Hi:
No line such as "Widow/orphan detected. Attempting to delete".
I see interleaved new groups with the same line always repeating a
warning message throughout the whole file. In short, there are 613 new
lines with the message "luatex warning > tex: left parfill skip is gone".
But I didn't give it any importance, because I interpreted that they
could be inherent to the module.
I can see "modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded".
But, luckily, I can also see this:
open source > level 2, order 4, name
'/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl'
resolvers > lua > loading file
'/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/luatex/lua-widow-control/lua-widow-control.lua'
succeeded
close source > level 2, order 4, name
'/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl'
module > lua-widow-control > Already enabled
On the other hand, the distribution and size of my paragraphs take great
care that their "design" optimises the module's goodness, except, of
course, for the first pages of each of the nine dummy text chapters
(they start at a third of a page).
But it is very curious that, even so, only the two orphan lines I
mentioned, and only two of the five widows relate to two or three of
those "supposedly problematic" first chapter pages (as I said, nine in
total). And the case of the broken scripts is even stranger: only two of
the six breakages concern a couple of those early chapter pages.
I will go over the lua-widow-control.pdf document once more in case
there is a tiny detail I am missing, but I think, if I keep going at
this pace, I will end up learning it by heart.
Well, joking aside, thanks again for your advice, Max.
Edu.

First things first. I want to acknowledge and thank you for the
tough mission that surely involves maintaining this module for the
benefit of the TeX community and, most especially, for LMTX in

Well thanks :) These days I write most of my documents in LMTX, so the
LMTX
support is pretty self-serving -- I'm admittedly surprised that there's
another lwc + LMTX user.
Regarding your remarks, you are right in your assumptions: I didn't
have the required lua file installed in its corresponding folder.
That's what I was missing, and, logically, what made my compilation
crash.
Yeah, it's a pretty easy mistake to make. For Knuth TeX, shared files go
in texmf/tex/generic and Plain-specific files go in texmf/tex/plain, but
with LuaTeX there's just texmf/tex/luatex so it gets a little confusing.
Now I finally get the pdf. But unfortunately, this "new" pdf is the
same with the module uncommented as when I had it commented. There is
no difference at all. And you're right: even context --make doesn't
solve the problem. To give you an idea, although my dummy document
has 78 pages, only 55 can really be said to be dummy text that can
benefit from the module. Well, only in those 55 pages I have 2
orphans, 5 widows and 6 broken hyphens.
So the first step here is to check the log file. If you see lines like
module > lua-widow-control > Widow/orphan detected.
Attempting to remove.
module > lua-widow-control > Widow/Orphan NOT removed on
page X.
then that means that lwc found a widow/orphan, but gave up. This usually
only happens if the page has only really short paragraphs, but it can
also
happen if there aren't any paragraphs that both start and finish on
the page.
I've got some neat graphs for this (see the upcoming TUGboat issue),
but with
default settings this should happen for much less than 10% of potential
widows/orphans, so it seems unlikely that this is happening for every
page.
If this actually is the issue, then you can try raising the
"emergencystretch"
value in "\setuplwc", but that's probably going to give terrible
results. The real
solution is to rewrite something, but that should usually be pretty rare.

If you see lines like
module > lua-widow-control > Widow/orphan detected.
Attempting to remove.
module > lua-widow-control > Widow/orphan successfully
removed at paragraph X on page Y.
but the widows/orphans weren't actually removed, then something really
weird
is going on and definitely means that there's a bug in lwc. Rerun the
document with
\setuplwc[debug=true]
immediately after "\usemodule[lua-widow-control]" and either reply
with the log
or post a new issue on the lwc GitHub.
---
If you only see
modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded
but not any other lines mentioning lwc, then something weird is going
on, and
lwc is loaded but not enabled. If this is the case, same as last time:
enable
debug mode and reply with the log.
---
If you don't see
modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded
at all, then you're not actually loading lwc. This probably means that
ConTeXt
can't find the file, there should hopefully be clues somewhere in the
log file.
Thanks again for your work and yours observations.
No problem; glad to help.
