fails differently now:

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan

2011-07-22 Thread Gordon Parrott


Hi All,

I wonder if you can help:

I have been having a problem with \startcolumnsetspan when I was trying to 
create a magazine layout for a Uk psychodrama organisation.

Out of curiosity ( and in the hope i might learn something) i turned on tracing 
for a short example that gives the problem





here is the source of the test.

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\definecolumnset[columntest][n=3]%
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]%
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\input knuth
\tracingall
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


of course it spewed out a huge log file but when looking at it i found this:



\dostartcolumnsetspan [#1][#2][#3]-\endgraf \vskip \zeropoint \bgroup 
\forgetall \ifnum \columnsetlevel \zerocount \else \columnsetspanhsize \hsize 
\nofcolumns \plusone \mofcolumns \plusone \fi \setupframedtexts [cs:#1] 
[\c!width =\columnsetspanhsize , \c!linecorrection =\v!off , \c!depthcorrection

\dostartframedtext [cs:#1][\v!none ]\ifnum \columnsetlevel \zerocount 
\namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!before \fi \unexpanded \def 
\stopcolumnsetspan {\dostopcolumnsetspan {#1}}
#1-wide
#2-
#3-
{\par}
Lua linebreak_filter failed, reverting to default on line 9


Any ideas? my actual document exhibits the same sort of fault. It used to work 
before I had to update the minimals ( some time ago) when I moved to another 
computer and it failed then.


I must say I really like context and appreciate all the hard work that must 
have gone into it. I know that it is a large system and will take me some time 
to get to grips with. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Gordon

Thanks very much.

That seems to have sorted things out.

 no, it can be a bug; it happens also with Linux32 bit.
 Quick fix under Linux
 1) hit   CTRL-C anytime mktexlsr goes into  a loop until end
 2) cd tex; . setuptex
 3) mktexlsr
 4) context --make
 5) texmfstart texexec --make en

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan

2011-05-21 Thread Gordon Parrott

Hi
I am fairly new to Context and as a way to learn I am working on a magazine 
layout for a an organisation to which I belong.

I was getting along well ( with information I got from the web site and the 
mail lists).

 I am having a problem with \starcolumsetspan. Until a week or two ago it 
appeared to be working but I have just installed the minimals on a new machine 
and it no longer works with the latest version.

I found this example on the mailing list which give the same results:

\definecolumnset[columntest][n=2,balance=yes]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


I'm just wondering if there is anything I might need to do to the above to get 
it to work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated but I am in no hurry for this and could 
wait until it gets fixed in the normal round of releases.


Cheers
Gordon
