[NTG-context] Blank line after \item: MkIV vs LMTX and how to properly get rid of it
Hello.
Consider the following small example:
8< --
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item \input tufte
\item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}%
\input tufte
\item \blank[overlay]%
\placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}%
\input tufte
\stopitemize
\startitemize[n,intext]
\item \input tufte
\item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}%
\input tufte
\item \blank[overlay]%
\placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}%
\input tufte
\stopitemize
\stoptext
8< --
I see a difference in MkIV and LMTX work:
- MkIV always put a blank line despite '\blank[overlay]' command;
- with \blank[overlay] and 'intext' option LMTX clutters item label (number in
this case).
Q1: is this the expected behavior for MkIV and LMTX? I found a recipe with
\blank[overlay] in the mailing list.
Q2: is it expected that LMTX will clutter item label when I use
\blank[overlay]? I suspect the answer is "yes" due to the option name.
Q3: how to prevent blank line insertion in such case: an item with text
framing a picture (on right side or on left side but the picture is below
the item label)?

Re: [NTG-context] How do I add cyrillic to my typescript/document?
m than ConTeXt one but I don't use ConTeXt as often as LaTeX. If I understand correctly, fallback mechanism allows to use some "main" font for most of letters in a document, for example, for Latin letters and use another font, if some letters are missing from "main" one. The "missing" is based on letters codes, see "range" above. Your original question is a bit unclear to me. Do you want typeset document with Cyrillic letters, for example Russian text or just want to include some words using Cyrillic (Russian) letters? The former assumes that you will use \mainlanguage[ru] and appropriate font with Cyrillic glyphs, while for the latter you need only the font. I'm not a Mac OS user neither I have Optima nor Helvetica fonts, but Computer Modern Unicode (OTF) and OldStandard (OTF) have both Cyrillic and Latin letters (OldStandard doesn't have support "out of box" in context while Computer Modern Unicode has) so I made two small examples (well, the first example not so small, sometimes I prepare example not only for others but for myself too) which show both uses. Both fonts can be found on ctan: https://ctan.org/pkg/cm-unicode and https://ctan.org/pkg/oldstandard. > G --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Girls marry for love.

I think Henning Hraban Ramm meant not OS font cache (but may be including it,
I'm not a Mac OS user) but context font cache. Run
$ mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force
and try above '--list --all ...' command again and your example:

What do you mean "work" and "not work"?
Do you what to open a file by clicking on text in viewer? What application
should be used to open a file? Take a look on page I linked in previous
message.
> The PDF Viewer does not support the file type.
What "PDF Viewer"?
For example, I use different viewers: mupdf, zathura-pdf-mupdf (zathura with
mupdf pdf backend), okular, pdf-tools (emacs major mode). Some of application
(okular, for example) could preview many file types (ps, pdf, odt), while
other can't do that. It is up to application what to do (or actually, PDF
backend) on link.
Please see the page about '\goto' command, it was written for a reason!

You have a problem here (aside from broken formatting). The 'mtxrun' didn't
find necessary files, take a look on last part of output.
I have installed LMTX (Luametatex) into /usr/local/opt/lmtx as root and
/usr/local/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-cache is owned by root. If I delete the "root"
cache and "user" cache and run 'mtxrun --generate' as root at first I see at
bottom of 'mtxrun' output:

I would suggest you to reinstall lmtx, update PATH, correctly set OSFONTDIR

This message tells that something wrong with your settings (I assume the
spaces in above strings are side effect of mail system). The 'cons'
function that you use allows to add only one element to a list (see
Emacs Lisp documentation). I'm not familiar very well with Emacs Lisp
but tested a bit and think this should work:
8<
(eval-after-load "context"
'(setq TeX-command-list
(append
'(
("ConTeXt" "PATH=...:$PATH context --purgeall %s"
TeX-run-command nil t :help "Run context (MarkIV)")
("LMTX""PATH=...:$PATH context --purgeall %s"
TeX-run-command t t :help "Run context (LMTX)")
) TeX-command-list
)
)
)
8<
I'm not absolutely sure about 'TeX-run-command' (code of AUCTeX uses
'TeX-run-TeX' for TeX stuff). You may test and use 'TeX-run-TeX' instead
of 'TeX-run-command'. Also you may change the 'nil t' to 't
(context-mode)' if you what to edit (expanded) string and only want to
see these entries for buffers set in 'context' mode.
And please check the binary name and it's location (I didn't play with
LMTX yet).

Does Emacs prints error messages? How do you run the command in Emacs?
Do you use AUCTeX or not? What messages do you see in *Messages* buffer?

The above lines do opposite: they append path to context binary to the end of PATH list. The first line, 'source ...', helps here because 'setuptex' in turns prepend path to context binary to PATH. When you invoke 'context' in terminal (I assume it is bash shell) the shell searches program in current directory (depends on configuration) and then in PATH, the first wins. So to use context from ConTeXt standalone you may simply do $ export PATH=$HOME/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH either in terminal or in ~/.profile. You may always check if this is true by runnig $ command -v context (for bash shell) or $ which context Returning to your problem.

don't understand how these lines help you. As you said you were able to
typeset a sample document in terminal, so all settings in terminal (bash
I presume) were fine, especially taking into account that 'setuptex'
exports only PATH variable with correct path for Standalone ConTeXt.
They might change environment from which Emacs is launched but again,
you use full path to run context so they must be irrelevant here.
In one of previous messages
(https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg88742.html) you told
that you use Archlinux, did you install texlive-* packages? Did you
update your system? I use Archlinux and have not only ConTeXt
standalone/suite and TeX Live (TUG) installed but also I have installed
texlive-* packages from distribution repository and don't have any
problem with the example either in terminal or Emacs(+AUCTeX), I suspect
that your Emacs configuration might be the cause of the problem.

Why you insist on using hooks when you specify in full the custom
target? Just add this option to the custom target:
(eval-after-load "context"
'(setq TeX-command-list
(cons '("ConTeXt"
"PATH=/usr/local/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH context --purgeall %s"

The salient characteristic of an imbedded system is that it cannot be allowed to get into a state from which only direct intervention will suffice to remove it. An imbedded system can't permanently trust anything it hears from the outside world. It must sniff around, adapt, consider, sniff around, and adapt again. I'm not talking about ordinary modular programming carefulness here. No. Programming an imbedded system calls for undiluted raging maniacal paranoia. For example, our ethernet front ends need to know what network number they are on so that they can address and route PUPs properly. How do you find out what your network number is? Easy, you ask a gateway. Gateways are required by definition to know their correct network numbers. Once you've got your network number, you start using it and before you can blink you've got it wired into fifteen different sockets spread all over creation. Now what happens when the panic-stricken operator realizes he was running the wrong version of the gateway which was giving out the wrong n

Why did you set "ConTeXt Full" as your default command? The above
'setq' introduces "ConTeXt" command to process a context file. When I
said that everything is OK I meant that I did C-c C-c, checked that in
minibuffer the "ConTeXt" command is chosen and then hit Enter.

I don't know why you get "damaged" pdf file (in fact how do you know
that file is damaged?) but "TEXMFCNF" is special variable that I uses to
tweak TeX Live configuration for my latex workflow but context
(standalone and from TL) refuses to work if this variable is set (in
terminal I do 'unset' while in Emacs I set its value to 'nil' because
this is identical to "unset" it). The "TEXROOT" variable I found in
update script, I'm not sure if context requires it to work but IMHO, it
is harmless. And the last variable "TEXMFCACHE" I use to force context
to use ~/.cache for "luatex-cache" directory and not "pollute" my home
directory (without it the "luatex-cache" directory will be created in
$HOME directory).

Not sure but I'll wait you answer about "ConTeXt Full" vs "ConTeXt" I
mentioned above.

[NTG-context] mtxrun uses 'nil' for platform
Hello list,
recent update of context suite (beta) changed something in the code of
'mtxrun' so now it shows me a warning:
${CONTEXT}/bin/mtxrun:20683: attempt to concatenate a nil value (field
'platform')
I didn't notice this warning earilier.
The line 20683 in 'mtxrun' is
local texos="texmf-"..os.platform
To check the return of 'os.platform' I made small lua script and run it
as
mtxrun --script SCRIPT --platform=linux-64
It returned 'nil nil'. Is this expected behavior?
% SCRIPT.lua
--- 8<
local plat=os.platform
local plat2=os.getenv("MTX_PLATFORM")

Idris, if you use Windows 10 then may be your OS has been updated (some time ago one of host I has access with Windows 10 has been upgraded to ver.

[NTG-context] Problem with Russian letters in itemize
Hello,
I'm trying to use Russian (Cyrillic) letters for itemize list but
without luck.
This is small example to show a problem:
-- 8< -
\mainlanguage[ru]
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
% \setupbodyfont[computer-modern-unicode]
% \setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\starttext
\startitemize[a]
\item первый
\item второй
\stopitemize
\stoptext
-- 8< -
Compilation (typesetting) of the example by context (curr. ver.
2017.01.27) gives a PDF file with Latin letters.
According to 'language-mkiv.pdf' (found in
texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals)
The \type{alphabetic} converter adapts to the current main language.
When a language has no special alphabet, the regular 26 characters are
used.
the use of Latin letters is expected behaviour if current language has
not special alphabet. But Russian alphabet (based on Cyrillic) has
differences with Latin one. Did I face a bug or I misunderstand the
documentation and I have to use (add?) another command to obtain Russian
letters for item?
Also, it is possible that I incorrectly use 'setupbodyfont' but I tested
all cases shown above and they work fine, expect the fact that 'cambria'
case gives me italic variant of font while 'computer-modern-unicode' and
'dejavu' use "roman" font.
Thank you in advance, Vladimir Lomov

Re: [NTG-context] Compiling to EPUB

The time was the 19th of May, 1780. The place was Hartford, Connecticut.
The day has gone down in New England history as a terrible foretaste of
Judgement Day. For at noon the skies turned from blue to grey and by
mid-afternoon had blackened over so densely that, in that religious age,
men fell on their knees and begged a final blessing before the end came.
The Connecticut House of Representatives was in session. And, as some of
the men fell down and others clamored for an immediate adjournment, the
Speaker of the House, one Col. Davenport, came to his feet. He silenced
them and said these words: The day of judgment is either approaching or
it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for adjournment. If it is, I
choose to be found doing my duty. I wish therefore that candles may be
brought.

above Hello.
Is it expected behavior? If yes, how can I increase/set value for
number-command (counter) then?
P.S. I tried with commented `\setupbodyfont', all is ok. Is it mean that
command is deprecated?
There was a change in the \setupnumber command for MkIV and you need now
brackets for both arguments, e.g. \setupnumber[course][3].

Thank you Wolfgang, `\setupnumber' works.
Just to clarify question (before update wiki): is `\setnumber' command
obsolete and `\setupnumber' should be used instead?
I'm also reading dev-context, some time ago there were discussion about
`\definestructure...', in message `4f737d98.5040...@wxs.nl' Hans shown
several `\let' commands, from that I thought that `\setnumber' is ok to
use with `[]{}'.

What does it take for Americans to do great things; to go to the moon, to
win wars, to dig canals linking oceans, to build railroads across a continent?
In independent thought about this question, Neil Armstrong and I concluded
that it takes a coincidence of four conditions, or in Neil's view, the
simultaneous peaking of four of the many cycles of American life. First, a
base of technology must exist from which to do the thing to be done. Second,
a period of national uneasiness about America's place in the scheme of human
activities must exist. Third, some catalytic event must occur that focuses
the national attention upon the direction to proceed. Finally, an articulate
and wise leader must sense these first three conditions and put forth with
words and action the great thing to be accomplished. The motivation of young
Americans to do what needs to be done flows from such a coincidence of
conditions. ... The Thomas Jeffersons, The Teddy Roosevelts, The John
Kennedys appear. We must begin to create the tools of leadership which they,
and their young frontiersmen, will require to lead us onward and upward.

I think it is related to MKIV (or more precisely to the fontloader).
It is a bit difficult to demonstrate it with context (how to you use
luatex without mkiv there?) but latex (or plain) it is quite easy:
The followings examples load pplr7t.vf. Both give the checksum
mismatch message in the log if and only if the lua-fontloader
luaotfload it also loaded:
%LaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luaotfload}
\begin{document}
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\end{document}
%plain
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\bye
So the code from luaotfload (which is based on the context
fontloader code) changes a checksum (either in the vf or in the
tfm-information) and so the check in the luatex engines fails.
(Imho it is only a minor problem, vf-fonts are not much used with
luatex).
Afaik nothing is done with a checksum. There is a checksum field in
the loaded tfm but I don't think one has to be passed to luatex.
Maybe one should be passed when a regular tfm file is used but even
then, loading a vf file is independent.
So, it's best to just ignore that message.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this how I understand TFM font and currect
state of tex engines (actually pdftex, xetex and luatex):
1. to use any font in tex one need a TFM file (file name = fontname.TFM),
that file actually contain informationabout font, not how exatly glyphs
are constructed;
2. when [original] tex read a document file it searches for TFM and VF
files, read them and write DVI file with information about that files;
3. after that user can send file to printer or publisher to print it on
printer. As I understand the purpose of checksum was to be sure that
publisher or printer would use exatly the same fonts as user. If user
converts DVI file to PS/PDF one on his/she computer using dvips or
dvipdfm* the checksum mostly useless, assuming files are not corrupted.
Nowadays pdftex, xetex and luatex are widely used and most time users
generate PDF files on the same computer they write documents, send PDF
files which have they own mechanism to check font consistency.
But still there are [plenty] DVI files around, as well as luatex engine
might generate DVI file. The convertion to PS/PDF is performed by
dvips/dvipdfm* programs, that's ok. But what about luatex with DVI
output?
My conclusion:
1. if PDF output is only interesting then it is Ok, ignore that message,
because font information is already in PDF and PDF programs should deal
with it;
2. if DVI output is concerned then luatex _must_ be consistent with
pdftex (also can write DVI files), which, imho (don't check), takes care
about both TFM and VF checksums.

IIRC, 32212676346 should be the checksum stored inside the file, ie
the font_checksum.
Yes, that's right, but I forgot that this is octal number, therefore
032212676346=3526065382=210·256^{3}+43·256^{2}+124·256^{1}+230·256^{0},

(1) What is the difference between \definedescription and

the first should define new description, the second change style of
already defined description.
Ah, so \setupdescriptions inherits the default values of
\definedescription?
I suppose no, '\define...', eh-m, defines a command while '\setup...', eh-m,
sets up its 'style'. When one defines a command one could set its
custom 'style' instead of default.
Consider the following example:
example file=ex1.tex
\starttext
\definedescription[definition]
\definition{Hi} This is first definition.
\setupdescriptions[definition][headstyle=italic,color=blue]
\definition{Hi2} This is second definition.
\stoptext
/example
The first 'definition' would be:
[bold] TEXT
after '\setup...' it would be
[italic] BLUE COLORTEXT/BLUE COLOR
(2) What is the difference between \definition and \description?
This example
example
\starttext
\definition{Hi}
\stoptext
/example
gives error: Undefined control sequence Where this command is
defined?
In section 10.2 of the ConTeXt User Manual (p222 of the pdf). Maybe it
is a type:
...
An example of the definition is:
\definedescription[definition][location=top,headstyle=bold]
search
\definition{icon}
...
Or maybe you mean \description which is on the same page.
May be because this is an example? I would say that ConTeX User Manual
shows different commands from context itself and how one could define
custom commands. The '\definition' is one them.
(3) How do I change the colour of the definition header? I tried the
following, but it did not work:
\setuphead
[definition]
[color=colour_head]
If I were you I would do that:
example
\starttext
\definedescription[definition][headcolor=colour_head]
\definition{Hi}. This is definition.
\setupdescriptions[definition][headcolor=colour_head2]
\definition{Hi2}. This is second definition.
\stoptext
/example
Thank you. That makes sense now. But why does \setuphead[definition]
method not work?
I don't know but reading manuals (context and latex ones), wiki and etc
somehow convince me that 'head' relates with section heading (styling),
for the rest there are '\setup...' commands and 'headstyle' key (not
always, of course), may be that's why I always consult reference on wiki
and sometimes source code.

Re: [NTG-context] Referencing a \startdefinition
Hello,

Hey list,
When I wish to reference some section, I can inline typeset with
\in{section}[Some Reference]. In the case of a definition defined with a
\startdefinition{Some Definition}, how can I reference it inline?
I could be wrong but from 'strc-des.mkiv'

Re: [NTG-context] Wrong placement parameter (Was: two problems with natural tables)
Hello,

Hi, sorry to dredge up such an old thread, but I recently updated from
a Feb 2010 vintage minimals to current (first to 1/12/2012, then to
today 1/17). I ran into problems splitting a table within a
splitfloat. I search the list archives and came up with this example,
which is failing for me.

\starttext

According to Command reference on wiki, placetable doesn't have 'split'
parameter, see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/placefloat
Just remove 'split' and your example will be compiled.

Re: [NTG-context] Questions on \definition
Hello,
** Kip Warner [2012-01-16 19:52:39 -0800]:
Hey list,
A couple of questions concerning \definition:
(not an expert, just read command reference)
(1) What is the difference between \definedescription and
\setupdescriptions?
the first should define new description, the second change style of
already defined description.
(2) What is the difference between \definition and \description?
This example
example
\starttext
\definition{Hi}
\stoptext
/example
gives error: Undefined control sequence Where this command is
defined?
(3) How do I change the colour of the definition header? I tried the
following, but it did not work:
\setuphead
[definition]
[color=colour_head]
If I were you I would do that:
example
\starttext
\definedescription[definition][headcolor=colour_head]
\definition{Hi}. This is definition.
\setupdescriptions[definition][headcolor=colour_head2]
\definition{Hi2}. This is second definition.

Re: [NTG-context] Proposal for math mappings
Hi.
** Aditya Mahajan [2010-12-09 23:49:26 -0500]:
This is a proposal for a new way of selecting math mappings in MkIV. I want
to get input from other math users whether this syntax would take care of all
scenarios or not.
There are five different ranges in mathematics:
- digits (0..9)
- lower case Latin (abc..z)
- upper case Latin (ABC..Z)
- lower case Greek (αβγ..ζ)
- upper case Greek (ΑΒΓ..Z)
Should be: αβγ..ω
and ΑΒΓ..Ω
A user may want to control what each range is mapped to. So, I suggest a setup
command
\setupmathmappings
[
digits={style,alternative},
lclatin={style,alternative},
uclatin={style,alternative},
lcgreek={style,alternative},
ucgreek={style,alternative},
]
where the options for style are
normal, bold
while the options for alternative are
normal, italic, sans, sansitalic, blackboard, script
This command will the mappings for each range. **NOTE**: All combinations are
not valid.
A companion command
\definemathmappings
[whatever]
[]
can be used to define multiple mappings. These mappings can be used by
\setupmathmappings[whatever]
(An alternative is that these mappings are activated using \whatever ...)
For example, we can define a command to typeset vectors using
\definemathmappings
[vectors]
[ digits={bold,normal},
lclatin={bold,normal},
uclatin={bold,normal},
lcgreek={bold,normal},
ucgreek={bold,normal}]
\def\VEC{\groupedcommand{\setupmathmappings[vector]}{}}
Is it should be
\def\VEC{\groupedcommand{\setupmathmappings[vectors]}{}}
?
If later, we want to represent vectors as sans serif, we can use
\definemathmappings
[vectors]
[ digits={normal,sans},
lclatin={normal,sans},
uclatin={normal,sans},
lcgreek={normal,sans},
ucgreek={normal,sans}]
This interface makes it easy to switch math fonts for disiplines that want
different style for different alphabet ranges.
It is relatively easy to implement the above interface. All we need
is some bookkeeping to set the right attributes. The default math
mapping commands can be reimplmeneted using \definemappings. Before
implementing this, I want to ask the opinion of other math users.
Would the above interface take care of different use cases, or is it missing
something?
IMHO, style is already used so it is normal.
Finally, I am not too happy with the syntax. There are only a few ConTeXt
commands in which the keys take a pair of values. Another option is to allow
all
12 valid options
normal, italic, sans, sansitalic, blackboard, script,
bold, bolditlaic, boldsans, boldsansitalic, boldblackboard, boldscript
This very depends on used fonts.
with the variants sansitalic-italicsans, boldsans-sansbold, etc. as synonmyms.
Which way of specifying the keys do you prefer?
Aditya
Actually I don't get what you try to do. I thought that 'font
switching' command should take care of font switching either in math or
text modes (if typescript is set properly). Right now the only good
example of usage of proposed mechanism is \VEC command (for vectors and etc).

Suppose I want to use serif bold italic font for vectors and sans bold italic for tensors (this is recommendation of NIST, see sp811.pdf on nist.gov). Of course I could enter vectors and tensors as symbols from appropriate unicode slots but what if my publisher says me that vectors should be in sans bold and tensors in serif bold italic? So I define commands, like \vect and \tensor to markup what symbols are verctors and what are tensors. Therefore I consider context (as well as LaTeX) as sort of markup (mix of procedural and descriptive markups). Returning to original question: I don't check but AFAIU one can define your own typescript and choose what fonts are used in math mode (mm?). If current typescript (modern?, latin modern?) doesn't have bold greek letters for math one should define new typescript and use for mm (math) font which have bold greek letters. P.S.

Re: [NTG-context] Math and bold font
Hi.
** Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. [2010-12-03 08:51:41 +0100]:
Hello all,
I'd to explain some effects in the .pdf from the code bellow. It was copied
from co-font.pdf, pg. 19-20; just Abc was added to try something.
---
\enableregime[cp1250]
\starttext
$Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$

$\bf Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$
$Abc\sqrt{625}=\bf5\alpha$
$\bfmath Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$
\stoptext
---
Things I cannot do or understand:
- The alpha symbol is not printed as soon as it's used in \bf or \bfmath
mode (lines 2-4 in each paragraph). Why? How to make it appear?
- - The same effect may be observed in the co-fonts.pdf at the pg. 19 at the
lowest line - there is bold font working, but alpha is missing as well.
- - - Unfortunately, there is no fully working example in the document with
bold math and alpha together.
- In my example, normal (thin) Abc is shown a bit slanted (as should be in
math mode). Once it is used in bold math mode, it's no more slanted but
vertical as normal text. Is there a way how to keep the slantedness even
in math bold mode? (This is e.g. often used to mark vectors.)
IMHO (I'm not expert in context) this depends on used fonts. See for
example follwoing:
example file=ex1.tex
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
\starttext
This is a test.
$a=\alpha$
$\bf a=\alpha$
$\bi a=\alpha$
\stoptext
/example
BTW, I not sure if I use correct way to switch fonts in math mode (in
LaTeX commands to switch fonts are different in text and math mode, and
I have big LaTex background, so for me this way is unusual :).
P.S. My example works with mkiv but not with mkii. The last uses
default fonts that don't have bold variant for greek letters (I could
be wrong here, for LaTeX I have to redefine commands for greek letters
because there is appropriate font but greek letters are defined in a
way so nobody could use bold variant by default).

[NTG-context] Strange behavior of '\setupmathematics' and '\iint'

\stopformula
\stoptext

If I comment line with '\etupmathematics' then I could compile the
example without error. The shown example however gives error when
compiled by context (mkiv):

No, the symbol is not in the 'standard' math fonts, and this is trouble.
Like LaTeX, we also fake the glyph in MkII. In MkIV, we check if the font
contains that glyph; if not we fake it. Currently, that test is failing.
A temporary workaround (for LM) is to redefine:
\def\repeatintegral#1#2#3%
{\let\dointlimits\donothing
\let\dodointlimits\intlimits
%\iffontchar\textfont\zerocount#1\relax
% %\edef\dodorepeatintegral{\utfchar{#1}}%
% \let\dodorepeatintegral#2%
%\else
\fakerepeatintegral{#3}%
%\fi
\futurelet\next\dorepeatintegral}
and then \iint \iiint etc will work.
Thank you for advice (I had to regenerate format to see the result,
because I changed the definition in 'math-int.mkiv') but the result is
terrible for inline math and normal for displaystyle.
Moreover I found that this solution would give unexpected result if one use
\setupmathematics[integral=displaylimits], consider the following example:
example name=ex7_1.tex
\setupmathematics[integral=displaylimits]
\starttext
Ordinary integral: $\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\text{d}x=F(b)-F(a)$.
Ordinary integral: $\int\limits_{a}^{b}f(x)\text{d}x=F(b)-F(a)$.
\startformula
\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\text{d}x=F(b)-F(a).
\stopformula
Double integral:
$\iint_{D} f(x,y) dx dy$
Double integral sign (faked symbol) could cause incorrect result:
\startformula
\iint_{D} f(x,y) \text{d}x \text{d} y
\stopformula
\stoptext
/example
(I didn't remember where exactly I found command \setupmathematics.)
Hans, do you know what the \textfont check is not working for LM?
The ideal solution is to add esint glyphs to the LM math virtual font. I
did not work on this because I was assuming that opentype LM math will be
out soon. But it seems that right now, the only decent opentype math font is
Cambria. Both Stix and Asansa give really horrible spacing at times.
IMHO, Cambria looks very odd. I prefer to use CM fonts, the design for
different font families (serif, sans, monospace) is more balanced than
any other font families have.

I had the same error. I am on linux-64 and the luatex binary in

I could confirm that there is the problem with context minimal

Currently I could build the formats only if I split the actions: update

P.S. To ensure that the same problem would not arise in future the

This time we try to use font switching mechanism:

So, if I want to get structured xml file I need to either redefine all
usual command to be tagged (start/stop) and, that is more logical define
my own tag commands. IMHO the use of 'important' as in example above is
logical, the actual presentation of 'importtant' words could be define
separately and in different ways (I like idea of xml+styles).
Is it true that 'backend' only output document content not its logic
strcuture? Does it work with math? The third example gives for math only
not letters.
Math becomes:

E-er, yes. I don't see characters (my terminal use UTF8 and good font)

another shows something different). Also I saw tthem in Emacs. AFAIU,
this is in private region of Unicode, these are _italic_ E, m and c. I
thought that there should be letter from ASCII (codes 127).
I attached the resulted export files.

indeed it should be possible to use context that way and afaik the
export is already quite okay (you might need a recent luatex as
there have been issues with attributes in math mode that were sorted
out a while ago)
Well, this were simple tests. I'll make more complex one in next weeks.
Texts, with font switching, maths, images, tables. I want to have tool
using which I could convert from one source to several formats (pdf,
xhtml, rtf/odt).

[NTG-context] Purpose of backend (export=yes)
Hi.
(I'm reading this ML but rarely ask questions.)
I try to understand the purpose of 'setupbackend'.
Consider the following three examples:
--
example name=ex1.tex
\setupbackend[export=yes]
\starttext
This is simple example. No font switching, no math.
\stoptext
/example
--
example name=ex2.tex
\setupbackend[export=yes]
\starttext
This is second example.
This time we try to use font switching mechanism:
This is normal, but this \bold{one is bold}. Normal again.
\stoptext
/example
--
example name=ex3.tex
\setupbackend[export=yes]
\starttext
This is third example with 'backend' 'export=yes'. Now we try simple math:
This is inline formula $E=mc^{2}$.
This is display formula
\startformula
E=mc^{2}
\stopformula
\stoptext
/example

Thank you Wolfgang, nice example, ... of code and output, of course.
Hangaround is a very robust command and works in more cases than
\placefigure[left] but you have a conflict with the \item command
which place the itemize symbol before the following text which
is indented in your case.
And even if I use
code
\startitemize[n,inmargin]
/code
I got 2 not in margin. Something similar I know about wrapfig package
for LaTeX. It could 'wrap' text around figure or table while it
couldn't work within list environment (start/stop).
Ok, that only means that I don't understand how lists and this
'environment' work.

Hi. 2010/9/30 Hans Hagen pra...@wxs.nl: If these are the huge traced cm supers I'd rather not have them in the minimals but as extra as they consume a log of space. No, it's otf fonts. For reference you could see this branch: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm-unicode/fonts/otf/ If it's just cyrillic .. maybe it's more interesting to use fallbacks, given that we have a cyrillic only variant available for that (there are type ones as we have support for the t2* encodings in mkii). It's not the only way to get Cyrillic as any other language in ConTeXt. Btw, one of the reasons why lm/gyre have no cyrillic (or had cyrilic removed) is that in spit of all efforts to locate people, no one is willing to check them and do some quality control. It has been discussed before: if there is a group of volunteers the glyphs might show up again in the fonts. If I not mistake part of work in cm-super was done by Vladimir Volovich (or whole work?). So, I should ask Wolfgang Schuster (author of type-cmu.mkiv) what could be wrong with the document? May be I do completely wrong with that typescript?
