Dear Fellow-Contexters, I have been charged with editing a ConTeXt document in Spanish (of which I understand preciously little). This far I have gotten over the hurdles of hyphenation, labeltexts and the upside-down exclamation mark (and as far as we can tell, the Spanish hyphenation patterns get loaded, too), but now I have a problem sorting the index: the words 'ángulo' and 'índice' get sorted in the beginning of the index instead of among a and i. It tried putting something like the example below in a) the setup part of my document, b) just before the index (a bit like in the example at http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/008346.html, except that I use the command \placeindex and not \completeindex) and c) in the lang-ita.tex file. % Changes to sorting to fix the sorting of accented letters \startlanguagespecifics[es] \definesortkey {\´a}{a}{a}{\´a} % á sorted among 'a' \definesortkey {\´i}{i}{i}{\´i} % í sorted among 'i' \stoplanguagespecifics None of the options a)-c) worked and I'm thinking that this is more of a "stupid user" problem, i.e. as I cannot find any description on how \definesortkey works, I just don't understand how to use it properly. Any help??? Mari PS. Tried to find related info in contextgarden.net, but can't find much - if it isn't there, I can add stuff (*after* I solve this problem) if somebody tells me where I may start growing this flower of mine.

let's try the new texutil variant since that can have language plugins needed: = example file in spanish = sort order 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm playign with the new texutil, and what i need is sort rules. for instance, for slovenian we need: \startmode[sortorder-sv] \exportsortexpansion {ccaron} {cz} \exportsortexpansion {cacute} {czz} \exportsortexpansion {dstroke} {dz} \exportsortexpansion {scaron} {sz} \exportsortexpansion {zacron} {zz} \exportsortdivision {cz} {ccaron} \exportsortdivision {czz} {cacute} \exportsortdivision {dz} {dstroke} \exportsortdivision {sz} {scaron} \exportsortdivision {zz} {zacron} \stopmode can you (and others) more language specific sort rules? (divisions do the reverse, they determine what ends up under a different key) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
