Re: [NTG-context] Contractions in ligature suppression word list

Attached are tweaked endings for words like "wolf" to include contracted endings, but they are being ignored. This makes for a minor inconsistency:

wolfing -- no ligature wolfish -- no ligature wolfin -- no ligature (incorrect spelling, though) wolfin' -- ligature

Any ideas? I tried adding various -in suffixes without luck:

suffixes = [[ in, in', in’, ing ]],

See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ligatures#Word_suppression for an example usage.

Thank you!

I'm probably missing something here but... 1) The file you attached doesn't include the word "wolfing", nor "wolfin". I assume they need to be added into the f|i section? Wolfish *is* present so I'm not sure why it's being ignored unless there is an error being generated as a result of point (2) below, causing the whole file to be ignored. 2) Your suffixes list has comma separators - all the other word lists use whitespace as a separator. 3) Lastly, dumb question but... have you checked that you edited the right file? In my ConTeXt install there are two "lang-en.llg" files - one under <root>/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/lmtx and the other under .../patterns/mkxl — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
