It is possible to check against spaces in contextual lookups. There
isn't something like left boundary. I added some test code to the beta
but keep in mind that this will only work with self-made features.
Thanks. It seems to work quite good and after some playing around I
also got the knack of the syntax.
A few questions:
1. "lookups = { 1 }," refers to the first lookup. Is it possible to
name the lookups and to refer to this name?.
no, because order matters
2. 0xFFFC refers more or less to the begin and end of line, right?
Why doesn't it interfere with hyphenations? I tried to get
ab-
ab
and the second wasn't replaced (as wanted) and I wondered how it
worked.
0xFFFC is just the same as "anything other than glyph or discretionary"
3. Why is in the following example "abcd" not replaced by "12"?
i'll have a look at this (advancing in somewhat messy defined)
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "test-a",
type = "chainsubstitution",
lookups = {
{
type = "ligature",
data = {
['1'] = { "a", "b" },
['2'] = { "c", "d" },
},
},
},
data = {
rules = {
{
before = { { " ", 0xFFFC } },
current = { { "a" }, { "b" } },
lookups = { 1 },
},
{
current = { { "c" }, { "d" } },
after = { { 0xFFFC, " " } },
lookups = { 1 },
},
},
},
}
\stopluacode
\definefontfeature[test-a][test-a=yes]
\startbuffer
