Hi,
Sorry for the long mail ...
One of the changes in lmtx is that we freeze the properties that determine the paragraph shape as well as breaking into lines in such a way that we have predictable behaviour. As a side effect it can be that existing code (lmtx only) will behave differently (will be fixed when we notice) but also that some low level user tweaking can not work, i.e. they are just ignored, but only when they happen mid paragraph which actually is always debatable anyway.
Hi Hans, many thanks for your explanation. I wonder whether the new improvements could prevent body text running into the footnotes (as some of us have already reported).
[...] No one ever requested it so see it an a quick and dirty example but don't hesitate to ask for more anyway (we like an occasional challenge).
If you are open for suggestions, I would ask for a footnotes that behave as a page index, such as in: \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][number=no, style={\tfx\setupinterlinespace[line=2.5ex]}] \starttext Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα\dict{ὄνομα, -ατος, τό: noun} καὶ τί ῥῆμα\dict{ῥῆμα, -ατος, τό: verb}, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις\dict{ἀπόφασις, -εως, ἡ: negation} καὶ κατάφασις\dict{κατάφασις, εως, ἡ: affirmation} καὶ ἀπόφανσις\dict{ἀπόφανσις, -εως, ἡ: statement} καὶ λόγος. \stoptext What I need there is that these notes are alphabetically sorted, such as in a standard register. As I proposed that (years ago), you told me it was too complex. I wonder whether this would be easier with the current developments.
