Greek diacriticals (combining perispomenon displaced)
by Alan Bowen 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

There is an oddity in processing Greek. The combining diacritical perispomenon is not positioned properly, though it appears as it should in the source file. This diacritical is placed properly if one inserts the appropriate character directly. The PDF file produced by this sample shows the problem as it appears using two different Greek fonts. The first entries in each line are incorrect. \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][IFAO Grec Unicode] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 24pt] \definefont[HellenicaCU][file:HellenicaCU.ttf at 24pt] \starttext αῖ %combining diacritical αῖ %char 1FD6 \HellenicaCU{ αῖ %combining diacritical αῖ %char 1FD6 } \stoptext As I review my files, I see that this is a fairly recent problem, though I cannot say exactly when it first occurred. The other combining diacriticals process as they should. Alan

In this version: ConTeXt ver: 2015.12.22 10:50 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.12.27 int: english/english I was able to typeset my bibtex citations with \cite. But in the version of ConTeXt-beta I downloaded recently \cite results in blank. There might have been a mention about this recently, but that is all I can remember. What should I change? I am using \module[oldbibtex] at the moment. My usage is through the macros I add for convenience, it might be them causing the problem Hans van der Meer % Custom setup ================================================================ \def\bibentry#1{% start each reference on the next line \breaktemp\def\breaktemp{\hfill\break}% \noexpand\bibentrypar\cite[data][#1]\strut} % Usage: \footnotecite[citation,citation,.. ][optional text] % \footnotecite[citation,citation,..,][optional text on new line] % \footnotecite[citation,,citation,..][optional text] white within \def\footnotecite{\dodoubleargument\dofootnotecite} % footnotes or endnotes \def\mycitenote{\endnote} % Standard form of citations. \def\breaktemp{} \def\Adofootnotecite[#1][#2]{% \def\bibentrypar{\def\bibentrypar{\par}}% \def\breaktemp{}% \unskip\mycitenote{\processcommalist[#1]\bibentry \doifnotempty{#2}{\space#2\strut\par}}} % Disabling citations altogether. \def\Cdofootnotecite[#1][#2]{\ignorespaces}% % Citations switched on. \def\enablecitations{% \writestatus{HVDM-ONDERWIJS}{citations enabled}% \let\dofootnotecite\Adofootnotecite} % Citations switched off. \def\disablecitations{% \writestatus{HVDM-ONDERWIJS}{citations disabled}% \let\dofootnotecite\Cdofootnotecite} % By default citations are off. \let\dofootnotecite\Cdofootnotecite

Re: [NTG-context] Ligatures in EB Garamond
by Georg Duffner 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi Jan, hi Hans, This is the developer of EB Garamond. I’m only now and then reading this list so I only learnt about your troubles now. The way the ligatures are composed simplifies the creation of more ligatures after the same scheme while not blowing up the font by having to create one glyph per ligature combination but only one per component. In fact, it’s not just kerning, like Hans said, but one-by-one glyph substitutions. It might be seen as inconsistency that one feature can be executed in different ways. I know of that problem but it’s not that inconsistent at user level if you use the methods intended by unicode and opentype to deal with breaking up ligatures. The symbol ZWNJ (zero width non joiner) is exactly meant to do this so if you insert it, you should get what you want. What’s more, by inserting ZWNJ you should also be able to benefit from kerning between the non ligated f and the following letter or from contextual alternate forms that fit better than the long bowed f, if you want that. With EB Garamond, this should be true for both, engines that handle ZWNJ correctly or not. By the way, the newly standardized German keyboard layout even has the ZWNJ on it and the norm recommends its use to prevent ligation.

Shall I file a bugreport for this issue? What would be the right words: please provide real ligature glyphs instead of composed ones? EB Garamond is a free font also in the sense free of charge. But what can I expect when I buy a commercial font? I would be quite annoyed when I buy a font which does not provide the features in a way that I can use them in ConTeXt. Is there a font quality page on the Wiki with a feature comparison? juh -- EB Garamond: http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond

10th ConTeXt users' meeting
by Alan BRASLAU 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Happy New Years¹, fellow ConTeXt users, The 10th ConTeXt Meeting will take place on September 25-October 1, 2016 at Het Doevehuis in Kalenberg, about 35 km from Hasselt, the Netherlands. http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2016/ Having been *designated* as a member (and chairman!) of the program committee, I wish to invite everyone to begin thinking about subjects that you would like to contribute and/or to see covered. We will also be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of ConTeXt, and, of course, the 10th anniversary of ConTeXt meetings. Start planning now in order to make this meeting a big success. A piece of cake! Alan ---------- ¹ I suppose that it is still legal to extend best wishes for the New Year

Accessibility and Tagged PDF/A, Footnotes showing
by Ursula Hermann 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hello Hans and Dr. Dominik Klein! Today I found a Thread about Accessibility from last Juli! I work at the University in Vienna, and I work with students, who are blind or have a see handicap. So I read this Thread today. Last year in Summer I began to read the manual of Context. I have a question to this discussion, it is nessesary to know: How can footnotes be shown in the PDF/A tagged PDF, in a text? What I mean something, that shows in the Text the text from the footnote, when I click on the number from the footnote. Maybe with a tooltip? Or what is the right way? Which command? Ursula Hermann

TeX in \xmlsetentity and DTDs in DOCTYPEs
by Kate F 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Hi. I'm using MkIV's XML stuff. I have two related questions. Firstly, can I have entities in XML expand out to TeX markup? I thought this was how you'd do it, but this produces a document that says literally "xxx~yyy\thinspace zzz", whereas I want the ~ and \thinspace to be executed as TeX commands. Test case below. Secondly, is it possible to have ConTeXt load such entities from a DTD? If I use a DOCTYPE in my XML, entities from that DTD seem to not be loaded. Thanks. a.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <a>xxx yyy zzz</a> a.tex: \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \xmlsetentity{nbsp}{~} \xmlsetentity{thinsp}{\thinspace} \starttext \xmlprocessfile{main}{a.xml}{} \stoptext -- Kate

\replaceword and \setreplacements with xml files
by Jan U. Hasecke 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Dear list, some time ago I ask for a way to selectively suppress ligatures. Hans told me to use the replacement feature. - http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2015/083044.html - http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2015/083034.html In another thread a solution with the translate module was shown http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/37465/323 http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/28746/323 Both solutions work fine if I use them in a simple context file, but I can't use neither solution in my xml processing. I use a customized version of the from-pandoc-to-context solution of Pablo. When I place the replacement commands somewhere in the style file I get no result. I can see no error message. The file is compiled just fine but without replacements. Has anyone yet implemented replacements in xml processing and can give me a hint where to place the commands? TIA juh

RTL problem with figure numbers
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi, Again this has been partly discussed on the list and solutions were already there but I didn't see anyone mention the issue with figures. In the following MWE we have 20 pages of a simple text with a section, a footnote and a figure on each page. The page numbers and footnote numbers are fine. Section numbers need some care to appear correctly. I couldn't figure out a similar mechanism for figure numbers, though. The example does not use Indic numbers, which does not have any effect on the problem. \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two] \setupalign[r2l] %% If we don't provide the numbercommand, we'll see reverse numbering starting from 10. \setuphead[chapter,title,section,subject][numbercommand=\righttoleft] %% The following does not accept any numbercommand but it has numberconversion. %% As a result figure numbers are shown in reverse. \setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}] %% Footnotes are fine and accept conversion. %% Page numbers are also okay. \starttext \dorecurse{20}{ \section{Test} This is a very simple text. And we have a footnote\footnote{Footnote text}. \placefigure [][] {Test figure.} {\centerline{FIGURE BODY}} \page } \stoptext I use TeXLive 2015 on Mac OS X, CONTEXT 2015.05.18 12:26, and LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238). Thanks a lot! —MHB
