how to write two or three single hyphens?
Hello, describing linux file permissions I would like to write rwx------ As I expected the hyphens are converted to two long dashes (excuse me if I missed the correct name), so I tried something like this rwx{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-} or rwx{}-{}-{}-{}-{}-{}- which works in latex, but in context I'm still getting the long dashes. How can I prevent this conversion, please? regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/
Hello, is this what you are looking for? \starttext rwx\,-\,-\,-\,-\,-\,- \stoptext I tried the small space macro from LaTeX and it works here, too, so i suspect it is more a TeX macro. Andy On 31.05.2012, at 11:16, Jan Pohanka wrote:

\definehighlight[filepermission][style=\setff{none}] \starttext Verbatim: \type{rwx------} Highlight: \filepermission{rwx------} \stoptext Wolfgang
\definehighlight[filepermission][style=\setff{none}]
Great, thank you. Anyway what is the purpose of the \setff macro? I have not found its documentation anywhere. Also why the latex way -{}- does not work? It is a feature of luatex? best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

-{}- is a side effect of traditional tex and sort of a hack too Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

In MkIV you have tell which features of a font (e.g. ligatures or kerning) have to enabled, this is done in two steps. 1. You define a list with the features you want, e.g. \definefontfeature[myfeatures][liga=yes,kern=yes] which activates ligatures and kerning. 2. You apply this list to a font, normally this is done in the typescripts, e.g. \definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][palatino][default][features=myfeatures] Sometimes it is necessary to add additional features or to switch a different feature list *in* the document. To do this context provides the commands \addfontfeature and \setfontfeature which can be also called in the two shorter commands \addff and \setff. In the \definehighlight command I enabled the predefined “none” list where ligatures and kerning is disabled to prevent that -- results in –. Wolfgang
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
best regards

{} breaking ligatures is “an accidental feature¹” in traditional TeX that LuaTeX got rid of. Regards, Khaled ¹ https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!msg/comp.lang.perl/Egohpu5chYU/...
