Hi, After perusing the texmfcnf.lua file, I created a file with the same name in my texmf-local folder, changing the settings for the node memory and step size, but it did not affect the compilation of the original MWE (without the enableexperiments switches), which still fails. What am I missing?
Below the contents of the file: return { content = { directives = { ["luametatex.nodesize"] = { size = 60000000, step = 600000 }, } } } Marcus Vinicius On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 5:55 AM Marcus Vinicius Mesquita < marcusvinicius.mesqu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, Hans > > The enableexperiments switches you pointed to solved the problem for the > mwe I sent, but I'll take a look at the texmfcnf.lua configuration file to > learn more. > > Thank you for your suggestions. > > Marcus Vinicius > > > On Thu, Sep 9, 2021 at 5:12 AM Hans Hagen <j.ha...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > >> On 9/9/2021 12:52 AM, Marcus Vinicius Mesquita via ntg-context wrote: >> > Dear list, >> > >> > In the MWE below, ConTeXt lmtx throws an error with the message in the >> > title: >> > >> > \starttext >> > \startluacode >> > >> > local upperlimit = 90000 >> > >> > context.starttabulate({ "|l|l|l|" }) >> > for i=1,upperlimit do >> > context.NC() >> > context("word 1") >> > context.NC() >> > context("word 2") >> > context.NC() >> > context("word 3") >> > context.NC() >> > context.AR() >> > end >> > context.stoptabulate() >> > >> > \stopluacode >> > \stoptext >> > >> > But it compiles with no problems with MKIV. >> > >> > context version: 2021.09.06 11:47 >> > >> > How to avoid this with lmtx? >> In luatex there is also a max on configured memory usage but because in >> luametatex we have larger nodes you hit limits earlier.
