Bugs: \WORD and \WORDS behave identically; \Cap and \CAP do nothing
by Sietse Brouwer 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi all, (1) In MkIV, \WORD{some text} and \WORDS{some text} both turn the entire text to uppercase ("SOME TEXT"). By analogy with \Word and \Words, I would expect \WORD to only uppercase the first word ("SOME text"), (2) \Cap produces the amsmath \Cap even in text mode. That's the double intersection symbol. Link to picture: http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/U22D2/Double_Intersection According to the manual, "\Cap changes the first character of a word into a capital". \Caps already changes a string to small capitals, with the first letter of every word uppercase; so, I would expect \Cap to change a string to small capitals with the first letter of the string uppercase. (I think the manual migh be saying this; it's not quite clear.) (3) \CAP{some \\{text}} does nothing; the double backslash only produces a newline. According to the manual, \CAP changes letters that are preceded by \\ into capital letters. The documentation comments in typo-cap.mkiv also mention the \CAP{ ... ... \\{...} ...} syntax, but the comments don't say what it should do. They're not terribly important commands, to be sure, but they might also be easy fixes. I don't need them for myself; I simply picked a random command + its relatives to improve on the Wiki. Cheers, Sietse

Hi Hans, can you give the \startstructurelevel (and the define and setup command) environment a better name, e.g. \startsectionlevel which fit it’s purpose. Wolfgang

Hi Hans, when you process the following example you can see that the layer box is positioned in MkII at the top of the page but in MkIV at the bottom, why has this changed? \definelayer[test][width=\paperwidth,height=22mm,option=test] \setlayer[test][x=104mm,y=11mm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=56mm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext Hello \stoptext The change happened in this code block where you moved \vss from the bottom of the box to the top: \def\pack_layers_flush_indeed#1#2% quite core, so optimized {\begingroup % already grouped ... \ifx\p_pack_layers_option\v!test \ruledvbox \else \vbox \fi \ifx\p_pack_layers_method\v!overlay to \overlayheight \fi \layoutcomponentboxattribute {\vss \hbox \ifx\p_pack_layers_method\v!overlay to \overlaywidth \fi {\box\nextbox \hss}% }%\vss}% ... \endgroup} Wolfgang

Hi Hans, is this really needed in s-mod-01.mkiv \defineparagraphs [interface] [\c!n=2] \setupparagraphs [interface] [1] [\c!width=4cm] because this makes it impossible to make a PDF from a module source when it contains something like this \startinterface all \setinterfaceconstant {…} {…} \stopinterface Wolfgang
