Hi,
Thanks to Bruce end others for providing input and testing it we managed
to get binary that works on apple arm. Hopefully there are not more
issues as we need to make a tex live 2025 snapshot this month.

define broken ... you're not enabling tagging and enabling export will
disable some other features so you get a different pdf anyway

When I run this test files with e.g. ConTeXt ver: 2022.07.06 21:42 LMTX
then opening the PDF in Acrobat Reader it says: Document Properties > Tagged PDF : »Yes«.
When I use the current ConText its says »No«.
And the publishing houses demand Tagged PDF (because of accessibility).

whatever that means ... for printing it doesn't matter ... for viewinfb
they have to provide the tools and i bet they don't give you a full
acrobat prescription
anyway, you don't read what we answer ... you need to enable tagging and
not confuse it with exporting .. think something
\setuptagging
[state=start]
\setupbackend
[format=ua2]
\starttext
TEST
\stoptext
instead.

Does that mean that this example should provide the urgently desired alt-text:
\setuptagging
[state=start]
\setupbackend
[format=ua2]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\starttext
\startPDFalternativetext{this is a cow}
\externalfigure[cow]
\stopPDFalternativetext
\stoptext
Really?! If so, I will send it to the publishers so they can check if it fulfills their needs.
Steffen

I just received the feedback from the publishers: there is no alternative text in this example.

I assume you can try and did so because you indicated that your viewer
gave some report. Of course you need to make sure not to introduce
unwanted spaces (as in your example).
We can actually put an Alt on a specific image element (by setting
label={...}) but for now it's disabled for now. Last time we checked
some validators didn't like it and viewerd didn't do anything useful
with it so ity made no sense to waste more time on it.
Just putting stuff in a pdf for the sake of having something is is
tricky because who knows what future validation makes of it. It's a mess
(and always has been and likely will be).

Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free. In the Document Properties it reports only whether the PDF is a «Tagged PDF» or not. The tags themselves can only be seen by Acrobat Pro. (Due to the costs probably only publishing house work with Acrobat Pro.)

I didn't want to introduce unwanted spaces. Where are spaces in my example?

Strange. I don't know the situation in The Netherlands, but at least in Germany all publisher are obligated by law from 28th of June 2025 on to provide books as PDF with tags and these alternative texts.
How do we manage this?

Do they really have to provide books as pdf? I only buy printed books so
I might be out of touch with reality (i.e. getting pdf's). Also, define
publisher ...
I never had a publisher ask for something tagged. If they would come up
with these demands I'd ask them to put their money where their mouth is
(pay for development, extra work involved, tools needed).
> How do we manage this?
If 'we' means 'me' (Hans) ... well, some of these rules only apply to
organizations that have a turnaround over 7 digits so I'm way of from
worrying. Mikael and I looked into tagging for educational materials and
stopped where it still made some sense (read: university tools are
happy), and will pick up in a few years when there might be some usefull
tools. Also we found out that with LLM based chatbots can interpret an
untagged pdf quite well so we'll see.
That said: we have tagging in mkiv ... no one really cared that much (no
tools that use them) ... and in mkxl we updated it a bit (still no
tools) only to find out that tagged pdf (and the standard) has become
fluid, seems to evolve, is kind of unstable, is a mess ... does a
conforming 2 year old doc still validate? ... one cannot expect us to
keep adapting for the sake of adapting, right? As it's all volunteer
work, there are more instresting typesetting related things to explore.

Hi Steffen and Hans,
there is no alternative text in the PDF code because of lpdf-ini.lmt:
local f_actual_text = formatters["/Span <</ActualText %s >> BDC"]
- local f_alternative_text = formatters["/Span <</AltText %s >> BDC"]
+ local f_alternative_text = formatters["/Span <</Alt %s >> BDC"]
local s_actual_text_e <const> = "EMC ET"
The PDF key name is "Alt"
(https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=567),
from PDF-1.3
(https://github.com/pdf-association/arlington-pdf-model/blob/master/tsv/1.3/StructElem.tsv)
to the latest version
(https://github.com/pdf-association/arlington-pdf-model/blob/master/tsv/latest/StructElem.tsv).
There seems to be no "AltText" key in the PDF specification, afaIk.
Besides other questions related to the accessibility directive, it would
be great to fix this issue.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

As you tested viewers before, can you check which ones do something with
Alt and/or ActualText at all?

Many thanks for your fast reply, Hans.
I attach the sample file (Alt value "this is a cow", ActualText value
"hoh").
I don’t have access to a Windows computer now, so I cannot test Acrobat
or Chrome/Edge now.
With "Alt", these viewers seem to find no "cow" (using the previous
sample from Steffen): PDF.js, poppler (Evince/Okular), xpdf, mupdf-gl
(and SumatraPDF).
With "ActualText", the compilant viewers are mupdf-gl (plus SumatraPDF),
poppler (Evince/Okular), xpdf. PDF.js has only an open issue
(https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/12237).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

So should one set both? Does it hurt? I suppose one is used for speach
and another for copy-paste and that viewers mix and match what they like
here. Could have the same values (when we set label)
You can try to uncoment in lpdf-tag:
-- Alt = alternate,
-- Alt = pdfunicode(label ~= "" and label or "image"),
irr we commented because some validator didn't like it but maybe we
should not care about that too much. (Could also be under
\enableexperiment control).

Hi Hans,
in my case the publisher that needs this feature right now is Heidelberg University Publishing:
https://heiup.uni-heidelberg.de/
Definitely no turnaround over 7 digits. A small but committed publisher, that is engaged in making PDF documents also accessible for blind people.
Yours, Steffen

- adding some Alt whatever to a pdf has been possible for ages but only
when it's required by law they do it
- adding some simple label is not helping the blind, while making a
dedicated document (or providing the sources) with more extensive
description of what this image is showing makes more sense
- add audio resources to documents clearly explaining matters that
require something that a blind person needs seems better to me (also
something that can be done for ages)
so ... if publishers really cared about that they'd embraced tex as tool
for *multiple* output (not only blind, maybe also huge fonts etc for bad
eyesight or alternative coloring for color blind or ...)
not even now, with accessibility on the agenda, those demands show up
... so forgive if i don't take publishers demands too serious on this
anyway, we'll see what direction pablos tests show us, and i'll adapt to
that

Not for the same element, my fault.

Alt is for speech and to replace non-textual elements. ActualText is
intended only for textual elements (text itself or images that contain
text).

I will try to test this with the validators that come from the Arlington
PDF model.
BTW, ActualText doesn’t work in Edge (and I guess, Chrome [I don’t have
access to a computer with it installed]).

Hi Steffen,
could you send them this attachment
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/DS5R3HFLWRFWASMMZIQT7RNTLHXEQU5K/attachment/2/cow-hoh.pdf)
so that they could test whether it works for them?
BTW, if this failed, it would be great to have program, version number
and OS (to be able to test it further).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
I already did this some days ago. Of course not the same PDF but probably from a very similar context code.
It didn't work.
Do I understand you correctly that it world be interesting to know program, version number and OS of the program with which they tested our PDF, unsuccessfully?
Regards, Steffen

Hi Steffen,
on a second thought, only the program would be required.
It would be the easiest way to replicate their tests. I mean, if they
use a publicly-available validator.
Otherwise, it will be really hard to test accessibility for PDF
documents by ourselves.
But for now, I have tested this with the VeraPDF validator and I have
found another issue.
If you don’t mind, I will open a new thread.
Best,
Pablo

It’s defined for MkXL (aka LMTX). See lpdf-fmt.lua from your
distribution, since the ConTeXt Garden contains a version which is more
than a year old).
BTW, the profile mixture has a separate thread.

Pablo

Hi Pablo,
you are correct: i found lpdf-fmt.lmt.
But with format={pdf/ua-2} VeraPDF is still red.

Yes, the main problem I found was the reason I started a new thread
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/4IIHP4EGYVY3K5OTGWAWXKBNGTP6XYV5/).

Sorry, Steffen, I need to investigate this further.
Although I must confess that if Acrobat Pro (not Reader) is the only way
to test this, I don’t have access to it.
In any case, I’m afraid testing will take time, because I have to
dedicate myself to other tasks.
Best,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
I’d be happy if I could support your investigations.
At least I will communicate and forward any test file to those who have Acrobat Pro.
Yours, Steffen

Pablo,
the last Acrobat Pro without subscription is version from 2020.
On a macOS I tested your test file with this version and the result was surprising, see screenshots via wetransfer:

Hi Steffen,
the relevant info is missing in the frame I added to your first screenshot.
Just as a comment, pngquant does a great job reducing PNG screenshots
(most of the time).
Starting a new thread about the non-standard tag.
Many thanks for your patience,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
sorry for missing parts. Here attached you may find these info.
Thanks for mentioning pngquant, works great (as we can see here)!
(I hope this is still the right thread?)
Yours, Steffen

Just today I received an e-mail, telling me that all publications that were typeset with ConTeXt since 2023 need to be enhanced with alt_text at images, otherwise their PDFs wont be published online.
Here is the law (in german) that is the background for this announcement: https://bfsg-gesetz.de/ <https://bfsg-gesetz.de/>

Hi,
It's about end of the year, so I updated lmtx.
The most significant "change" is that columnsets are in the processed of
being replaced which involves a "change in approach". As a consequence,
when you use that mechanism - we're not sure how many actually do - and
want the old code to kick in you need to load the "oldcolumnsets" module.
Mikael S and I have been working on the new implementation but are not
finished. We plan to have a reasonable stable version around may 2025
and a release at the ctx 2025 meeting when we also hope to have a new
(additional) manual ready. We also test on real (complex) documents
which triggers new challenges and solutions.
The current code works ok but can best not be used for production (and
some new features are undocumented anyway). Teaser: deep down the
approach is quite different from the previous one but more reliable and
it produced better quality output. Columnsets are also the mechanism
that parallel document(stream)s will use.
Like upgraded math and (multipass) paragraph optimization the mechanisms
used are also a quite fundamental extensions that will be documented
independently and likely used elsewhere.
Hans

Hi,
I uploaded a new version. Apart from some things discussed here already
the main update is in par passes (a bit more control, feedback, tracing
etc) which will be explained over time (we're writing a wrapup).

Hi,
end of the month update:
- we are still working on the math manual so updates there (we want the
manual to stable for the upcoming meeting)
- we also work on the export (some changes and additions there but we
will conver that plus some new tools later when we're done, read: are
satisfied with what browsers can handle sort of well)
- wolfgang updated the setups (command definitions) so plenty of
improvements and completion in there (he also did some quality assurance)
- all kind of small thingies (some to be introduced at the upcoming
meeting were as usual we also discuss development and priorities)
- there are some new \setupalign options, like 'notwins', 'notoddlers'
and 'noorphans' in case someone wants to be surprised
as usual when we run into unforseen issues we'll fix it,
Hans

Hi,
There is a new lmtx upload.
-- The svg inclusion via metapost has been upgraded and cleanup a bit,
using some more recent metapost features. There are some new (not yet
all documented metapost) features.
-- In the process, support for LCH colors has been added, which is
documented in the (eg luametafun manual).
-- The math manual is not yet there because we were distracted by
improving support for envelopes (penbased outlines) in metafun. This is
still work in progress, some is present and discussed in the manual, and
we'll come back to that sometime next month. Given the next item, we
also might need to change some in the manual (different focus).
-- Because we have users who have to conform to the European
Accessibility Act we have been wondering how to deal with that and at
Mikaels place there are two demands: distinctive colors and tagging and
especially math (somehow validators love to check that). Colors never
were an issue as they can be controlled, and tagging math neither,
especially because nothing was/is done with it anyway, but ... we are
happy that we found a reasonable (more modern and future proof) way out.
As explained / shown in the attached document we're basically forced to
choose a different approach with math (a pity as we worked hard to get
the rendering right but the attached file works fine in the viewers that
we tested).
-- We like to hear from users what other demands wrt accessibility there
are. We're not interested in the (commercial) big money aspects (of pdf
and tagging) nor in the politics behind it (changes over time). What are
the demands, so that we can see how to make it work or just work around
it (as it's kind of boring to cook uyp complex features , esp compared
to playing with metapost).
-- Furthermore .. the usual bits and pieces as discussed on the list and
otherwise.
-- If you have troubles (crash) you need to wipe the cache due to a
change in lua bytecode storage (no easy way to catch it).
Hans & Mikael

We're done with math. After years of active development, Mikael and Hans have
decided to quit working on math, and concentrate on \METAPOST\ and handing over
to the next generation instead. We lost our user to the way more popular
alternative (frozen in stone standards). Also, we had it with suboptimal math
fonts, Unicode math not getting improved, MathML constantly being changed,
browsers dealing with math differently every few years, math archives getting
polluted with tons of useless tagged math.
There are other motivations, like the European union imposing strict rules with
respect to accessibility in educational content management systems, and Dutch
schools trying to get rid of math in favor of simple calculus, if at all. This is
why the next iteration of the engine will no longer have a math engine:
MathLessTeX. Of course, in the beginning \MLTX\ will be compatible with \LMTX,
because we owe that to the users and we need to prototype the new engine anyway.
In order to get an idea of how we will get rid of the disturbing formulas, you
can load the module:
\starttyping
\usemodule[math-goodriddance]
\stoptyping
Until becoming the default setting, the command \typ {\goodriddancemath} will
bring you into \MLTX\ mode while \typ {\badriddancemath} will bring you back to
the obsolete \LMTX\ mode. Like:
\startbuffer
\usemodule[math-goodriddance] \goodriddancemath
Who wants to solve the equation \m {x + 1 = 4} or deal with the function \m {x \mapsto
\root [3] {x}}, when we have AI around the corner to help us out with simple and silly
things like the Pythagorean theorem: \m {a^2 + b^2 = c^2}, or even with more advanced
math like geometric series: \m {\sum_{k = 0}^{+\infty} x^k = 1/(1 - x)}?
We will not support complicated nonsense stuff like:
\startplaceformula
\startformula
F__{1}____{2}(a,b;b;z) = (1 - z)^{-a}
\stopformula
\stopplaceformula
When developing this Hans' Swedish improved a lot. {\language[sv] Den lilla del av
befolkningen som handlar på IKEA och tittar på fåniga krimserier förstår kanske detta:
\im {\sqrt {x + 1} = \sin(4 + y)}!}
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[option=TEX]
Which gives us the beautifully typeset:
\startcolor[darkblue] \getbuffer \stopcolor
We hope that the highly respected Swedish Academy will consider our prose in
their upcoming evaluations. Our first submission to the leading \TEX\ journal was
however rejected. We are currently on a major revision in order to satisfy the
hopefully less critical \NTG\ Maps Editors. It is therefore our sincere hope that
you will be able to read more on this topic in the near future. Currently only
English and Swedish are supported. But our next research project, lead by two
young promising linguists, will hopefully result in support for more languages.
They will present preliminary results at the prestigious international BachoTeX
conference in May 2024.

Hi,
as we're around texlive code freeze time we're also in upload mode
- i uploaded a new lmtx
- i also added linux and windows 32 bin (as it seems to have users)
- we're now using lua 5.5 which has one restriction (was already
announced a while ago):
for i=1,10 in t do
....
i = 2 * i
....
end
should now be:
for i=1,10 in t do
....
local i = 2 * i
....
end
as one cannot change the (local constant) i which actually is not that
different from what metapost does. The good news is that voilating this
is reported when a lua file is loaded so one can't get it unexspectedly.

Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx. There are some new features that wil be revealed
in the future (likely after the meeting) but here is one:
\starttext
\defineoverlay
[test]
[\color
[blue]
{TEST
\inframed
[foregroundcolor=red]
{xxx}
TEST}]
\framed
[background=test,
foregroundstyle=\switchtobodyfont[small]]
{test}
\stoptext
From now on many commands accept (properly) nested [] inside commands
that use [] as fences (like the setup commands) where it makes sense. It
is up to the user to decide to use {} (as before) or not but it is less
error prone.
It is now also possible to nest setups as in
\starttext
\startsetups one
\startsetups [three]
HERE
\stopsetups
\stopsetups
\startsetups two
\startsetups [three]
THERE
\stopsetups
\stopsetups
\setups[one] \setups[three]
\setups[two] \setups[three]
\stoptext
As part of the ongoing improvements on math rendering we added some
classic lm/cm kerns (between upperacse and periods / commas) in the
goodie files.
Some lowlevel manuals have been extended, explaining experimental 'named
cross macro nesting parameter referencing' and 'constrained cq. retained
assignments', but that is only relevant for those interested in
overcoming some limitations in the traditional engines.

Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx. Apart from the modules installer (that Hraban has
to check) and subtle improvements in math (we're now in tweaking
penalties mode) there are a few changes:
- The endstrut in framed got lost but is back again; there is now alao a
location=inline option.
- Single character math as in "text $x$ text" will from now on behave
kind of like "text~x$ text" but that ~ always felt kind of weird anyway.
Tests on large documents with plenty math and single char cases shows
that it works quite ok and in most cases the paragraph will have the
same number of lines (single char moves have little impact).
- The \lastlinefit (etec) feature is now controlled by the "fit" option
in \setupalign etc; i'm still pondering how to control the orphan
penalty feature that has been around for a while now but never really
configured) and if we should have a decent default for that (like
\orphanpenalties 2 150 100 ).
- Math formula number placement (as well as alignment sinside narrower)
has been made a bit more robust and we added some placement options that
will be discussed in the (by now 1739 page thick) upcoming math manual.
You really don't want to know how many combinations we had to check.
In an upcoming release there might also be some new text related
tweaking features as side effect of the math tweaks which leads to some
experiments with the par builder (so again we got sidetracked).

Why not install-module(s), or just install?
mtxrun --script install --modules=filter,simpleslides
mtxrun --script install-modules --list=filter,simpleslides
?

I can look into that but then I need to slightly adapt it with a command
line argument (no big deal, i just need rain outside and/or new cd's).
Not sure yet how to name the script.

Works fine at my end. I also adapted the arch AUR package to use the install-tikz option (earlier I was installing these packages by wget as part of the installation process).

Would it make sense to add a similar script to install context modules from modules.contextgarden.net?
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi,
I uploaded a version that provides
mtxrun --script install-tikz
that when run in the tex root (.../tex) will fetch some tikz stuff from
ctan and puts is in texmf-modules. After installing it wipes the files
that make no sense (or can interfere or might be harmful) but I didn't
check that extensively. Finally it remakes the file dastabase. I don't
know if more needs to be installed. It assumes curl to be present (as
library or binary). It's a rather stupid script but (I guess) good
enough for what it is supposed to do.
I can add more (like other modules) in which case it will be renamed.

Hi,
I uploaded the last of series 2.10.07 as prelude for bachotex. That one
also can do this:
\newfloat \MyFloat
\MyFloat \pfsin \floatexpr 1.25 * \pfpi \relax
\the\MyFloat
\the \pfsin \floatexpr 1.25 * \pfpi \relax
The syntax is like \numexpr and \dimexpr but the \pfsin (and other
functions) are (as usual with these things) not real primitives but
(\untraced) luacalls.
Of course it is all still somewhat experimental but likely to stay ...
Hans

Yes, but I think the default has been normal (upright), and when I
test with a minimal document here, it is still upright.

Dear Hans,
In the latest upload, I see that uppercase greek letters in the math environment are displayed in italic. Is there a way to force them to appear as upright letters instead?
Thanks in advance,
