Hi, list.
I want to know if ConTeXt provides an option to automatically hyphenate/break digits as if they were alphabetic characters. Example, in a narrow page I expect something like that (I've used (-) for an optional hyphen):
*π = *3.141592653(-) 58979323846264(-) 33832795028841(-) 97169399375105(-) ...
I found myself unable to read a satisfactory solution in the mailing list archive nor other TeX related resources. Maybe LMTX has some magic for that?
Cordially,
Jairo

A quick and dirty hack as we don't need some full blown mechanism for such a rare case.

Thank you for this Hans, its going to be very useful for breaking bibliographic refs including manuscript or inscription codes in two column mode.

Just to clarify. The new \hyphenateddigits means that witha couple of tightly packed columns of footnotes it is nowpossible to break a textual reference such as this acrosstwo lines. ({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10}) This is just great, and I can see it being used reasonablyoften.

Depending on usage it might need to b eimproved (like: does one wants to break before a period or comma but let's first collect use cases

Hans,
Thanks for this.
In addition to:
({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10}) -- break after either "."
Here are some other typical cases reflecting material I've been working with of late:
{\it cf}.~(ARE 1949--50)\KSP, -- break after "--"
Tamil (lns 1---517, plates 11a---31b) -- break after either "---"
{\it Ekottarāgama}, T125, 2: 549a10-15. -- break anywhere
Best, Richard

Hi again. I've noticed \hyphenateddigits fails with alphabetical symbols, e.g. with hexadecimal numbers. Maybe there's a better solution, but something like
--From phys-dim.lua actions = function(filler, digits) digits = gsub(digits,"(%d)","%1\digitsbreak ") --space added. Would a "\relax " do better? digits = gsub(digits,"\-$",filler) context(digits) end
would fix it.
Best regards,
Jairo
