Hi,

Has the handling for the apostrophe character entity changed recently?

In the following example, the \xmltexentity for apostrophe is ignored, resulting in a straight apostrophe instead of a curled one:

Any ideas on how to fix it?

(see also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/661002/270600) There are two different problems here. 1. Typing "'" now gives a straight apostrophe instead of a curly one by default. The solution to this is to add \definefontfeature[default][default][trep=yes] somewhere near the start of your document. See this thread https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/104286.html from last year. 2. ConTeXt ignores the redefinition of predefined entities. If you run this code: \enabletrackers[xml.entities] \xmltexentity{apos}{XXX} \xmltexentity{lsquo}{YYY} \xmltexentity{rsquo}{ZZZ} \xmltexentity{laquo}{«} \xmltexentity{raquo}{»} then you get this output: xml > tex > registering tex entity 'apos' as 'XXX' xml > tex > registering tex entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY' xml > tex > registering tex entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ' xml > tex > registering tex entity 'laquo' as '«' xml > tex > registering tex entity 'raquo' as '»' xml > core > resolving entity ‘ to internal '󰀁' xml > core > resolving entity ‘ to internal '󰀁' xml > core > resolving entity ' to predefined ''' xml > core > resolving entity « to internal '󰀂' xml > core > resolving entity « to internal '󰀂' xml > core > resolving entity » to internal '󰀃' xml > core > resolving entity » to internal '󰀃' xml > core > resolving entity ’ to internal '󰀄' xml > core > resolving entity ’ to internal '󰀄' xml > tex > passing entity 'lsquo' as 'YYY' using 'ctxcatcodes' xml > tex > passing entity 'U+27' as ''' using 'ctxcatcodes' xml > tex > passing entity 'laquo' as '«' using 'ctxcatcodes' xml > tex > passing entity 'raquo' as '»' using 'ctxcatcodes' xml > tex > passing entity 'rsquo' as 'ZZZ' using 'ctxcatcodes' I know of a bad way to fix this (see the linked SE question), but hopefully someone here knows of a proper solution.
