(critical edition) notes alphabetically sorted
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi Thomas, Luigi and Hans, I’m aware that this isn’t exactly a feature for critical editions, but this is a useful feature for educational material. This is a minimal sample: \mainlanguage[en] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \setuppapersize[A5] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[DejaVu Serif] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα\dict{ὄνομα, -ατος, τό: noun} καὶ τί ῥῆμα\dict{ῥῆμα, -ατος, τό: verb}, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις\dict{ἀπόφασις, -εως, ἡ: negation} καὶ κατάφασις\dict{κατάφασις, εως, ἡ: affirmation} καὶ ἀπόφανσις\dict{ἀπόφανσις, -εως, ἡ: statement} καὶ λόγος. \stoptext Having these notes alphabetically ordered would be extremely useful for language teaching- Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Now Palatino font doesn't need to be patched on client side which simplifies the font setup significantly. I've updated that Wiki page accordingly. Feel free to correct me. Jan

ConTeXt hyphenation patterns for Indic languages
by Rajeesh K Nambiar 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I have tried to generate the hyphenation patterns for Malayalam language from the TeX hyphenation patterns, but the unicode characters were skipped. On TeXLive 2013, ConTeXt version 2013.04.20, this is what was tried: 1. Uncommented line for "ml" in mtx-patterns.lua 2. Ran "mtxrun --script patterns --convert --path=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/ --destination=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/context/patterns/" 3. Output shows all patterns are removed with similar messages to: "mtx-patterns | removing line with suspected utf character അ (0x0D05), category lo: 1അ1" What is the proper way to add hyphenation patterns for a new language? In addition, how to add a 'new language' to the ConTeXt base (such that \language[ml] can be used? I see "base/lang-ind.mkii" where I could add "\setupheadtext" etc for the language, what is the equivalent for mkiv? Thanks for any answers or pointers. -- Regards, Rajeesh
