[NTG-context] new beta
Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx beta. Hopefully the installer works ok as I redid some of the "zip" related code (simpler, smaller binary too). FWIW, the luametatex codebase is now pretty close to okay, but of course there can be bugs, but nothing thay can't be solved fast. Given some earlier discussions on the list, I wonder about running context in containers and (behind the screens) web applications. Is there anything needed, mostly in the support scripts I guess, that can make that more comfortable / efficient / etc?

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
Hi Hans,
Thanks for the new features and the new release.
I could download the new installer for MacOS which installs the latest version
but it cannot make the formats ending with the error message which I copy below.
Best regards: OK
PS: this is the error message when installing:

The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never
\def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Hi Hans, I wonder whether my issue with the fonts might be caused by my ConTeXt distribution (such as the one with expansion, reported some ). Windows is updated with security patches (or whichever the name might be). If I try to explain to the IT people that a font is misbehaving and an application (I don’t even try to explain what ConTeXt actually is [they won’t understand]) cannot recognize it, they will reply that the application is wrong. Because of that, I’m not even trying to explain what is wrong with the font at all. In my previous company, I remember a guy (which had as slightly idea of what TeX was [he used LaTeX for his PhD decades ago]) with a strong background in computer science. He was impressed that I “developed” a system with no coding knowledge, but he objected that ConTeXt wasn’t standard software (the standard for him was OpenOffice.org). I replied that the standard was in the output PDF documents (which were PDF/A-3a). (I didn’t mention that working with OOo was a real pain and that trying to write conditionals with document merging was extremely annoying for me.)

The document contains hidden, invisible, non-viewable or
non-printable annotations.
The document contains annotations or form fields with ambigous or

The document does not conform to the PDF/A-3a standard.
Done.
My understanding is that 3-a should support both pdf and non-pdf
attachments. This fails in a similar manner with both pdf/a-3a-validated
files and with plain text files. I also tested with verapdf, and it also
rejected the document with an attachment.
Is this my error, or is it not yet supported?

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
Dear Hans,
The problem I described in my previous message comes indeed from
\defineexpansion which is not defined.
Upon commenting out the lines 95--98 in the file « hand-ini.mkxl » that is the
four lines:
\defineexpansion
[\c!step=1,
\c!stretch=40,
\c!shrink=20]
I could remake the format with version 2019.12.05 18:59. Then lmtx works fine
as far as my files are concerned, but I don't know if there are side effects…
(However, once the format is made, if I uncomment those lines then lmtx works
fine, but clearly one cannot make again the format)
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] Impacts Project
Hi list! Thank you for helping to answer so many questions and remove so many roadblocks with my project. The result is a photobook written in Markdown, piped through pandoc to generate ConTeXt code, then stylized using a series of .tex files. The coolest ConTeX part, IMO, is the orange dot in the timeline. Using MetaPost, the date for the timeline is read directly from the document, then plotted relative to the \overlaywidth. Changing the date in the Markdown document winds up repositioning the timeline dot automagically. https://impacts.to/ The book is going to be released under a CC BY 4.0 license, including all the source code necessary to generate the book. Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in nabbing a copy of the PDF, let me know (preferably via the web form). Again, my sincerest gratitude, this project would have been a much more time-consuming and arduous journey without your generous help. ___ 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 ___

Re: [NTG-context] Bug: \adjustspacing=1 does not disable expansion

From the pdfTeX manual: When \pdfadjustspacing is set to 1, font expansion is applied after TeX’s normal paragraph breaking routines have broken the paragraph into lines. In this case, line breaks are identical to standard TeX behavior. So maybe just copy this paragraph to the LuaTeX manual. ok. btw, Level 1 is rather useless and was more a variant to the at that time bitmap generated instances (which was the original idea: generate new fonts with mfm but that mode was dropped).
