[NTG-context] Luatex crash with x86-64 Linux binary
Hi, I am running the latest minimals on a 64bit Linux system and ran into a luatex crash with a specific file. I reduced the file down to a simpler version that still triggers the crash, and thought it would be of some interest to post (the resulting pdf, if generated, will be ugly since I removed a lot of formatting, and some of the code in the file may appear extraneous). I am running: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | current version: 2012.09.06 23:03 $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052410 (TeX Live 2012) What I think makes this interesting is the same file does not crash on three other setups I tested: - 32bit OS X (beta-0.70.2-2012052310) - 64bit OS X (beta-0.70.2-2012052309) - the same Linux system, but I replaced the 64bit Linux luatex binary with the 32bit Linux binary (beta-0.70.1-2012052416 (rev 4277), I see this is an older version but I downloaded directly from the minimals site today). It rebuilt caches and processed the file successfully. I updated minimals on both OS X systems today so all three systems should be otherwise identically configured. Various alterations to the file can avoid the crash; a few I found are---adding a \strut before the word jumbo, removing the nested bTABLE (this appears to be unneeded in the attached example), removing the \definefontfeature statement at the top of the file. Anyway I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees the same issue. I'm sure this is a real edge case error but hope it is helpful to track down the problem. Please let me know if there is any other debugging info you would like to see from my end.

I thought the reason was TeX itself. I just had some hope that ConTeXt would "fix" this behavior some how. Since ConTeXt allows one to have products and contents relatively independent from the project itself, I thought that it would make sense to have the references to files independent from the project structure as well.

[NTG-context] Problem with *lettrine* module in Mk-iv
I am making my first steps in ConTeXt. I am only interested in Mk-iv and am using version 2012.09.06 23:03. I tried to explore the possibilities of the additional module *lettrine* following its documentation (*lettrine-doc.pdf*) and prepared the following example, which reproduces almost exactly the first one found in that text: \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine {T}{he two} typeset arguments are the dropped capital and the run-in text following it; the \TeX\ source of this paragraph started with \starttyping "\usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine{T}{he two} …" \stoptyping … \stoptext When I typeset it with ConTeXt, the result was not what the documentation showed. The initial capital was fine and so was the rest of the first line, but the second line was blank and the regular text continued at the third and following lines. This was with the default value of 2 lines as size for the capital. If one indicates a greater number of lines, all of them but the first one are blank and the regular text continues after all that whitespace. As I was not completely sure that my installation of ConTeXt was unobjectable, I tried to typeset the example in *ConTeXt online* (http://live.contextgarden.net/). There the option to use *LuaTex / Mark-iv* is not offered (!!??), so I selected the *pdfTex* alternative and then it happened that everything behaved as expected (at least in the first part of the example, as some of the following commands seem not to be understood by *pdfTex*). My conclusion is that *lettrine* does not work correctly with Mark-iv and there is somewhere a bug that has to be corrected. But I could be mistaken. Am I doing something wrongly?

[NTG-context] Passing variables on invocation- and reading them in ConTEXt
A feeble request from me, again. I'd like to pass variables into context on invocation, just as you can do with setting modes So context --arguments="number=8", "time=full-time" --mode=trial test.tex And have the values of the variables show up in the body of the text, so: \starttext Hello world % This is \getvariables{arguments}{number} it. % this does not work - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is 8. % This is \getvariables{arguments}{time} it. % Nor does this - what do I need here to write out the next line? This is full-time. \stoptext As ever, I've trawled the manuals and wiki and archive emails (which is where the construct --arguments="number=8" came from.)

[NTG-context] pre-stepwise / current
dear all, I’m trying to build a stepwise presentation, but the following minimal example (got it from the ML[1]) produces an error: ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.06 23:03 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.9 … !LuaTeX error: There should have been a lua here, not an object with type string! The example compiles with standalone 2012.06.13 while it is broken from 2012.07.27 onwards. Is the stepper-module no longer supported?

Re: [NTG-context] Search path.
On 10-9-2012 04:45, Andre Caldas wrote: Hello, list! I am really new to ConTeXt. I am writing a book http://topologia-geral.ourproject.org/ It is written in LaTeX and I intend to migrate it to ConTeXt. I want to migrate and I want to be as far from HACKS as I can. So I want to know the recommended way to do things. One of my first difficulties comes from the "search path" used by texexec. It seems to me that the path searched for components, products and environments depends on the path were the script was called from. That is, it depends on the "current working directory". My question (honestly) is: - Why would I want this behavior? When I write a project, product, component or environment file, why would I want the references I made to be dependent on the directory where the script was called? Shouldn't things be like the #include "relative_path.h" used in the C language, for example? That is, shouldn't those paths be relative to the script that refers to them? Am I missing something? The way tex (and its path) are set up is that files are looked up on the current path (.) or relative to it, or in the (tds compliant) tex tree. Auxiliary files are created in the current directory. One can hardcode a path in the tex source if needed. Another option is to move to the source path (something texmfstart --path ... texexec ... or mtxrun --path ... --script context ...) but what's best depends on the kind of project. Do you really need to use context mkii? As it's a new project, using context mkiv might be a better idea.
