[NTG-context] ConTeXt meeting Lua tutorials
Hi all, Today I started preparations for my activities at the ConTeXt meeting. There are two small lua tutorials in the program, and I am looking for input on both. There is one that is supposed to be a general beginner's introduction, and one specifically about fonts. For both, I am looking for input on what subjects I should cover? Since both tutorials will end up as articles/wiki pages, it makes sense to ask everybody on the list for input (but requests by actual attendees will be scored considerably higher).

Re: [NTG-context] Adding supplemental information to entry in list of figures

Hi all,
\nolist{}, I understand, is used in headings and presumably in captions
as well to exclude parts of the heading / caption from the automatically
generated list of contents or floats. Now, my question is what the
canonical way would be to add information to an entry in a list of
figures that doesn't appear in the caption to that figure; indeed, it
might be desirable sometimes to specify the entry in the list of figures
independently of the caption, very much like the LaTeX command
\caption[entry text]{caption text} does.
for sectioning it's
\startchapter[title=aa,bookmark=bb,list=cc,marking=dd]
...
\stopchapter
or in the latest beta
\chapter[title=aa,bookmark=bb,list=cc,marking=dd]
but for figures etc I haven't done that yet (no big deal as the only
thing needed is the interface)

Re: [NTG-context] textext vs. btex ... etex
so, if in mkiv you want pieces, you need to textext each snippet that you want as such Alright... in that case how would I make sure that all glyph positions are kept if my TeX material is, say, some complex formula? How could I find the baseline with textext? see mp.mplib for all those anchor points OK. I found in mp-mplib.mp that rawtextext() does what I was looking for... the baseline is anchored to the current point: --- \setupbodyfont[10pt] \starttext \startMPinclusions pickup pencircle scaled 0.05pt; defaultpen := savepen; picture crosshair; crosshair := image(draw fullcircle scaled 2pt; draw (0,-2pt)--(0,2pt); draw (-2pt,0)--(2pt,0); ); bboxmargin := 0; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage for item within rawtextext($(h,g)$): draw bbox item withcolor 0.8white; draw item; endfor; draw crosshair; \stopMPpage \stoptext --- This solves step one! Now onto step two: how can I typeset each glyph in the formula individually such that it appears precisely in the right location?

Re: [NTG-context] Typeface - simple example
Hi, finally I figured it out :-) I entered the working example into the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Typescript_Example and linked it into the catogory »Fonts« and at the page »Fonts in LuaTeX« under »2.2.3 Very simple example of typescript«. You know the best where to link it inside your wiki so feel free to change it if you think. Maybe the title also should be changed into »Simple Typescript / Typeface Example«. Hope it will helps other.

It is hard to say without more information. You appear to have a /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex directory. I suspect this directory was created erroneously when making formats, in which case it would contain .fmt and .log files. This may mean that one of the tools used to generate formats has a bug -- perhaps only triggered when run using the root account, which is usually disabled on ubuntu, but this is only conjecture. If you have current hardware with ample disk and RAM you could probably sort out the problem by installing a fresh Ubuntu in a VM, repeating the steps you took to get into this unhappy state but checking after each step to figure out exactly when the configuration goes astray. You can also experiment with various repair strategies to see what works before trying to repair your main installation. I actually tried this, and was not able to cause context to fail. Using sudo luatools --generate results in cache files that are owned by root but still readable by a regular user. Running luatools, fmtutil, etc. from root still didn't produce /etc/texmf/web2c/pdftex so I'm at a loss to figure out how that could happen. It would be nice to know how it happened so steps can be taken to prevent others from ending up in the same predicament. -- George N.
