Hello,
I just started to experiment with typesetting XML using ConTeXt ... I ran into this problem which I'm unable to solve: 1) I added the following rule to my xml map file: \defineXMLentity [en] -- 2) yet calling &en; in my document results in the TeX equivalent of "-" rather than "--" being typeset.
Any pointers?
add this to type-exa.tex (or to your doc file) \starttypescript [serif,sans,mono] [handling] [noligs] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone ] [handling=\typescriptthree] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Bold] [handling=\typescriptthree] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Slanted] [handling=\typescriptthree] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Italic] [handling=\typescriptthree] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldSlanted] [handling=\typescriptthree] \setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldItalic] [handling=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript explanation for David Arnold (who is eager to know the obscure typescript features -): the macro \typescriptprefix{serif} will expand to Serif, because in type-def we have the definition: \definetypescriptprefix [serif] [Serif] \definetypescriptprefix [sans] [Sans] \definetypescriptprefix [mono] [Mono] so, instead of defining 3 times n_of_encodings we can stick to one typescriptdefinition which is much more efficient. ok, after this is done, you need to define a typeface using this handling; because of the nature of the underlying tex font mechanism (global optimizations in tex itself) we need to do it this way: \usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif][latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif][latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[mine,10pt] \starttext asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken \stoptext The noligs handling is selective (only ? ! - -- --- are taken care of, so you keep the fi ligatures) Hans
