well, i could store the old prevgraf (of make that an option) but it's a 
fact that a top of page is basically a change (in prevgraf and prevdepth)


what do you use prevgraf for?

[NTG-context] prevgraf change if page break occurs in a paragraph

2018-03-04 Thread Joseph Canedo
Hello,

I am aware that ConTeXt betas might use experimental luaTeX changes (I use both 
stable and latest and run both), just wanted to report a change in prevgraf 
result. Apparently with latest beta it reports the number of lines in last page 
of paragraph (only tested with pars on 2 pages maximum, haven’t tried longer 
ones). Simple MWE reproduces the case:

\starttext

\dorecurse{15}{
A\\ B\\ C\\ D\\ E\\ F\\ G\\ H\\ I\\ J\\ K\\ L \\M\\ N.

\the\prevgraf

}

\stoptext

Using ConTeXt online always reports « 14 » after the letters, latest ConTeXt 
reports different numbers if the par before it has been split in 2 pages.

Thanks

Joseph

[NTG-context] steps module

2018-03-04 Thread John Kitzmiller


Adjust shading and outline of cells and text in steps module, or not  
available as written?


Something like \startSTEPtable[frame=off], etc.

I have grabbed the code to modify for local input, but I have made a  
terrible mess of it!

I (can) run several "results" for most of my projects, e.g. lowres,

But I insist it makes no sense that (epub) export breaks image
placement in the pdf. Why add another lengthy TeX run?


Because when one really wants a proper structured file from a source one 
should also to some respect adapt the style for that run.


Also, 'lengthy tex run' is no argument (most of my tex runs are not that 
slow ... it also depends on the efficiency of styling) ... and when 
working on a document i'd never generate an export every run (as the 
export itself adds 20% overhead!) ... if i care about an export at all, 
it's an extra run in a workflow (idem for other products).



the more features we add to mtxrun the more complex it will become
(and no one will use them then)


Hans, please, it’s not about adding features, it’s about an existing
feature that unnecessarily influences/disables an other.


In this case it's disabled because the result is a garbled export and 
you don't want that either do you? We need to play safe. I might spent 
time on if some customer would demand it and pay for it but i never ran 
into a customer who had any demand for export (of advanced pdf).



I do this (--mode=export --result=exported) and find it somewhat
awkward. I also do not understand why one should not/cannot export
systematically, thus creating multiple output, nor do I "really"
understand why exporting *has* to break the floats (and what else?).


The export is a structured export so one one has to handle rendering 
(and float placement) in a css or wherever .. turning rendered side 
float placement into something export is asking for troubles (as lots of 
- also out of sequence - shifting around etc happen, e.g they can end up 
in the margin in which case flushing happens completely different) and i 
don't look forward to a decade of answering why this or that doesn't 
work out as expected (the same is true for tables and itemize and ... : 
you get the structure as good as possible from what is basically a 
reverse engineered rendering) ... so, instead you should wonder why the 
export works at all



As a result, this is a *feature* (export) that I can but rarely use.
Normally one will have a neutrally encoded source that can become 
anything you want.


Basically the export is a side effect of tagged pdf which is also a 
lunatic feature only in pdf because publishers don't want to distribute 
a proper source which would be way more powerful to re-render and as 
said i never had to produce either tagged of exported content myself 
(which would then give me feedback about what could be done better).


Btw, try to reverse engineer a realistic picture of your house from an 
abstract painting of that same house ...

Hans, please, it’s not about adding features, it’s about an existing feature

\stopmode

and then run with `--mode=export` to get the export and without that

And, unfortunately, this "breaks" the PDF. Of course, one can always
