Hi all,
I would like to make the exclamation mark active within my Greek environment; it should remain a normal letter outside of these commands and environments. (Why? Exclamation marks aren't used in Greek, and in mkii, I had mapped it to the sublinear dot which is used for epigraphical and papyrological texts.)
In pdf(e)tex, Hans wrote this macro for me:
\long\def\rescanwithsetup#1#2% {{\directsetup{#1}\scantokens{#2\ignorespaces}}}
but I'm not sure how to have a similar thing for mkiv (and ! is special anyway, so I'm running into trouble here...). Any pointers? Or is this a bad idea, and I should look for other solutions?
forget about the past, think about what kind of functionality you want for instance, "we need a language dependent feature that remaps characters" so, what are the specs; maybe other languages need similar things (there is already something available which we can easily extend) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
