Re: [NTG-context] \replaceword with spaces

15 Apr 2018

      ...
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\replaceword[some][via ][Vía]
     \replaceword[some][calle ][c/ ]
     \replaceword[some][ calle][ Calle]
     \starttext
     \startTEXpage[offset=2em]
     This is what I get:
\setreplacements[some]%
     calle via del viaducto de la calle
\resetreplacements
     This is what I need:
c/ Vía del viaducto de la Calle
     \stopTEXpage
     \stoptext
Is there any way to get spaces in the string to be replaced?
not with a lot of effort on my end which i'm not willing to invest in 
something that is just a hack for bad input ... tex has no spaces so

anyway, i added a bogus lookup to the font handler that will remove 
characters so in a next beta you can do this (some upbeat music in the 
background so i could convince myself)

\stopluacode

\definefontfeature[default][default][crap=yes]

\starttext

\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
     \type{text:} \type{calle via del viaducto de la calle}

     \type{done:} calle via del viaducto via de la calle

     \type{okay:} c/ Vía del viaducto Vía de la Calle
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

one could make a constructor for this but would hide the weirdness of it 
... yet another obscure feature
