Hyphenation of composed words
by Marco 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I've yet another hyphenation problem. I cannot get proper hyphenation in composed words. Take this MWE: \setuplayout [width=1.5cm] \starttext composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphenated, but an en-dash is used, % not a hyphen, so [sign=wide] seems to be the default composed|-|word\blank % wrong: hyphenated, but the hyphen is at the start of % the next line \setuphyphenmark [sign=normal] % For hyphenation a hyphen is used, % not an endash composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line composed|-|word % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line \blank[2*line] \setbreakpoints [compound] % my workaround composed-word\par % correct hyphenation behaviour with hyphen \stoptext I hope with the comments the problem is clear. At first the default value for »sign« is wrong. It has to be »normal«. But with »normal« I cannot get the hyphen at the end of the line, instead it always appeares at the beginning of the next line. The workaround works but has the disadvantage that everything is hyphenated, everywhere. I prevent this at the moment by using bars: |not-a-composed-word| Thanks in advance Marco

Hi, I need an underbar of the length it takes to print, say, 25'000 and used to do this (see minimal example). I now get no (or a white?) underbar. \starttext \underbar{\color[white]{25'000}} %no (white?) underbar \underbar{25'000} %underbar works \stoptext Context version 2010.05.08 13:33 Mark IV Thanks, Jörg

quotechar and command with database module
by Vianney le Clément 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hello, There seems to be a bug in the database module when using the quotechar and command option at the same time. Here is a minimal example. \usemodule[database] \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [separator=comma, quotechar={"}, command=\Whatever] \def\Whatever#1#2{[#1][#2]\par} \starttext \startCSV One,Two Three,Four \stopCSV \startCSV One,Two "Three,three",Four \stopCSV \stoptext It works as expected when commenting the fifth line. Regards, Vianney

Switch for sans slanted
by Marco 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, I've a question concerning switching fonts in setups. How to get a sans slanted style? Have a look at the following table. Command Style Comment \ss sans OK \bf bold OK \ssbf sansbold OK \sl slanted OK \sssl sansslanted \sssl OK, sansslanted doesn't work I've made a minimal example to demonstrate how I use the commands. \starttext {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sans] % OK \section {sans}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=bold] % OK \section {bold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansbold] % OK \section {sansbold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=slanted] % OK \section {slanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansslanted] % doesn't work \section {sansslanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=\sssl] % OK \section {Command: sssl}\input knuth\relax} \stoptext Is there a different command to achieve sansslanted? sansbold works, and bold is an alternative as slanted is, so intuitively I would expect sansslanted also to work. Thanks in advance

current
by Hans Hagen 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, As some might have noticed, a new current has been released. One reason in that a texlive code freeze happens, another is that we need such a snapshot in order to do more drastic changes in mkiv as well as be able to use features that we introduce(d) in luatex > 0.60. Taco will post the usual detailed release notes soon. Apart from hotfix currents, the next current will be released around the context conference. Of course there will be betas in the meantime.

mistake in lang-cjk.mkiv
by Tomáš Pustelník 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, I have found a glitch in lang-cjk.mkiv in definition of Japanese language name of days are shifted. It begins at line 136, sunday is actualy monday etc. In source code it looks like that: \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!sunday=月曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!monday=火曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!tuesday=水曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!wednesday=木曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!thursday=金曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!friday=土曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!saturday=日曜日] but it should be: \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!monday=月曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!tuesday=火曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!wednesday=水曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!thursday=木曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!friday=金曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!saturday=土曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!sunday=日曜日] Also I would like to ask if file lang-spe.mkii have some equivalent in MkIV and where the language specifics are defined (in which file)? Or is it treated in enco files? Thank you for answers. Tomas Pustelnik
