#pause is broken in 0.12

[upsj]

I tried compiling the examples/demo.typ file with typst 0.12, but it fails due to reasons I can't understand, related to #pause:

error: can only be used when context is known
    ┌─ logic.typ:256:44
    │
256 │     repetitions.update(rep => calc.max(rep, pause-counter.get().first() + 1))
    │                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    │
    = hint: try wrapping this in a `context` expression
    = hint: the `context` expression should wrap everything that depends on this function

help: error occurred in this call of function `get`
    ┌─ logic.typ:299:15
    │
299 │     let reps = repetitions.get().first()
    │                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Both of those locations are wrapped in context expressions, so something else must be going wrong outside.

Hmm interesting. I will have a look.

I also encountered this problem, but I didn't get an error.

In my case there just were no pauses in the most cases on slides between bullet points, but when I called functions as e.g. #v or used math blocks, the pauses worked.

See #185 (comment)

Even with this fix, pause does still not work.
On the current main branch, pause does not hide anything.
I did a bit of bisecting, and found that these two commits broke it:

• 2c673e4 broke pauses within a paragraph, like the following:

  foo
  #pause
  bar

  This example produces "foo bar" on both subslides.
• 4b374be also broke pauses between paragraphs.

I'm assuming these show rules were removed for a good reason, but I currently don't understand them.
Maybe we can find a better solution? I'm keen to open a PR on this, let's discuss.

The show rules were removed because they made Polylux very slow for longer presentations. I'm currently in the process of rewriting the pause implementation. So yeah on current main, pause does nothing.
