How to define a new language?
by Paul Hoffman 01 Mar '19

I'm trying to define a new language for use in a bilingual document, but my hyphenation patterns are being ignored and I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. I've devised a minimal example that should hyphenate between vowels but doesn't. Here's the hyphenation patterns file: ----------------------------- lang-foo.pat ----------------------------- % Hyphenation patterns for Foo. \begingroup \patterns{ a1a a1e a1i a1o a1u e1a e1e e1i e1o e1u i1a i1e i1i i1o i1u o1a o1e o1i o1o o1u u1a u1e u1i u1o u1u } \endgroup ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I tried to convert this to Lua code but couldn't figure out the right invocation of _mtxrun --script pattern --convert_. Then I wrote a minimal Context file and hoped it would pick up lang-foo.pat anyhow: ----------------------------- test-foo.tex ----------------------------- \installlanguage[foo][ spacing=broad, leftsentence=---, rightsentence=---, leftsubsentence=---, rightsubsentence=---, leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote, rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote, leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote, rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote, date={month,\ ,day,{,\ },year}, state=stop, ] \mainlanguage[foo] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupalign[hyphenated,morehyphenation,flushleft] \starttext umleoeoikaoukkoiiaaiewuewniimoaralkokolwwuiuirmlkipetnoaeteuntoilooooamm uuuauemepokawpoieoomtkeaipeailloaukoiwaeuaewurawiueanwtaoaoemmuuonwleaue mrtmuweokmikariurtlluiraapnkowuaueolmrneraiiioeauemmaamauiiolluwrltounte aaaunnoitwueemwlniowotuauwomaupaapwtawiikiuolnrolouletouunwptoioououoael kiitinouoeolopewourtuineuaermnmmioaiuienkewuiaaklinipprurainouioiomuwokr koriiaieulkppwwieoemlipiakinppprnpaiaaekapnpatritotoeormaetualeonemlppau earoeauoiimekoilliiuomirnrwarpupieiilaaueeoaekwriummikpatakeairolwpiaoaa tniweuiineeetuiektpalukluanetoiklwnemutlonnuaalpnelpniiuiutmaoakmkoiomia ineioporrieopatakomonipiuwuiwiiaueiueoluoeaaiootwuekinkwawrrwwppilewoioo itroreraeonkeuiaawalunnueoreiaaeewknailaeomomilkruruekuonkaonwwiieunonow \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It does seem to see lang-foo.pat: $ context --pdf test-foo.tex | fgrep patterns mkiv lua stats > loaded patterns: en::2 foo::67, load time: 0.000 But in the resulting PDF, nothing is hyphenated. (I'll post the PDF if anyone really wants to see it.)

Modes and conditional part of the source
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 01 Mar '19

Hello, I'm struggling with using modes to make a part of the text conditional. Here is my code: ---- \def\b#1{\startmode[#1]} \def\e{\stopmode} % \enablemode[100] % For optional usage \starttext A \b{100} % Should be start of some conditional text from here ... B \e % ... to here \stoptext ---- Compilation fails with: " tex error > tex error on line 0 in file : ! Emergency stop <*> cont-yes.mkiv <empty file> *** (job aborted, no legal \end found) " How to make the sample work? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Output problem with nodes.toutf utility function (latest beta 02.26.2019)
by Joseph Canedo 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Dear list, I use lua function nodes.toutf to print text being typeset in log output for debugging purposes etc… and I noticed output is now different for some characters/glyphs. I use EB Garamond font, which might explain. Before, for example output was : user > margin > margin box text Thareh. Now it is : user > margin > margin box text 󰀙areh. The « Th » was replaced by some 󰀙 placeholder perhaps for unknown character? Please note that typeset text is not impacted, it seems correct. Joseph
