What about the attached patches? See also my posting "[st]cedilla vs. [st]commaaccent".
I like them. I try(!) to be minimal and conservative in the changes I propose, but I'm always in favour of being "correct"... especially if ConTeXt is going to be described in a "definitive" reference...
It's mainly about the naming scheme: it's probably unfair to mix commaaccent and cedilla.
Agreed.
I didn't try the patch out, there are probably a couple of things missing, but I would like comments about the naming scheme principle, to consistently write commaaccent instead of cedilla for the cedillas on g, k, l, r, n. At least internally, \rcedilla could still be mapped to \rcommaaccent. Adam had some comments in enco-el about that.
enco-def would also have to be fixed in this case and some other files (regi-*) as well.
Yes.
What are the definitions like this one doing in enco-el? %definecharacter Ccircumflex {\buildtextaccent\textcircumflex C} Aren't they already (or at least: shouldn't they be) in enco-def.tex?
They were just a convenient marker (with these blocks copied directly from enco-def) to note what *isn't* in the encoding, but are among ConTeXt's characters. Note the comment (%) at the start of the line. :)
Is that because those characters now have to be composed from characters from two different encodings? Or perhaps just a reminder of what is still missing in the encoding?
The reminder. Note that the composed character might (should?) be entirely from the companion font. All we need is a full alphabet and all accents. :)
Would anyone object if the enco-uc file (and all the other enco-[nameofregime] files) would be sorted in the order of unicode insted of grouping the characters? Currently it's difficult to sort out which definitions could still be missing.
I have no objections! Sounds like a useful way to clean things up... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
