[NTG-context] Feynman Diagrams
Hi List, I’m looking for a way to include Feynman diagrams in my ConTeXt documents. I’ve used feynMF/feynMP and TikZ-feynman with LaTeX in the past, but it doesn’t look like either works directly with ConTeXt. My diagrams are pretty basic (example below). Does anyone have a ConTeXt solution they like? If not, I’ll add it to my list of summer MetaPost projects. Thanks!

Didn't have the time to look at et . Looking at a small display on this system and sort of like going blind . Regarding old mkiv, I didn't have the time to delve more into it, but I think (couuld be wrong here) The script installation first-setup for that old mkiv is not as straightforward as lmtx is, and to top it off I had downloaded the modules only With the former I had to manually create the dir temxf-linux-64 whereas with lmtx installation was smooth right after that's why when I read the resolvers output I had pointed it out to Aditya that it was looking over and over for that dir to no avail (of course: the dir was never there; it was never created) Path is always a problem as you know. On gnu/linux bash init file means nothing, as most likely a profile file that supersedes it sets it up regardless of sessions and how many times logging off and rebooting , but the problem woudlnt' stop there as long as texmf is there I can probably venture out and say that even then, even then… it doesn't mean nothing while texmf is still there . what is mtxrun --script cache going to erase let alone /generate while texmf is in place? the chances are nil, nada, iteración infinita It's not going to happen. and an unknown script context.lua mtx-context.lua will certainly pop up all over again only after moving/removing texmf it'd go through or else it won't . then yes context --luatex --generate context --luatex --make or context --make p.s and all of the above over a lucida sans that was my own misconfiguration that's hilarious :) Hans. sorry but I just couldn't stop thinking about it.

Re: [NTG-context] Help with typesetting footnotes in an HTML document
Fair comment Denis. I decided to try the lookup based approach on pages 85 - 86 of the xml manual and my setups are based on those pages. I have to admit that I find the xml manual a wee bit difficult in places since xml is outside my expertise. I attach my tex and html files which should save some copy and pasting.

Re: [NTG-context] Software upgrade for ntg and contextgarden server 6 April
Hi, So … the server now runs Ubuntu 22.04. Jay! This was a much harder upgrade though. Various things were wrong, and are likely still a bit wrong in places. Robbert had to rescue the network configuration that went missing completely after the upgrade (requiring a trip to the data center). Various packages have been discontinued by our linux distribution, including the version of the mailing list software that we use (so that had to be installed manually). The new version of php is much stricter than the old version (so some website hacks were also needed). Et cetera. It has been a “process” ... The basic functionality appears to be back online, although the web interface to the mailing lists does not work yet (we will try to fix that tomorrow). But there are likely to be small problems with other services still. Please *do* let me know if you notice something odd! In any case, today was the last of the big software update procedures (at least for the next year or so).

For clarification, Do you mean the file that consists of
-- the distributed file (.../texlive//texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua).
-- And include *only* your changed values, not a copy of the whole thing!
return {
content = {
variables = {
},
},
}
and belongs to TeX Live?

alright. That's fine. That's what I thought.
So copy over the mtxrun binary on texmf-linux-64/bin to context and call it a
day?

Hello Alan, my PATH is set to:
PATH=/home/ce/context-install/bin:/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH;
export PATH
because not by going by TeX Live infrastructure only, but rather
by standalone resolvers that's exactly what the additional steps to
install that very same standalone required, a folder
texmf-linux-64/bin, which it's pretty much self-explanatory
And I already mentioned the above earlier
Again
Do we actually need to list all kpsea variable here ?? fine

Then again, remember in the current state I actually don't have
texmfcnf.lua for the simple reason that first-setup.sh never provided
it, correct?
So, wwith that in mind and in place, even that context binary from TeX
Live infrastructure as shown before is a known fact that texmfcnf.lua
is nowhere to be found
So let me see if I can copy one from an otherwise fully functional TeX Live
with almost 5g of space taken over and copy it over to this TeX Live
infrastrcutre so
everything checks out in the end
What happens then is not really surprising
If I were to copy over a copy that I found elsewhere over to web2c
of the TeX Live-infrastructure-only installation, this is what happens:
$ context --generate --luatex
mtxrun | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'
Here we go! Back to point A where we were at before

That # line will go away or change because per 2023 we assume that the script is run by luametatex and we're in a sort of transition This is is circa 21st century ladies and gentlemen! And tex survived more that 4 decades so ... it operates in an eco system (tds, installations) ... todays fashion is not yesterdays and tomorrows so I thought, alright, since there seems ot be a a problem with texlua, let's also add it to path somehow. i'm not sure what you installed but the stand alone installer installs luametatex / luatex and therefore has luametatex mtxrun -> luametatex context -> luametatex mtxrun.lua context.lua in the same path (the links are stubs, not uncommon in the tex world where they are also used to launch macro packages like latex) it can't be more portable and simple than that, is efficient and works ok unless one wants some different setup, and spend time on that So with that out of the way, we'll move on to the next step and change to a directory and try to call out mtxrun --generate again It returns: > ... But this is the catch. I don't have texmfcnf.lua anymore . Not on the TeX Live installation anyway if that might've ever materialize as a question maybe that was not copied? the fact that we need a configuration and file database is also pretty much the way a tex installation works (with allits resources) If I were to invoke an mtxrun --script cache --erase Of course and going solely by the above the part whenever it says resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/ce/context/bin/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf/web2c' wont' find it anywhere because that dir does not exist. should be there with the installer; if one just installs the 'zip' it has to come from elsewhere (like texlive, where actually most lives in texmf-dist) and one has to copy a configuration file to there But remember that earlier, adding bin to path was necessary to avoid /usr/bin/env texlua no such file or directory message But even now while trying to find plain.tex I've come to the conclusion that it needs it or else fails altogether The problem is that I don't have plain.tex though. As a matter of fact the TeX Live installation I currently have, plain tex is nowhere to be seen, heck, not even latex but only a handful set of fmtutil fmtuitl-sys mktexfmt and updmap updmap-sys and the whole remainder of kpathsea but then again this in practice would not even be needed if at all. indeed, context doesn't rely on fmtutil etc In other words, only the TeX Live infrastructure needed which shouldn't be a problem, right? But itis: a problem that is. Besides. The reason I mentioned it is only to serve reference material , but that's it. to recap, mtxrun looks for a texmfcnf.lua (which I don't have) and also for a plain.tex which I don't have either, and also presumably for a contextcnf.lua (which I have) but the script concept is not so smart, and finishes off with a final note that says warning: no lua configuration files found. No shit Sherlock! Of course it can't find it, because it doesn't exist, resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/home/ce/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' But at this point and without sugar coating it, the standalone installation of context proves to be a chore more problematic than waiting to install over 5gb of TeX Live alone. hm, worked for quite a while for users; and did you try oen from https://www.pragma-ade.com/install.htm The only thing that the installation instructions got right from the start was the part about running the script with all modules. I'll probably… and eventually will try to install the whole TeX Live. But going solely by what the current TeX Live on my machine looks like, , with just the infrastcucture, while anything mtx was dropped like a hot potato really, it's a predicament... not sure what you mean here .. mtxrun was not dropped, tl 2313 just moved on to lmtx which is even less demanding (unless one starts moveing files around in the tex infrastruture and then expects stuff to keep working) -- Systems programmers are the high priests of a low cult. -- R.S. Barton dunno, don't know any of them -- Real computer scientists don't write code.
