Re: [NTG-context] Passing unicode characters

Dear Idris, سلام I tested your file. What I mean is more than that. In your file if I write 1 then it is printed as one. But I mean something like conversion command. For example look at the output of your file. The page number is 1. But what I mean is that engine prints every 1 as one for example. Let me explain in a different way. I declare \setupsection [chapter][conversion=persiannumerals] and the engine puts persiandecimalseparator character "E8C8" between chapter numbers and section numbers. I am not satisfied with this character and like the separator character to be a period "002E". In XeTeX one of the font features is to assign the value of "E8C8" to "002E". Then the engine automatically prints "002E" whenever it has to print "E8C8" (except in math mode for which there is a \XeTeXmathcode command).

Hi everyone, Is it possible to pass a character to another in MKIV, I mean, like XeTeX in which one can pass one unicode character to another one (this is done in some mapping files with some lines in it of the form U+0030 <> U+06F0 )

I'm not quite sure I understand you, but there is a mechanism so that you can write your own feature file with your own gsubs and gposs and then pass those along to luatex.

This was broken in earlier versions of luatex; seems to be working now -- just checked. See below.
