Hi,
I uploaded a new version. It is a follow up on the ctx meeting of last
week (in a country side compound in czech with also some remote
attendants, daily infrared health scans, an excursion, talks, breaks,
food, and the usual have fun with context friends moments).
There are a few changes that can affect users numbered 1 and 2 below.
(1) During one of the coffebreak discussions we agreed to drop the two
units that were never official and are kind of meaningless: 'nc' (new
cicero) and 'nd' (new didot). Arthur made some stroing arguments and
only Tomas remembered ever entering one of them so there was no resistance.
We also considered that in order to enforce the use of si units the 'in'
should go away but that has been postponed (it is anyway last in the
checked keywords so has no overhead).
At some point the "true" prefix might go too (never really used, but no
overhead either).
(2) Another change is in the \startdocument mechanism. This (already old
and rusted) wrapper runs on top of variables but we think no one knows
(or uses) that. So, it now is a real wrapper with inheritance and such.
It is dedicated to Tomas Hala who had to struggle with the old one but
still gave a presentation using it. Here's an example:
\definedocument[thesis]
\setupdocument[a=b,e=f]
\setupdocument[thesis][a=x,c=d]
% \startsetups[thesis:start]
\startsetups[document:start]
START
\stopsetups
\startsetups[thesis:stop]
% \startsetups[document:stop]
STOP
\stopsetups
% \startdocument[thesis]
\startthesis
(\currentdocument/a): \documentvariable{a}\par
(\currentdocument/c): \documentvariable{c}\par
(\currentdocument/e): \documentvariable{e}\par
\stopthesis
% \stopdocument
There's also a user mode set with the document enviroments name.
(3) Some other additions are for Taco so will not be disclosed here (yet).
(4) There are some summaries of my presentations added to the
distribution (the wiki will collect more at some point).
1 context-2020-mkii-mkiv-mkxl.pdf
2 context-2020-luametatex.pdf
3 context-2020-concepts.pdf
4 context-2020-tokens.pdf
5 context-2020-implementers.pdf
6 context-2020-datatypes.pdf
7 context-2020-ecmascript.pdf
8 context-2020-svg.pdf
9 context-2020-mp.pdf
They use the new 'boring' presentation style and most are probably
useless without demos and discussion but anyway ... The first one is an
overview of the three successive context versions. The second one is
about the state of luametatex and the third discusses a couple of things
introduced last year (luametatex and lmtx). The tokens talk is for low
level tex lovers (or those who need to impress other texies with token
speak), and the talk about implementers was probably only useful for
wolfgang and me, but who knows. The datatypes are an overview over what
is standard in tex and in lua as well as what we have extra on top of
that. The seventh talk fits in the 'we also need to have some fun
talks', and the eigths one was for a large part a discussion and
accompanied by a demo by Hraban. The last one is (of course) also a fun
one and (of course) discusses Don Knuths latest font which (of course)
is kind of special
Anyway, it's all part of the 'we keep going' story, which is why they
are in the distribution.
(5) We had several talks / discussions about the greatly improved wiki
and users are invited to participate in completing the pages that need
to be filled in, but I leave that to Taco to summarize.
