\definefilesynonym [moika] [mojca]
\definefilesynonym [moica] [mojca]
Ok, if you are provocating, I'll strike back:
None of the definitions above are allowed because they don't warn the
user if he's using the wrong name. They should throw an error instead.
The only proper way would be to define something like
\setuplabeltext[\s!en][\v!pronouncemyname=moitsa]
\setuplabeltext[\s!de][\v!pronouncemyname=mojza]
\setuplabeltext[\s!ru][\v!pronouncemyname=мойца]
...
so how about using:
\translate[en=moitsa,de=mojza,ru=мойца]
then -)
OK. I'll prepare \defineregimesynonym-s proposals, but I still don't
know what the file synonyms should be used for in this context. The
user probably doesn't need to care about file names?
depends on if you want to preload all those vectors (take quite some
memory although i may find a way around that [maybe delayed loading]
So why not mapping the characters to unicode first and defining the
mapping from unicode to \TeXcommand only once? regi-* files (at least
in the meaning they have now) could be prepared automatically by a
script, less error-prone and without the need to say Some more
definitions will be added later.
you mean ...
\defineactivetoken 123 {\uchar{...}{...}}
it is an option but it's much slower and take much more memory
\uchar{2}{33} takes 1 hash pointer and 7 char slots (so probably 8 mem
locations) while \eacute takes one mem location
Is it possible to switch the regimes in the middle of the document
(like it is possible to switch the languages)? An example usage would
be if some input documents (plain text, some older TeX files or
database entries) are written in some other encoding than the main
stream.
(Possibly switching in such a way that no leftovers remain after the
old encoding is replaced by a new one.)
switching is possible but in that case you probably want to set toc/index/etc expansion to yes

I'm currently working (very slowly) on trying to improve this by doing a port of AMSmath to ConTeXt, but I have no idea how compatible that will be with ConTeXt's MathML/XML support, nor when I'd have it to a point where it would be ready for production work. The other alternative I know of for doing math in XML is embedding bits of LaTeX code within the XML. Since most conversion to non-PDF formats involves converting the math to bitmap images anyway (or, at least, any conversion to HTML for the web does!), I don't think that's really complicating things much. It's certainly possible in theory to embed LaTeX-coded equations in ConTeXt, and there's a small bit of comment on this on the Wiki. In practice, it may take a bit of coding to make work, but the amount won't be excessive. there is a math module (m-math) and a new implementation of that (m-newmat) which does quite some ams math; i have no problem with adding more code but each time i ask for specs, nothing comes up -) 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 - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hi Elena Concerning the math and xml, it all depends on what kind of math is used. In most cases some tex - presentation mathml results in sub optimal results. One of the advantages of context is that one can easilly modulate on layouts, so for publishing on the web one can as well use pdf in a more screen/navigation friendly layout.

Hi, I'm currently uploading a beta with the most recent discussed fixes / extensions. The questiosn with regards to verse/poems triggered me into looking into the lines mechanism and i found out that the odd/even indentation was broken. As a result i rewrote part if the indenter. So, the following should work ok \setupindenting[medium] \setuplines[indenting=no] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=yes] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=odd] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=even] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines -- - 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 - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] [BUG] unic-032.tex 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS definition wrong
\textellipsis usually expands to \cdots and that's fine, but
\textellipsis shouldn't be used in unic-032.tex for 0x2026 HORIZONTAL
ELLIPSIS, as this codepoint is for a symbol of dots on the base-line,
not in the center. I've posted about this previously, but got no
response. Anyway, I've attached a patch that fixes the problem. I
don't know if using \dots instead is the best solution, though, so
further discussion may be necessary?,

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt to XML?
At 01:40 PM 7/19/2005, you wrote: Brooks Moses wrote: The other alternative I know of for doing math in XML is embedding bits of LaTeX code within the XML. Since most conversion to non-PDF formats involves converting the math to bitmap images anyway (or, at least, any conversion to HTML for the web does!), I don't think that's really complicating things much. It's certainly possible in theory to embed LaTeX-coded equations in ConTeXt, and there's a small bit of comment on this on the Wiki. In practice, it may take a bit of coding to make work, but the amount won't be excessive. there is a math module (m-math) and a new implementation of that (m-newmat) which does quite some ams math; It does some, yes, though not (yet) the multiline alignment parts that I need. i have no problem with adding more code but each time i ask for specs, nothing comes up -) Yeah, I know. The specs for what I need are I've got this pile of equations written in LaTeX with the AMSmath package, and I'd like to be able to copy them back and forth between LaTeX and ConTeXt without needing to edit them. I'm slowly working on reducing that to something that's actually useful as specifications (and as some code), and I hope to get some of that to you within the next few months or so. - Brooks ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Paragraph internal graphic/layout inquiry.
Hmm, I'm not sure how to try out this 'preliminary module' --- looks like there is a sample included, but perhaps it could be spelled out for me (and anyone else who doesn't know how to proceed).

Re: [NTG-context] Paragraph internal graphic/layout inquiry.
You can comment out the line
\doifnotmode{demo}{\endinput}
There is probably also an invocation of TeX with a command line option
which sets the mode.
