XML Namespaces and XML Setups
by Christoph Reller 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear List, Consider the following MWE: \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{tag}{xml:demo:tag} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:tag %\doif{\xmlnamespace{#1}}{o}{NameSpaceO:} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \startbuffer[test] <?xml version="1.0"?> <root xmlns="NameSpaceA" xmlns:o="NameSpaceO"> <tag>text</tag> <o:tag>text</o:tag> </root> \stopbuffer \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{test}{} \stoptext My questions: - Is there a good way to have a separate XML setup for each XML namespace? - Alternatively, one has to do the distinction within the same XML setup. In this case, how do we get the complete namespace? (In this example: "NameSpaceA" and "NameSpaceO") Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Christoph

Laundry symbols (now: altered picture)

Hello ConTeXters, is there a way how to get laundry symbols into ConTeXt? - The image is copied from "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List", Scott Pakin. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Unicode normalization and Hebrew in ConTeXt
by Joey McCollum 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

I am typesetting a document in Hebrew that includes pointing (e.g., vowels, shin and sin dots, dagesh, etc.) using ConTeXt. The Hebrew text that I want to typeset has been normalized into Unicode's NFC canonical form. It is well-known that the Unicode canonical ordering of Hebrew points conflicts with the recommended mark ordering of specific points based on their functions (see https://www.sbl-site.org/Fonts/SBLHebrewUserManual1.5x.pdf for more on this topic). Thankfully, many typesetting engines automatically reorder the points to ensure that they are combined according to the specifications of many fonts. I'm pretty sure that XeLaTeX is one of these, as it typesets Hebrew letters with multiple points correctly even when the Hebrew text is in NFC form. My question is, can ConTeXt with LuaTeX handle the same situation correctly? In the following minimal example, ConTeXt typesets pointed Hebrew correctly when the characters are in the typographically recommended order, but not when they are in Unicode canonical order: ``` %Setup Hebrew text font: \definefontfeature[f:pointedhebrew][default][ ccmp=yes, mark=yes, script=hebr ] \definefontfamily[hebrew] [rm] [SBL Hebrew] [features=f:pointedhebrew] %Set the body font: \setupbodyfont[hebrew] %Set up right-to-left alignment: \setupalign[r2l] \starttext %Characters after normalization, in Unicode canonical order (bet + segol + dagesh + final nun): בֶּן %A word with characters in typographically recommended order (bet + dagesh + segol + final nun): בֶּן \stoptext ``` I typeset this using ConTeXt version 2020.03.10, as released with TeXLive 2020. I got the SBL Hebrew font from https://www.sbl-site.org/educational/BiblicalFonts_SBLHebrew.aspx. According to the font's user manual (see the link above the MWE), the font should be able to combine the marks to form the correct glyph regardless of their order after the consonant, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I also tried using the predefined "hebrew" featureset, but that did not change anything. Is there some other OpenType feature or featureset I need to enable to fix this, or is there some module or option I can include to get ConTeXt to typeset Unicode-normalized Hebrew as if it were ordered in the recommended way, like XeLaTeX does? I see that the uninormalize module is mentioned in the thread "XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, fontspec, unicode and normalization" on TeX Stack Exchange ( https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/229044/xelatex-lualatex-fontspec-un…); can that be used with ConTeXt? Thank you, Joey

img.scan in lmtx?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 Aug '21

Hi, I use the lua function img.scan{filename}, but in lmtx I get "attempt to index a nil value (global 'img')", so I guess this got renamed or moved? HR

LMTX: different output if dots are used in the file name
by Marco Patzer 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Hi! LMTX and MkIV behave differently if dots are used in the file name. Example: printf '%s\n' '\starttext\null\stoptext' > foo.10.tex && context foo.10.tex MkIV: → foo.10.pdf LMTX: → foo.pdf Is this intentional? This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.06.05 current version: 2020.05.25 23:39 Marco

Hyphenation again
by Denis Maier 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hi, another weird thing: In this example I use \startexceptions to set hyphenation exceptions: ``` \mainlanguage[en] \startexceptions[en] appli-cable obli-gated \stopexceptions \setuplayout[width=1cm] \starttext \currentmainlanguage \currentlanguage \hyphenatedword{applicable} applicable \hyphenatedword{obligated} obligated \stoptext ``` What am I missing?

Hyphenation patterns
by Denis Maier 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hi, where can I find the hyphenation patterns used by ConTeXt? I have two wrongly hyphenated words, and I want to check whether this is due to incorrect patterns. (I tried the source browser... not much luck so far.) The words are: 1. applicable => hyphenated as applic-able 2. obligated => hyphenated as oblig-ated I know I can use \hyphenation to correct that, but I wanted to check the patterns nevertheless. Best, Denis

Math align not working
by Johann Birnick 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Hi there, I noticed that Math align is not working properly. In particular I mean the alignment. For example, the following code \starttext \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=8em,n=5, align={right,middle,middle,middle,left}] \NC 0 \NC < \NC 2x + 5y \NC < \NC 10 \NC 4 \NC < \NC 3x + y \NC < \NC 9 \NR \NC 3 \NC < \NC 2y + 3z \NC < \NC 15 \NC 10\NC < \NC 8y + 5z \NC < \NC 20 \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext is copied from https://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf but doesn't produce the intended result. What's wrong? Best regards, Johann
