Both problems should be fixed now. If you still do not see the new posts in the

Hi,
So … the server now runs Ubuntu 22.04. Jay!
This was a much harder upgrade though. Various things were wrong, and are

As Hraban said: it is my script that checks for new ConTeXt uploads by Hans,
which currently cannot connect to Hans’ server.
Usually that is because Hans is reconfiguring something in his internal network
at Pragma, and it will eventually sort itself out.

Hi,
You could just convert these separately to pdf/svg/jpg/png and then load them
as \externalfigure.
You could also use the filter module to be able to take them inline into the

Hi,
I had a quick look at this and it seems very extensible if-not-quite
ConTeXt-ready right away.
On the input side, it reads a LaTeX .aux file to parse things like options,
databases, and requested citations.
For this, it uses a dedicated “citeproc” lua script that should be easy to
