you know that Vim has built-in support
for digraphs (:h digraphs)? For example, α can be obtained by typing
a* in Insert mode.

Compare with a typical TeX error: tex error > tex error on line 210 in file /path/to/main.tex: ! Undefined control sequence l.210 \sdkjdkjhkdkkjk In the same line you see: 1) the type of error (tex error); 2) the line number; 3) the file in which the error occurs; 4) the error message. For MetaPost errors, only 1) and 4) are given with the error; 3) may be inferred (by tracking `open source`/`close source` lines). But I see no trace of 2).
