Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
After some debugging, the example code I offered above seems to work, with
minor adjustments:
\begingroup
\let\loc\loctextloc
\currentbtxloctext
\btxcomma
\endgroup
Thanks again for all the help!

Thank you for the explanation. It's always interesting to hear about what
goes on under the hood.

I have noticed that the top bar of square root signs don't seem to connect
properly with the angled part. This is visible with multiple fonts (some
make it more obvious than others) at various zoom levels (I'm using Okular
on Linux but other pdf viewers show the same - also on Windows). I've no
idea if this is visible in print since I don't print the pdfs. The effect
is also reproducible with the wiki version of context.

Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
Okay. So using this example as a template, I'd like to do the following:
- define a general-purpose \loc macro that can be invoked in the main
text (i.e., outside of citations) in the usual way; this one would
correspond to \WhateverB above and would not remove punctuation preceding
the macro.
- separately define a \loctextloc macro that accepts the same input as
\loc, but conditionally removes preceding punctuation based on variables
set outside of this macro during the citation process (e.g.,
\btxsblshorthandbeforetextloc); this would correspond to \WhateverA above.
- in the macro for typesetting the loctext btx parameter, redefine \loc
to do what \loctextloc does, and then invoke \currentbtxloctext so that the
\loc invocations it contains will be expanded like \loctextloc, as follows:
\begingroup
\def\loc\loctextloc
\currentbtxloctext
\btxcomma
\endgroup
Is this a ConTeXt-friendly way to do this? I'm attempted this now, but I
have some errors to debug, and I'd like to know if this is even a feasible
direction before I continue.

[NTG-context] Bad linebreak in figure caption
Hi!
The caption "FOO" runs into the right figure's caption:
\setuplayout [width=18.4cm]
\setuptolerance [verytolerant, stretch] %% even with stretch
\starttext
\startplacefigure
\startfloatcombination
\startplacefigure [title=Unexpectedly unnecessary FOO-BAR whatever]
\framed[width=.4\textwidth]{}
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefigure [title={Lorem ipsum dolor siit amet}]
\framed[width=.4\textwidth]{}
\stopplacefigure
\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
Why does ConTeXt not break the line between "unnecessary" and "FOO"?
How to kindly persuade it to do so?

Thanks (again). ConTeXt is always full of ressource ! I did not know we could
do this, even if I realized now that there is a similar example in the wiki.
For the list, in case in the future this would be useful for another user,
below is the complete minimal example using this approach.
% - Minimal working example :
\setuppapersize[S5][S5]
\enablemode[Professor]
\defineblock[Complement]
\setupblock[Complement][
before={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\setupheadertexts[]\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]},
after={\page[yes]\setuppagenumber[state=start]}]
\starttext
% Let's process the summaries ;
\beginComplement[Two]
Last course, we have seen A.
\endComplement
\beginComplement[Three]
Last course, we have seen B….
\endComplement
\beginComplement[Three]
Last course, we have seen C….
\endComplementThree
\beginComplement[Four]
Last course, we have seen D….
\endComplementFour
\beginComplement
and E !
\endComplementFour
% summaries: end ;
Let's begin course 1.
This is course 1 : a lot of pages here about A!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 2.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Two]
}
This is course 2 : a lot of pages here about B and C!
\page[yes]
Let's begin course 3.
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Three]
}
This is course 3 : a lot of pages here about D... !
\doifmode{Professor} {
\useblocks[Complement][Four]
}
The course 4 !
\stoptext
% - Minimal working example : end
