[NTG-context] Attachment sizes
Hi all, A quick note from your mailing list moderator. The maximum message size for this list is 64KB. Because pdf documents tend to be base64 encoded during email transport, this means that you cannot attach PDFs larger than approximately 40KB in file size. Please, will you keep that in mind while sending mails to ntg-context? Having to go through the moderation list and manually forwarding messages people is tedious and error prone. We will not change the size limit because there are quite a few people here on slow links. Besides, it will never be large enough anyway. When you do have a large file, please email it directly to the target persion (offlist), or, if it is meant for everybody, put it on a web or ftp site (if you have one) or upload it to the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Upload Thanks in advance, Taco ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] about LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file
Dear Mojca, texmfstart texexec --make (--xtx) --all run smoothly, but luatools still has a cnf error. Did you update the scripts in binaries as well?

[NTG-context] distributed / parallel TeX?
Hello, We've been using TeX to typeset a 1200-page book, and at that size, the time it takes to run becomes a big issue (especially with multiple passes... about 8 on average). It takes us anywhere from 80 minutes on our fastest machine, to 9 hours on our slowest laptop. So the question comes up, can TeX runs take advantage of parallelized or distributed processing? As many in the computer industries are aware, processor speed (clock rate) has plateaued; it is not going to continue rising at the rate it had been. Hence the common move to dual-core, quad-core, etc. machines. But applications in general cannot take advantage of multiple cores to speed their work unless they are architected to take advantage of them. We googled around a bit but were surprised not to find any real references to efforts at running TeX in parallel or on distributed networks or clusters. Wouldn't this be something that a lot of people would find useful? Or does everyone only use TeX for typesetting short papers? Sure, you can use manual tricks to speed up TeX processing. You can comment out sections of a document, or select them via modes. But then you have to remember where you did the commenting out, so you can reverse it. And you have no guarantees as to whether the inclusion/exclusion of section B will affect the layout of section C or not. Wouldn't it be nice if TeX (or a TeX wrapper, or macro package, or typesetting system) could take care of this for you? What if you had a language -- or a few extensions to existing languages -- to give your typesetting engine hints or commands about where to split up your long document into fairly-independent chunks? What if you designed your document specifically to be typeset in independent, parallel pieces so that you could guarantee that you would get the same result for section B whether or not you were typesetting the whole book at the same time? What if the typesetting system automated the stitching-back-together process of the chunks, gathering page reference info from each chunk to inform the next iteration of typesetting the other chunks? Has anyone been working on this already? It seems like it must have been discussed, but I don't know where to go to look for that discussion.

On 3 December 1976, during the second day, a gust of wind broke the pig free of its moorings. Because there was no one to shoot the pig down, it sailed away into the morning sky. A passenger plane reported seeing the pig, causing all the flights at London Heathrow Airporthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Heathrow_Airportto be delayed [*citation needed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed*]. A police helicopter was sent up to track the pig, but was forced to return after following the pig to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A warning was sent out to pilots that a giant, flying pink pig was loose in the area[*citation needed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed*]. The CAA lost radar contact on the pig near Chatham in Kent, at a height of 18,000 feet and flying East.
