Re: [NTG-context] Unicode mathematics in ConTeXt
Dear gang,
Ok, I've made some progress:
1. tex-gyre etc. *do* support Unicode mathematics, but the version of
ConTeXt I was using had produced the wrong encoding in the pdf output. For
example, U+1D4D2 (퓒) in the input was being mapped to U+2D4D2 in the
output.
Updating to the latest beta appears to have fixed this issue.
2. tex-gyre etc. appears to be missing some superscript characters, e.g.,
ⁿ (U+207F).
3. New example:
===
\setupbodyfont
[cambria,12pt]
% [pagella,12pt]
% [times,12pt]
% \starttext
\startTEXpage
\def\ANTI{{^{\rm nt}}}
\def\ANTIU{{^{\rm ⁿᵗ}}}
\def\CATCA{$\cal \bf C\ANTI$}
\def\CATCAU{$퓒\ANTIU$}
퓒 \CATCA \CATCAU
\stopTEXpage
% \stoptext
===
\CATCAU and \ANTIU use Unicode characters and superscripts directly,
instead of the old TeX method.
4. Issues. In the pdf output of \CATCAU:
i) Why does ConTeXt make the second superscript larger than the first?
ii) If one copies the text of the pdf output to an editor - even this
email client - the second superscript moves to a new line:
퓒 ⁿ
t
Why does this happen? Is this a bug?
5. Here is what we want: 퓒 ⁿᵗ
What is the proper or best way to get a character-superscript combination
in ConTeXt whose output can be copied and pasted to an editor and give the
correct result? What am I missing?
Thank you in advance.
Best wishes
Idris

Re: [NTG-context] XML xmldoif struggle!
Hi Aditya, The ConTeXt team did a great job in writing the manual xml-mkiv.pdf, but I think it is not meant for a beginner. Its contents is rather overwhelming when trying it for the first time. For me, I don't use luatex a lot, so that adds to the difficulty of trying it out.

[NTG-context] Reading XML with lua
Hi, I’ m finally at a point where I can read an XML file look at it and write it back. Right now I have two problems: 1. There are many empty entries in the table. This makes processing the file a little tedious since I have to filter the real entries. 2. Some entries contain leading and trailing whitespace and linkebreaks. These are the result of formatting the XML file. Shouldn't strip_cm_and_dt take care of them? Or do I use that incorrectly? I have included my lua file and an example xml. You can run it with mtxrun —script p.lua Greetings Axel doclist.xml Description: XML document p.lua Description: Binary data ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] \xmlloadfile not longer defined?
Hi,
according to xml-mliv.pdf there is a command
\xmlloadfile
But I get:
tex error > tex error on line 168 in file
/Users/axel/Documents/Text/Dokumente_ConTeXt/Prozessbeschreibung/prozess-style-buffer.tex:
! Undefined control sequence
l.168 \xmlloadfile
{doclist.xml}{doclist}{}
and grep does not find it.
\xmlload
works.
Greetings Axel

[NTG-context] tex.month can't be overridden like tex.day and tex.year
Dear list,
in the following document I can set the date as seen by LuaTeX so the
date functions use a different date:
---
\starttext
\ctxlua{tex.year=1980; tex.month=1; tex.day=15}
% Taken from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date,
% outputs 15 may 1980
\date[m=1][day,~,{\monthshort\normalmonth},~,year]
% outputs January 15, 1980
\ctxlua{context.date{m=tex.month};}
\stoptext
---
This works for all parts of the date (even the weekday), except the
month. I've looked through the core-con.lua and found nothing that would
explain this (or what I'd need to change), as the tex.month is properly set.
Best regards
Tristan
