something has changed in the mapfile loading from lua.

[NTG-context] Splitting a page in given ratios
Dear all,
this is probably even easy in plain TeX, but as I have never learned
it properly,
I am asking anyway:
I would like to have a way to split a part of a page into two columns
of different width, so something like
\startsplitpage[columns=2,spacing=fill]
\startcolumn[1][width=.6 \textwidth]
\input{tufte}
\stopcolumn[1]
\startcolumn[2][width=.3 \textwidth]
\placefigure[theBeerBottle]
\stopcolumn[2]
\stopsplitpage
so that the individual columns are treated (if possible) as separate
pages with all features (like \framed etc) adapted to the
page width of the smaller sub-pages.
This could replace (for me) the somehow (for me) disfunctional
figuretext construct.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Matthias

Hello ConTeXt gurus,
as a newbie I checked the example from "ConTeXt an excursion"
page 11 ("Hasselt makes headlines"). The manual says:
use "textstyle=cap" to format a chapter's head in capitals.
Short story:the manual lies ;-) The sample does not work (at least in Mk II)
Longer story: Sample works, when using ConTeXt Mk IV
Even longer story: Being curious, I wanted to learn how the page 11 in
the manual actually was typeset. I downloaded all the available sources from
the pragma web-site. and found out: the source code does not even use
"textstyle=cap". Instead it uses "textstyle=bold". Manual and available source
apparently do not match. Nothing to learn here...
Ok, now for my questions:
1) Is it a Mk IV feature not working in Mk II ?
2) Is it a bug?
3) Is there a way, I can tell (1) and (2) apart?
The internals have changed and as a result 'textstyle=cap'
does no longer work but you can get the same result with:
%\setuphead[section][textstyle=\tfb,deeptextcommand=\cap]
\setuphead[section][deeptextcommand=\WORD]
\starttext
\section{Am I capped?}

Using the latest version from thr garden/CTAN/minimals won't help because

What you can do is upgrade to TeXLive 2009 or install the ConTeXt minimals.

[NTG-context] Metafun in MacTeX 209 distribution
Hello people,
I installed Mac TeX -2009 Distribution on a new iMAC.
when I try to run texexec on a Context file that includes a metapost program,
I receive no picture that is defined in metapost part.
(btw in my linux installation it works)
What I can find in log file is:
...
runsystem(texmfstart texexec --batch --output=dvips --mpformat=metafun --mptex
--nomp --once obrazek-mpgraph)...disabled.
...
Running this sequence manually and reruning the 1st texexec I receive what I
expect.
Is it a feature of Mac distribution or there is a mismatch in some
file/directory permissions? (mptopfd, ...)
Are there another installation steps needed after fresh MacTeX installation?
the test file is:
\startuseMPgraphic{def}
...
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startuseMPgraphic{obr30}
\includeMPgraphic{def}
...
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
test

the problem with \type is that it adapts catcodes and therefore it goes
ok in the text
we used to stringify the first token but that's now always ok either
now, in mkii all captions titlles etc end up unexpanded in the tui/o
file and in principle that should also happen in mkiv (depends on the
style)
in mkiv things are more complex as much more info travels around; there
we also keep track of catcode states and such
i need to look into this case but for the moment made the \setuptables
command unexpanded which is a good idea for any command that can make
troubles

4. Notice the overprinting near the top of p.2 c.1. That is a

Here is a minimal example (no page setup, font setup, or styles needed

\startcolumns
\input knuth
\input tufte
\column
\input tufte
\inmargin{This is in wrong margin}
\input knuth

The marin note in 2nd column is displayed in the 1st column. This is
artifact of the way in which TeX constructs columns: first creating a
long and narrow page and then splitting it into two. I don't know at
what stage of the OTR are margin notes inserted, and if there is a
workaround. Maybe others can help.
this is the first time someone needs it so indeed there is no mechamism
it's not that complex to deal with it (but i'd only do it in mkiv) gien
time and motivation ... you can put a feature request in the tracker so
that i can look at it when i'm reworking marging notes the mkiv way

It is not just a matter of typesetting the thesis in ConTeXt---ConTeXt is a subject of study.

It is like Ruby on Rails: "convention over configuration." No thank you, I'm not looking for a thesis that looks like an AMS paper, and no matter how hard ConTeXt can be to start learning, my money is that hacking LaTeX to make it look the way I want is much much more difficult. The thesis also has to target both electronic and print PDFs. There is just nothing LaTeX offers me besides a poorly designed (imo) system that will take as much time, if not more, to learn how to customize to my liking than ConTeXt. > And please, *do* read the TeXbook - it's so much fun!

Oupss! You are right.
I did use an uncorrected version of my source.
Sorry for taking time for my fault.
Actually, my (latest) context beta still does this wrong also,
so I don't think you need to apologize.
