Who said that man cannot learn from each other ? Following your suggestion, i've send your clean code to contextgardenwiki in Sample documents/Sample macros/macro for chapters headers.

i18n in ConTeXt (& some bugs)
by Adam Lindsay 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi Hans, Victor, all. I've been feeling the Unicode love with XeTeX, and I explored lang-* as a major test case for internationalised text. I uncovered a few bugs along the way. In OpenType fonts, \i doesn't compose well with accents, unlike normal TeX fonts. Therefore a couple more definitions (at least) are needed in enco-acc: \defineaccent ' {\i} {\iacute} \defineaccent ` {\i} {\igrave} % etc. I had the toughest time getting strings like \v!january to switch language. I found that this change (from \currentmainlanguage) fixed the inability to \ShowLanguageValues. In lang-lab: \def\labellanguage{\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} \def\headlanguage {\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} Another bug in visualisation was no doubt brought on by the switch to low level english. In s-mod-00: \VL \ShowLabelText \subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \subsubsection \VL\MR ... changes to... \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsubsection \VL\MR With that done, I noticed a few smaller bugs in the lang-* files. I am not an expert in any of these languages, so all of my recommendations are subject to verification by people who know what they're doing! In lang-grk, a copy-paste error was propagated: \s!fi => \s!gr In lang-ura, the Hungarian word for abbreviations has a typo: R\"ovid\'\it\'esek => R\"ovid\'it\'esek (or R\"ovid\'\i t\'esek) In lang-sla, the Polish word for part has an \ecedilla, which I'm guessing should be an \eogonek... Ust\c{e}p => Ust\k{e}p (probably!) In lang-ita, The Catalan word for March is spelled with a \,. That's probably a cedilla: mar\,c => mar\c{c} Finally, I've done some work filling out enco-uc with characters used in the other encodings and (especially) characters used in the lang-* files. It's attached. I have a couple questions that remain for experts: Greek: I defined \Greekleftquot as a guillemot, as a guess. Is that right? Cyrillic: The Unicode codepoint for \cyrilicii completely baffled me for a while. (I don't have a copy of the t2a/b fonts here with me to take a look for myself!) According to Unicode, it should be the same as \cyrillici, but that can't be right. I'm now guessing that since it appears the same as the roman 'i' in enco-cyr, it corresponds with U+0456: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I. Is that right? The additions to enco-uc are attached. I would be ever so grateful if they found their way into the distribution! By the way, although these seem like complaints, I must say (again) that the plumbing supporting arbitrary encodings, accents, and input regimes in ConTeXt is absolutely fantastic. Making XeTeX work with ConTeXt is really quite trivial compared to the efforts being expended on the XeLaTeX side! Best, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Table of contents interaction
by Richard Gabriel 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi all, got the following problem: I'd like to setup the interaction for the table of contents to section numbers AND page numbers. \setupcombinedlist[content][interaction= ...] The possible values for the parameter "interaction" are: sectionnumber, pagenumber, text, all I don't want to use all because the interaction text has an another color: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=normal] Is is possible to say something like: \setupcombinedlist[content][interaction={sectionnumber, pagenumber}] (exactly this command is not accepted) Thanks for any help! Richard

Hi Hans, Am using Hotmail directly from my browser cause i can't get my emails to any email client (Outlook express has a problem working on an xp user account with restricted privileges). I'll be more careful in the future. I promise ;=) My question was : How can i change the keyword "part" when it appears in my documents when i use \part as follows: \setuphead[part] [align=left, page=right, placehead=yes, style=\Karat, before={\hbox{}\vfill}, after={\vfill}, command=\MyPart] \part{Sommaire} the result is : part 1 | Sommaire i would like to get : partie 1 | Sommaire Thanks.
