Re: [NTG-context] Updating to Beta Builds of ConTeXt / LuaTeX from tlcontrib breaks MacTeX
First off, let me say that you all are the nicest set of developers and project team members I have ever seen! If I had asked our developers about an issue in an alpha build, they would have told me where to go while raising a particular finger in an effort to say what, I think, is something like, "You're #1!" I appreciate the offer to roll back a build, but please! This is how this all goes, right? Anyway, following the instructions on the tlcontrib.metatex.org (or a link from there) for restoring the "stable" versions, I got the fabulous "/usr/texbin/mtxrun:9359: attempt to concatenate local 'v' (a table value)" on every ConTeXt command that I tried. Lacking the appetite (and time) to go much further, I tried forcing the uninstall of everything and then I reinstalled everything using tlmgr. It all seemed to go whll, but still no avail. After restoring from tlcontrib and getting only back to nowhere, I just nuked it all and am reinstalling. I'm happy to try again, if you all would think I have a better than... oh... 30% chance of not having to nuke another time. If not, my next stop is the rsync method. After that, I may have to return, hat in hand, to LaTeX and check back with you guys in a month or so, just to see where MacTeX support is at. BTW: I really like this community and I very much like both what ConTeXt and LuaTeX have to offer. In my spare time (-4 hours a day or so, more if I take my meds), I'd be happy to contribute. I'm much more of a hack and know next to nothing about bare TeX, although I feel as though I've done the impossible with my own set of macros. I may be able to take on some documentation tasks and I also fancy myself a better-than-average beta tester: not bitchy, test everything all of the way through, report everything, patient, etc. If all-ya-all want to point me at something that is in need of such activity, I'd be happy to look at it. I may just see what can be added to ConTeXt Garden, but it's hard to know where to start, what's obsolete, what's good but incomplete, and what's entirely absent. I would need more time actually using it to truly help, unless someone were to give me instruction.

[NTG-context] Stepping mechanism in MkIV
Hi Hans, The current stepping mechanism (s-pre-60) is not too convinient because you have to click the screen to go to next screen. It will be nice if one could go to next screen using page down (and to previous screen using page up). Another annoyance is that it only works with acroread and does not work with evince (I don't know how well it works with preview). Are there any plans to have a mkiv based stepping mechanism? If so, it will be nice to have an option to be able to create multiple pages, one for each step.

You don't need JavaScript. You can use a normal hyperlink:
[page /FitR left bottom right top]
I hope that I do not have to write raw PDF literals.
Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just
enough to fit the rectangle specified by the coordinates left, bottom,
right, and top entirely within the window both horizontally and
vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification
factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the
rectangle within the window in the other dimension.

Thanks.
You only need to find a way to transfer the data from nice interface
in ConTeXt into PDF literals.
I don't know if this data is available when a figure is being placed. At
the very least, I need to know the xy location of one of the corners of
the figure (and can compute other corners based on height and width)
PS: in case that you start hacking with that, please also convince
Hans to fix hyperlinks in formulas/chapters/tables/... (see equation
\in[eq:formulalabel]) to point to specific location on some page, not
to the whole page.
I thought that you were the most persuasive person :) This has been around
for a while. Maybe we should open a tracker item for it.

the screen aspect ratio is the same as the page aspect ratio might be a
good approximation (at least for presentations).

Re: [NTG-context] Updating to Beta Builds of ConTeXt / LuaTeX from tlcontrib breaks MacTeX
Dear Andrew,
Sorry for top-posting, just a few remarks:
- I don't see anything basically wrong with your procedure.
- I didn't try it yet, but after Taco released luatex 0.64.0 somebody
already pointed out that the "current" version of ConTeXt is not
compatible with the latest version of LuaTeX. I can roll back the
luatex packages on tlcontrib if needed, but I would prefer to wait for
Taco's response. (He needs to approve any change anyway.) So it might
be that any trouble you experience is a sole consequence of that
incompatibility. But I didn't check anything yet.
- luatools doesn't make much sense in post-TL-2010. It has been
replaced by mtxrun entirely. I thought that luatools would still work
the same way as mtxrun though ... but maybe mtxrun has the same
symptoms.
- Does it help if you replace "~" with "/Users/yourname" in
texmfcnf.lua? During the ConTeXt conference (and that was more recent
than the current version of ConTeXt) the tilde didn't expand properly
in some cases and I'm still not sure if it works flawlessly now.
- You may also try to install ConTeXt minimals in parallel:
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
./first-setup.sh
. tex/setuptex

Layers or overlays are certainly the right method. But there is also the

Here is a complete working and tested example:
\definelayer[textbox][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=textbox]
\def\starttextbox
{\dosingleargument\dostarttextbox}
\def\dostarttextbox[#1]%
{\def\stoptextbox{\setlayerframed[textbox][width=6cm,align=normal,frame=off,#1]{\getbuffer[textbox]}}%
\startbuffer[textbox][starttextbox][stoptextbox]}
\starttext
\starttextbox[x=2cm,y=4cm]
The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and
has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening
whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is
like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs
of cigarettes per day – and we humans are the cigarettes.
\stoptextbox
\starttextbox[x=6cm,y=12cm,width=8cm]
Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new
system must not only be the implementer and first
large-scale user; the designer should also write the first
user manual.
The separation of any of these four components would have
hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in
all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements
would never have been made, because I would never have
thought of them or perceived why they were important.
But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly
influenced by a single person. Once the initial design is
complete and fairly robust, the real test begins as people
with many different viewpoints undertake their own
experiments.

Layers or overlays are certainly the right method. But there is also the
\position macro:
\setupframed[foregroundstyle=\bfc]
\setuppositioning[state=overlay, unit=cm, xoffset=0.5\textwidth,
yoffset=0.5\textheight]
\starttext
\startpositioning
\position(0,0){\framed{0,0}}
\position(-5,-5){\framed{-5,-5}}
\position(-5,5){\framed{-5,5}}
\position(5,-5){\framed{5,-5}}
\position(5,5){\framed{5,5}}
\stoppositioning

[NTG-context] definition and separation of colors
I stumpled upon a ambiguous color definition in my automatically generated documents: \definecolor[Custom][c=0,m=1,y=0,k=0,r=0,g=0,b=0,] I.e. the color is defined in CMYK mode as 100% magenta and in RGB as 0/0/0 black. In the PDF the color is shown as black, according to Acrobat's preflight defined as RGB 0/0/0; CMYK separation depends on the profile, e.g.: Generic CMYK:76/71/65/81 ISO Coated FOGRA27: 86/85/79/100 Euroscale Coated:95/83/82/90 (I didn't expect the Euroscale Coated profiles to differ that much!) If I say \setupcolors[rgb=no], I get CMYK 100/100/100/0. This is not a good separation algorithm - GCR or UCR would be nice, but at least RGB 0/0/0 should render as CMYK 0/0/0/100. (Perhaps you could include something like littleCMS in LuaTeX and even deal with images?) It doesn't change if I define in different order, like \definecolor[Custom][r=0,g=0,b=0,c=0,m=1,y=0,k=0,] I get magenta only if I leave out the RGB values. It seems that in ConTeXt the RGB definition always takes precedence? Is this intended? Greetlings from Lake Constance!

[NTG-context] Placing boxes anywhere on the page
Is there a way to place a box at some specified x and y position on the page, and then typeset one or more paragraphs of text into the box? I guess I'm thinking of something like LaTeX's minipage, but with the ability to specify absolute coordinates, rather than just position relative to the current baseline.

[NTG-context] Updating to Beta Builds of ConTeXt / LuaTeX from tlcontrib breaks MacTeX
At Aditya's suggestion, I'm cross-posting this from tex.stackexchange.com
[Executive Summary:
I might be missing something really simple and I might be
overcomplicating something really easy. In short:
1: I installed MacTeX 2010.
2: I updated all packages using the normal trees.
3: I changed my TEXMFHOME variable in
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf.cnf to "~/src/texmf", which is where I
keep my custom modules/templates/packages. (This is normally within
our github source control, but hasn't been yet.) and moved the content
from the old directory to the new.
4: I was beating my head against the wall, trying to make font
selection work using typescriptfile/typescript as well as simplefont.
The closest I could get was with simplefont and Palatino spewing
garbage text.
5: I decided to try "http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/"; with tlmgr using
"sudo tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 update
-all"
6: I "sudo texconfig rehash"ed (seemed okay), "sudo mtxrun --generate"
(seemed okay). Then I "sudo luatools --generate" and got something
that ended with " MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or
'mtx-base.lua'"
7: Just typing "luatools" results in: "MTXrun | unknown script
'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'"
8: I tried editing the two texmfcnf.lua files that I found with:
return {
content = {
TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var',
TEXMFHOME = '~/src/texmf-trms',
},
TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var',
}
But had no effect.
That is where I'm at right now. Whenever I try to compile, I get:
MTXrun | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline driven)
MTXrun | running command: luatools --generate
MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
MTXrun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en
MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting
MTXrun | total runtime: 0.321
The rest of this email is a more verbose description. Hopefully this
helps you and me, as well. (if only in the documentation department.
:))
] /endexecutive summary %:)
Copied then updated from:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5454/updating-to-beta-builds-of-context-luatex-from-tlcontrib-breaks-mactex
On a fresh install of MacTeX 2010, I was having issues with `mtxrun`
finding fonts and with fonts in general.
I decided to try to dl the betas. In an earlier
question(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5405/switching-to-context-minimals-missing-last-step-for-mactex-2010
(Thanks Kahled!) I found that the ConTeXt minimals were not proper in
this scenario.
So I followed the advice and used this repository. After running:
sudo tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 update -all
...I did everything that I could think of to update the system at
various stages (I'm sure not everything was neutral or helpful)...
sudo texconfig rehash
sudo texconfig init
sudo mtxrun --generate
sudo luatools --generate
The last command is the issue, as it generates:
MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
In my search on the interweb, I found that perhaps `texmfcnf.lua`
needed the following:
return {
content = {
TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var',
TEXMFHOME = '~/Library/texmf-trms',
},
TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var',
}
I did this to the file that I located in `/usr/local/texlive/2010/`. I
later found evidence that perhaps another `texmfcnf.lua` file needed
this golden block of code, but I could not find another instance of
this file.
So... whassup? It's a clean install if MacTeX 2010. I wonder what I'm missing.
Once this is solved, I'll post another question about fonts, as I have
yet to get those working with LuaTeX as the engine and `simplefonts`
as the method. `mtxrun` never has anything in its list of fonts
(`mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*` or any conceivable
variation) and most font choices don't register at all, or in the odd
case of Palatino, result in garbage text. I have my `OSFONTS` variable
set to `/Library/Fonts`. But alas, for another question. I only post
it here in case the two issues are related.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE:
I ran `sudo luatex --generate --verbose`
Here is the output:
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to

Hi,
the current MkIV (ConTeXt ver: 2010.11.12) seems to have problems
with start/stopitemize and start/stopcolumns:
mostly it hangs at 100% cpu, sometimes it gives this error massage:

... I encountered partial success:

\chapter{3}{AAA} % Gives "3. AAA", that's OK

So it seems I'd need to reset an internal counter... The question remains.

Hello,
I'd need to start numbering chapters from number 3.
(The previous chapters 1 and 2 were prepared otherwise, I'm to continue.)
Is any parameter mentioned on

Or how?
