mkiv

mkiv

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

at the context meeting it was concluded that there is no reason for mkiv 
to be fully downward compatible.

one thing that i consider removing is the 'background=screen' option 
from \framed. After all, screens internally already are just grayscales 
and the old 'method' mechanism is no longer valid given postscript and 
pdf technologies

in practice it means that those who use it (in mkiv) will have to use 
colors (grayscales) instead (the last time that i used screens myself is 
  sometime last century)

Hans

I read on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mark_IV
Troubleshooting 
The environment variable TEXINPUTS has to be empty or unset. If not, you can 
get errors about "file.tex not found".

Indeed, I wrote under "mtxrun TEXINPUTS bug"
that setting TEXINPUTS also causes mtxrun to fail.

What is the proper technique to find (custom) file input under Mark_IV?

Thank you.

Great!
Could you then also repair the "align=left|right" issue?
Thanks, Peter

no, because that would affect too many existing things

also, you can use

flushleft
flushright
center

which more reflect the result

Can you now add left|right|top|bottomoffset to \framed.

maybe when core-rul gets two versions, mkii and mkiv (and even then i 
need to check for interferences); the whole structure system comes first 
(sectioning, lists, references, numbering, blocks etc)

in texmf.cnf

texinputs.context

you can set that variable in your shell/cmd (make sure that you copy the 
current definition and add you extra paths to it)

TEXINPUTS. Also see what TEXINPUTS is set to in your texmf.cnf

Locating files

[Diego Depaoli]

I apologize in advance for my trivial questions, but... there is a
command/way to set the PATHS where ConTeXt can search for \input
files?
