Question about t-ancientgreek module
by jeffdod＠netzero.net 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hello, I have a question about the t-ancientgreek module for typesetting ancient Greek. I am using DroppedCaps (although I am dropping a numeral instead of a letter in a paragraph...I modified the DroppedString to contain the numerals 0-9) in a paragraph of ancient Greek typeset in the GreekGentiumAlt font. Most paragraphs look fine, but occasionally a word will extend out into the margin instead of being hyphenated or wrapped over into the next line. Here is a bit of sample code that shows this: % Use t-ancientgreek module for typesetting ancient Koine Greek \usemodule[ancientgreek][font=GreekGentiumAlt,scale=1] % Set up indentation parameters \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[always] % Set up inter-paragraph spacing \setupwhitespace[medium] % Set up macros to handle drop-cap chapter numbers \def\DropChapOne{\DroppedCaps{}{Serif}{3.8\baselineskip}{2pt}{2\baselineskip}{3}} \def\DropChap{\DroppedCaps{}{Serif}{2.3\baselineskip}{3pt}{1\baselineskip}{2}} % Set up book start macro...Syntax: book[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\book[#1][#2]#3{\par\DropChapOne{#1}\localgreek{#3}} % Set up chapter start macro...Syntax: chapt[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\chap[#1][#2]#3{\par\DropChap{#1}\localgreek{#3}} % Set up verse macro...Syntax: verse[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\verse[#1][#2]#3{\high{\tfxx \bf #2}\localgreek{#3}} \starttext \book[1][1]{Ὃ ἦí ἀð'' ἀñ÷ῆò, ὃ ἀêçêüáìåí, ὃ ἑùñÜêáìåí ôïῖò ὀöèáëìïῖò ἡìῶí, ὃ ἐèåáóÜìåèá, êáὶ áἱ ÷åῖñåò ἡìῶí ἐøçëÜöçóáí ðåñὶ ôïῦ ëüãïõ ôῆò æùῆò.} \verse[1][2]{Êáὶ ἡ æùὴ ἐöáíåñþèç, êáὶ ἑùñÜêáìåí, êáὶ ìáñôõñïῦìåí, êáὶ ἀðáããÝëëïìåí ὑìῖí ôὴí æùὴí ôὴí áἰþíéïí, ἥôéò ἦí ðñὸò ôὸí ðáôÝñá, êáὶ ἐöáíåñþèç ἡìῖí.} \verse[1][3]{Ὃ ἑùñÜêáìåí êáὶ ἀêçêüáìåí, ἀðáããÝëëïìåí ὑìῖí, ἵíá êáὶ ὑìåῖò êïéíùíßáí ἔ÷çôå ìåè'' ἡìῶí· êáὶ ἡ êïéíùíßá äὲ ἡ ἡìåôÝñá ìåôὰ ôïῦ ðáôñὸò êáὶ ìåôὰ ôïῦ õἱïῦ áὐôïῦ Ἰçóïῦ ÷ñéóôïῦ·}\stoptext Note also that some fonts show this problem while others do not. For instance, the Aristarcoj font does not show this problem. Also, if I remove the dropped cap numeral from any given paragraph, the problem does away. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, or how I can correct this problem? Any help anyone is able to give will be greatly appreciated!

\pagefigure does not increment page number

25 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All (probably Hans :-) ), \pagefigure does increment the page number. It doesn't place a page number, I can understand that. But why does it not increment the page number? Is that by design? I'm using the context release of 27 April 2006. Or should I upgrade? - -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer (PGP public key: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/berend-public-key.txt) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFEcmlLIyuuaiRyjTYRAlT2AKCMz5HY/GP69VZTMrvHTdpA5zxGfACgg+SK g7buT++bxNyaoyoElIUYAPs= =xP8u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hello, Is there any way using '\it' in the title of a bib-entry, so that ConTeXt/t-bib will hand it though into the bibliography listing? I have a lot of publications in my lists that contain species names in there titles, which are by convention typeset in italics. Thanks for any hints, Joh

Czech sorting
by Richard Gabriel 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hello Hans, I've prepared and tested the complete sorting rules for Czech. Could you please put them into sort-lan.tex? The rules are quite simple: - all accented letter shall follow the unaccented ones - "caron" letters (consonants) are placed into separate groups - "acute" and "ring" letters (wowels) are placed under the appropriate unaccented letters But I vitally need to fix the problem that the sorting doesn't work when using \setupregister[index][expansion=xml] otherwise it's still useless for me... :-( Many thanx, Richard -- \def\czsortdivisionch{ch} \def\czsortdivisionCh{Ch} \startmode[sortorder-cz] \exportsortexpansion{aacute}{a+1} \exportsortexpansion{Aacute}{A+1} \exportsortexpansion{ccaron}{c+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ccaron}{C+1} \exportsortdivision{c+1}{ccaron} \exportsortexpansion{dcaron}{d+1} \exportsortexpansion{Dcaron}{C+1} \exportsortdivision{d+1}{dcaron} \exportsortexpansion{eacute}{e+1} \exportsortexpansion{Eacute}{E+1} \exportsortexpansion{ecaron}{e+2} \exportsortexpansion{Ecaron}{E+2} \exportsortreduction{ch}{h+1} \exportsortexpansion{ch}{h+1} \exportsortreduction{Ch}{h+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ch}{h+1} \exportsortdivision{h+1}{czsortdivisionch} \exportsortexpansion{iacute}{i+1} \exportsortexpansion{Iacute}{I+1} \exportsortexpansion{ncaron}{n+1} \exportsortexpansion{Ncaron}{n+1} \exportsortdivision{n+1}{ncaron} \exportsortexpansion{oacute}{o+1} \exportsortexpansion{Oacute}{O+1} \exportsortexpansion{rcaron}{r+1} \exportsortexpansion{Rcaron}{R+1} \exportsortdivision{r+1}{rcaron} \exportsortexpansion{scaron}{s+1} \exportsortexpansion{Scaron}{S+1} \exportsortdivision{s+1}{scaron} \exportsortexpansion{tcaron}{t+1} \exportsortexpansion{Tcaron}{T+1} \exportsortdivision{t+1}{tcaron} \exportsortexpansion{uacute}{u+1} \exportsortexpansion{Uacute}{U+1} \exportsortexpansion{uring}{u+2} \exportsortexpansion{Uring}{U+2} \exportsortexpansion{yacute}{y+1} \exportsortexpansion{Yacute}{Y+1} \exportsortexpansion{zcaron}{z+1} \exportsortexpansion{Zcaron}{Z+1} \exportsortdivision{z+1}{zcaron} \stopmode
