  1. After lunch @fiee and @d2887 presented the #TeXConTeXt based data sheet workflow they use at WIWA including some additional tooling which simplfies debugging and avoiding mistakes.

    This presentation included nice examples showing the mechanisms #LuaMetaTeX (and #LuaTeX) provide to create macros using Lua as well as the internal JSON parser.

  11. Standard interchange image format for Open Source DTP

    Hi people,

    with all the mayor GUI #DTP software reaching their peak: #GIMP, #Scribus and #Inkscape; and the well established #TeX software #ConTeXt and #SpeedataPublisher, and #ImageMagick we need a serious discussion about which image format we should adopt that works seamlessly across all these applications and it is generally accepted in the press workflow, whereas is embedded or not into a PDF file.

    It should be something that has good quality, supports #CMYK and Alpha channels and it is #opensource friendly and perhaps an #openstandard.

    I would dare to say that perhaps jpeg2000 matches most of them, it exists from a very long time and can be adopted as common ground, however it is need a combined effort, if what I am writing makes sense for you.

    ImageMagick supports it, Gimp 3 currently doesn't, #LuaTeX and #LuaMetaTeX neither. I guess that Inkscape once it will be able to export in CMYK it will decide which format using to store images in CMYK with alpha into a PDF.

    It would be very beneficial if we can adopt a format that works everywhere and it is press friendly, thanks.

  16. Im letzten Vortrag des Tages beschäftigt sich Hans Hagen mit „The Performance Narrative“ und gibt einen Überblick über die unterschiedlichen #TeX Compiler, deren Resourcennutzung, ein Paar Einblicke in Unterschiede zwischen #LuaMetaTeX und #LuaTeX sowie Faktoren, die Kompilierungszeiten beeinflussen.

  21. Gavin about #documentation for #MetaPost:

    I am working with #MetaPost in #ConTeXt. Here are the resources I use, roughly in the order I search when trying to solve a problem.

    #MetaFun Manual (pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/) This is most comprehensive and helpful source.
    ➤ MetaPost Manual (mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/m) This is not specific to ConTeXt, but it is very useful.
    ➤ The MetaFun page on the ConTeXt wiki (wiki.contextgarden.net/Graphic)

  26. Today’s update for #ConTeXt #LMTX contains #LuaMetaTeX 2.10.09 and a new, configurable multipass paragraph builder.

    It is activated with \setupalign[granular] and preliminary documented in lowlevel-lines.pdf (to be enhanced soon).

    Hans Hagen already presented it to the participants of the last online meet-up.

    🧵

  27. The current update for #ConTeXt #LMTX is yet another enhancement for math font support and math typography.

    Hans Hagen also reports:
    “LMTX installs nicely on my Android (12) phone (userland Ubuntu) and #LuaMetaTeX compiles nicely from source (as it’s aarch64) in about a minute. No decent editor [for] real documents but who knows what a properly dockable (linux supporting) phone can do in a few years.”

  30. Tonight’s update for #ConTeXt #LMTX should fix problems with #PGF/#TikZ.

    While #MetaPost (#MetaFun) is the graphics language of choice in ConTeXt, TikZ should generally work. But some modules like pgfplots needed new loaders due to the low level changes in #LuaMetaTeX.
