Hi,
on 2009-06-18 there was a mail on the list with a collection of mkIV problems,
a big part related to references and captions. (original text below)
I just did a quick re-check with the actual minimals and lua, with the
following result:
Problems 2), 3) and b) are gone,
problems 1), 4), 5), a) and c) are still there.
I'm not sure if the remaining problems are due to bugs or rather a result of my
poor comprehension of certain changes/new things in the mkIV code (especially
c).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thomas

Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Lots of problems in mkiv
2009/6/18, richard.steph...@??? richard.steph...@???:
I've recently started using mkiv because of the fonts, but I have found
lots of things that don't work.
The trouble is, I don't know if it's just me, or whether I need to go back
to mkii until things settle down.
Can someone, PLEASE, tell me if they get any of the following problems with
mkiv (I've included code snippets):
Everything below works perfectly in mkii.
1) References to equations appear as '??' in the final document
\placeformula[eq:pythag]
\startformula
a^2 = b^2 + c^2
\stopformula
Pythagoras proposed \in{equation}[eq:pythag].
2) References to footnotes appear as '??' inside
\startlocalfootnotes...\stoplocalfootnotes
\startlocalfootnotes
This has a note.\footnote[fn]{Footnote.}
See note \note[fn].
\stoplocalfootnotes
3) References to sections are repeated (e.g. reference to section 1 appears
as '11' or ref to section 1.1 appears as '1.11.1')
\section[sec:one]{Section one}
It was in \in{section}[sec:one].
4) \digits command falls over at periods or commas with \textfont1 is
undefined (character 58).
\digits{1.6}
5) \infull command does not work for abbreviations: falls over with
Missing } inserted.
\abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter}
Rudolph Kalman invented the \infull{KF}.
Please help!!

Same thing here with 1,3,4,5.
2 works fine.
I've noticed also 3 problems since I switched to MKIV:
a) Floatcaptions are no longer placed:
\externalfigure[dummy]
\placefloatcaption[figure]{blabla}
b) \start...\stopregister results in an error:
hmmpf\startregister[index][identifier]{Hmmpf}\page[yes]
\dorecurse{2}{hmmpf\page[yes]}
hmmpf\stopregister[index][identifier]\page[yes]
\placeregister[index][compress=no]
c) I'm not able to build caption numbers with the chapter number as prefix:
I want for example Fig. 2.6 where 2 is the chapter number and 6
the figure number by chapter. I tried all the options I found for
setupcaptions (at least I think so), but I dont get the chapter number
in the caption.

Thanks in advance for any hint
