Many thanks Wolfgang! That's what I was waiting for.
I always thought of \framed as an \hbox.
Is it actually implemented as a vbox? Or does it depends on the situation?
framed defaults to an hbox unless align is set; in TABLE's align is set
so there it defaults to a vbox

Yes. I don't remember whether I already complained about it or not,
but here's another (minimal) example to reproduce it:
\starttext
\startformula
a+b=\int_{i=0}^{\infty}\Gamma\,dx
\stopformula
\stoptext
The main problem (besides being quite slow for the default LM) is that
font loading in ConTeXt+XeTeX now does the following:
if (FontName is a valid font) then
use FontName
else
use [FontName]
end
And that one forgets the third possibility: about the old tfm fonts
which should be loaded without any quotes, for example rm-lmr12
\font\a=rm-lmr12 works, but \font\a=rm-lmr12 at 12pt doesn't, and
ConTeXt tries to use that one. Normally TeX would stop: generate and
report the error at that point, but ConTeXt currently skips those
errors on purpose and tries to use an unexisting font, so it results
in a broken PDF.
i will send you a patch (yet another test for a spec -)

Dear ConTeXters,

in a *.tuo file. Since the definition (core-reg.tex)
\def\dosetpageregisterpage#1#2#3#4#5#6%
{\doifreglevelelse[#5]%
{\dodosetpageregisterpage{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}%

there will be a spurious space between page number like
Entry 23 , 67

\def\dosetpageregisterpage#1#2#3#4#5#6%
{\doifreglevelelse[#5]%
{\dodosetpageregisterpage{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}%
{}\ignorespaces}

pseudo ones in mkii)

2. [feature request] Current register implementation enable upto three
entry level (\index{level 1+level 2+level 3}). My custommer require 4
levels. Please could the entry number be extended?
not trivial, since we then need to adapt texutil too + a bunch of
macros; adapting mkiv may be easier
3. [not important, just for info] Formating of the register entries is
not much user friendly. See \hangindent1em in a following definition:
\def\dosetpageregisterentrya#1#2%
{\flushseenregisterpage
\edef\currententrylevel{1}%
\global\let\c!entryb\relax
\global\let\c!entryc\relax
\gdef\c!entrya
{\iffirstregisterentry\else\endgraf\fi % new
\global\firstregisterpagetrue
\hangindent1em\noindent\c!entryreference
\dohandlepageregisterentry{#1}{#2}%
\global\firstregisterentryfalse
\global\firstsubentrytrue
\global\firstsubsubentrytrue}}
So, when one want the change formating he has to redefine this
definition. It is against a ConTeXt spirit.
some day there will be a better interface (probably only in mkiv)

well, this is not recent, but has aways been the case; in setuptex i

can have multiple trees installed, without clashed; you don't wanna know
what can happen (and how much time it costs to find out and fix) if some
installer has set variables at the outer shell level; i just don't want
to take any risk here
So what environment variables can I set globally to avoid the need for

OSFONTDIR=%SystemRoot%\fonts
if you want to use platform fonts indeed
SETUPTEX=done
CTXMINIMAL=yes
not if setuptex is not used

In my experiments with luatex, there's one thing that may be

It converts the combination `` and '' to double quotation marks,
however. So my question: wouldn't it make sense to convert the single
marks as well? (And please don't tell me Oh but you should use \quote
{} instead of ` '. I know that, but I guess that many users have
hundreds of old documents where they use `'. Moreover, ' also creates
the apostrophe character, which cannot be avoided.)

Re: [NTG-context] LuaTeX and Unicode Math
Aditya Mahajan wrote:
Hi,
While trying to convert some stuff from HTML to PDF (using LuaTeX) I
have noticed some minor problems: unicode math characters work OK in
text mode (under assumption that the font has them), but not in math
mode. In pdfTeX they work OK in both cases. (That behaviour is
expected, but not necessary desired.)
I know about this, and this is one of the main reason that I am still
using pdftex for day to day work. I have become used to typing most
of my math in unicode, and now none of it works (with luatex). But I
have been too busy to actually try to understand what is happening
behind the scences.
we just need to initialize the mappings,and i had no time for that yet,
when done, we can get rid of most existing math definitions
AFAIK, luatex has not toched on the math handling of tex yet. There
are some old ideas on how TeX's math support can be improved, and with
luatex that is a real possibility. I am sure that at some stage, once
some aspects of the lua functionality are more stable, this will be
looked into. It makes sense to finalize mkiv support only after that.
sure, but adding definitions for unicode math is not that complex and
should work ok
I would normally say something like
\chardef`φ=\active
\defφ{\phi}
to solve the problem, but that doesn't work when doing XML conversion.
indeed, no option
Actually, for a unicode aware engine it should be the other way around
\def\phi{φ}
That is, all definemathcommand be changed to something like
\definemathcharacter[φ][font:location]
well, we can start thinking of virtal fonts; on the other hand, a year
from now we will have math in the tex gyre fonts so maybe it's not worth
the effort
and so on. But my guess is that this will need a overhaul of the math
character encoding. Again, that is something which I do not understand
at the moment.

On a normal system a normal user shouldn't have the necessity to change anything of the above. That should be done at install time of the respective stuff. no, the font cache is not pregenerated at all, think of it like this: - luatex loads otf font (takes time) - provides it as table to mkiv (takes more time) - mkiv adds a few things, preprocesses the font a bit - then saves it as table (compiled) so that loading goes in an eyeblink Furthermore, the cache could be used (no idea whether this is true) for: - single job caching of data wouldn't it be better to keep generated files like this in the cwd, like .aux, etc files we're talking of megabytes here btw, context has no aux, toc etc file but a tuo file where all multi pass data goes into; in mkiv there is a lua companion because much of that data is not stored in lua tables (i still have to do the table of contents) What was the reason to do the hashing somewhere else but add the md5sums etc for these trees? lengths of paths and such; i run luatex on the unix web/etc servers and have multiple trees in parallel, so now i can with one variable changed access all data; /temp/luatex/context/treeroot/whatever /temp/luatex/context/c:/blabla/tex/blabla/whatever does not work that well, so i hash the treeroot Hans

Hi Hans,
can you provide a backgroundimage key for localframed (ot use it in framed)

\starttext

\setupbackgrounds

\startstandardmakeup
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
I want to write the above example in the following way,
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background={color,image},
backgroundcolor=orange,
backgroundimage=cow]
The same mechanism should be also possible for \framed.
It should be possible to enable a image and a backgroundcolor at the same
time to have a fallback mechanism for the case there is no image available
or I want a colored background behind the image.
- you can use background anc backgroundcolor at the same time
- you can have multiple backgrounds
\defineoverlay[one][\overlayfigure{name}]
\defineoverlay[two][abcdef]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={one,two}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={one,foreground,two}]
etc
I have also a few wishes for \backgroundimage command in core-box,
is it possible let the graphics start in the left top corner and crop it only
at the ride side and at the bottom like the default bahaviour in html.
i think that there is some code in the x-fo file for that
Shouldn't the \scratchbox in the \nextboxwd test be a \nextbox.
where?

Re: [NTG-context] luatex on debian
George N. White III wrote:
debian (unstable,testing?) users can get a snapshot release of luatex in
apt package form.
This works for me, but there are a few things that needed slight adjustment,
so
I wanted to report them here to encourage others to start testing it.
I needed to set TEXMF=/etc/texmf. Luatools doesn't seem to handle the {..}
in the variables that are combined in TEXMF. Also, when it didn't find
hm, it should handle the {} ok (well, i did rewrite that part a bit
because it didn't handle some cases; can you send me the TEXMF spec that
failed?)
AlProTex.sty, the message indicated that it couldn't find AlProTeX.sty
('x'--'X')!
ls c:/data/develop/tex/texmf/tex/generic/dratex/AlProTeX.sty
/dev/fs/C/data/develop/tex/texmf/tex/generic/dratex/AlProTex.sty
kpsewhich AlProTeX.sty
c:/data/develop/tex/texmf/tex/generic/dratex/AlProTeX.sty
luatools AlProTeX.sty
c:/data/develop/tex/texmf/tex/generic/dratex/AlProTex.sty
so, the file actually is named with an 'x' ; luatools (i.e. the file
handler written in lua) can handle mixed cases in a way that it will
always resolve to the syetem filename, here the one with th elower case
x; so i guess that kpse is reporting wrong
is there an alias file involved (i ignore that one, actually alias files
are not supposed to exist any longer)
For testing, you can just set some simplified TEXMF, e.g.,:
export
TEXMF={$HOME/texmf,/usr/local/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-texlive,/usr/share/texmf}
or you can edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf to simplify things like:
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex}
In my case, I no longer have texmf-textex, so this became just
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-texlive
Then run: update-texmf and luatools --generate
You can check the TEXMF variable with:
$ luatools --expand-var TEXMF
More tests to make sure the configuration is working:
$ luatools msam7.afm
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/bluesky/ams/msam7.afm
Then build the format:
$ luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
and compile something:
$ texexec --luatex foo
TeXExec | processing document 'foo'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context

[NTG-context] problems with luatex
Hi,
there has been reported problems with luatex and mem settings; this is a
result from a problem in the path interpreter and is fixed in a next
release (i cannot release now due to fundamental changes in luatex)
a temp solution is to make sure that TEXMFCNF is a simple path (no {} mess)

I've tried to post this to the list several times, but it doesn't show up...
In our XML-ConTeXt-PDF workflow, we've encountered a few intermittent
problems when using split natural tables. I'm not able to post the original
documents in which the problems are manifesting, but below is a document that
reproduces one of the problems. The first page of the document is full of
text, pushing a split natural table with five rows and a header to the top of
the second page. However, only the first row appears on the second page, and
the rest of the table is continued on the third page.
I'm using a stock ConTeXt 9/28 distribution, but this problem can also be
reproduced on live.contextgarden.net.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or help me debug this problem?
These natural table bugs are the only thing stopping us from deploying our
ConTeXt workflow.
Cheers,
Mike Santy

Re: [NTG-context] linebreak NOT in section title BUT in content
Steffen Wolfrum wrote:
Hi,
\chapter{First line\\second line}
gives a linebreak in the chapter's title but not in the corresponding
toc entry.
I need it the other way round: a line break at a specific point of
the toc entry *and not* in the chapters title.
Is this possible?

Thanks Peter for the pointer to the multipage table in the wiki. I don't
know how I overlooked that example. However, I was still able to duplicate
the problem with this sample table by including a page full of text before
the table (see below).
If the dorecurse is set to 62 or 63, the contents slightly overflow the first
page text area and only the first row of the table is rendered on the second
page. If dorecurse on blah is performed 61 or 64 times, the table is
rendered properly.
it's always a problem to determine what's left on a page
\def\blah{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy stupid dog.}
\dorecurse{62}{\blah} \synchronizeoutput
this will force the otr but is not always fails safe (i.e. vertical
spacing may be messed)
... one of the reasons why we work on luatex -)
