Re: [NTG-context] Hebrew punctuation with SBL Hebrew
In your "broken" example, the patah below the het is being moved to the
right rather than staying under the middle of the het? But the shift to the
right is the correct behavior for furtive patah and should be expected.

Re: [NTG-context] error with sbl bibliography on latest LMTX
Sorry, these are definitely errors on my part. The first one ("invalid
parent sbl:list:title:unpublished for sbl:list:title:thesis,
sbl:list:title:unpublished defined too") was thankfully an easy fix; I just
had to move \definebtx[sbl:\s!list:title:unpublished] before
\definebtx[sbl:\s!list:title:thesis]. I've now pushed this change to the
repo at https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl.
The second error ("Undefined control sequence \currentbtxloctext") is
unfortunately more puzzling. In an effort to preserve backward
compatibility with biblatex usage, I focused on implementing citations in
the SBL style using \autocite, \inlinecite, \parencite, and \footcite
commands, and I neglected to see if the ConTeXt \cite command would work as
expected.
The \currentbtxloctext macro is used for handling more complicated
situations regarding volume, part, page number, etc. citations; for the
purposes of your MWE (and for most citations) a righttext with the page
number citation should also work just fine, so the lack of a loctext
parameter in the \cite command shouldn't be a problem. The
\currentbtxloctext macro is defined in most of the btx:sbl:cite setups in
publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, always via the command
```
\def\currentbtxloctext{\btxparameter{loctext}}
```
The default value of this parameter and similar ones should be \empty, per
the \definebtx[sbl] command in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi:
```
\definebtx
[sbl]
[
...
lefttext=\empty, % empty by default
altloctext=\empty, %empty by default
loctext=\empty, %empty by default
righttext=\empty, % empty by default
punct=\empty, % trailing punctuation (empty by default)
...
]
```
If I've coded this correctly, then the loctext parameter should default to
\empty when you do not specify it for your \cite command. This seems to be
the case when you first invoke the \cite command (i.e., in the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup).
Here is the problem: if you invoke the btx:sbl:cite:inline setup from
inside the btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup, it seems that the loctext parameter
is no longer accessible, and thus, it does not get defined. If I patch the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup as follows, then I no longer get the "Undefined
control sequence \currentbtxloctext" error:
```
% Inline footnote citation setup (with intelligent trailing punctuation
replacement)
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:footnote
\removeunwantedspaces
\doifinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\begingroup
\letbtxparameter{punct}\empty % don't pass the trailing punctuation down
to the inline setup
\let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is this
necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not
recognized within the footnote environment...
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{footnote}
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\def\currentbtxloctext{\btxparameter{loctext}}
\def\currentbtxaltloctext{\btxparameter{altloctext}}
\startfootnote
\Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}}% capitalize the first word in
the footnote (needed to render "Ibid." and "Idem" correctly)
% Add a closing period if there is no righttext
\doif{\btxparameter{righttext}}{\empty} {
\btxperiod
}
\stopfootnote
\endgroup
\doifnotinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\stopsetups
```
But I still get errors involving other macros that now appear to be
undefined—specifically, the \btxsblshorthandbeforeloctext macro (and,
likely, the \btxsblvolumebeforeloctext macro, as well). These are initially
defined as "no" in the SBL style module outside of the various citation
alternative setups, but they are conditionally redefined as "yes" in these
setups based on specific information in the bibliographic entry.
This pattern suggests a bigger problem. Do these variables and the \cite
parameters fall out of scope when we enter a footnote environment inside a
setup? In my code, I noticed that a macro defined outside of the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup was unrecognized within the footnote
environment unless I freshly redefined it:
```
\let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is this
necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not
recognized within the footnote environment...
```
Meanwhile, if I change the default citation alternative to "inline" or
"paren", then everything works:
```
\usebtxdataset[default][references.bib]
\setupbtx[dataset=default]
\usebtxdefinitions[sbl]
\setupbtx[sbl:cite][alternative=paren] % or alternative=inline
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
superior typographic output \cite[lefttext={e.g.}][taraborelli:beauty].
Therefore, the {\TEX}book mentions that the word
\quotation{shel\noligature{ff}ul} should indeed be rendered without the
ff-ligature \cite[righttext={p.~19}][knuth:texbook].
\placelistofpublications%[numbering=yes]
\stoptext
```
I realize that the above "fix" does not truly solve the
Re: [NTG-context] How to install the ConTeXt-SBL module?
While testing the module, I would copy the .mkiv and .lua files to my ConTeXt MkIV directory (on Windows with the TeXLive distribution, this was C:\texlive\2021\texmf-dist\tex\context\base\mkiv) and then run context --make to apply the updates. If there is some other preferred way to do this, I'm sure someone can correct me. Otherwise, I hope this helps!

Re: [NTG-context] How to override ConTeXt-SBL titles, to make all titles everywhere capitalized?
I've avoided forcing capitalization in too many places in the SBL rendering
because there are often language-specific (or, within English, even
dialect-specific) differences regarding what should be capitalized. I think
I already enforce capitalization of the first word, though:
```
\starttexdefinition titleemph #1
\emph{\Word{#1}}
\stoptexdefinition
\starttexdefinition titlequote #1
\quotation{\Word{#1}}
\stoptexdefinition
```
If you want the behavior you've described, you can change \Word to \Words
in the lines above (in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi). I probably will leave the code
as-is, however, as it seems safer to expect the user to provide the desired
capitalization in the BibTeX file.

Re: [NTG-context] Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
This actually seems to be rooted in a more general problem with the
publications support module. Why does invoking the fastsetup for citations
work within the default footnote setup, but not within endnotes flushed via
\placenotes[footnote]? If I modify the original MWE to use ConTeXt's
default btx rendering, I get the same error:
```
\startbuffer [bib]
@Book{clark1989,
author = {Clark, William},
title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico},
publisher = {New Mexico Magazine},
year = {1989},
address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico},
isbn = {9780937206126}
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[bib.buffer]
\setupbtx[dataset=default]
\setupnote[footnote][location=none] % commenting out this line will produce
footnotes that expand the citation correctly
\starttext
\input knuth
\cite[alternative=footnote][clark1989]
\page
\placenotes[footnote]
\startchapter[title=Bibliography]
\placelistofpublications
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
If it helps, the relevant code in publications support is the following
block in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:
```
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
\startfootnote
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
\stopfootnote
\stopsetups
```
The \fastsetup{btx:cite:entry} doesn't expand to anything if the footnote
is flushed as an endnote via \placenotes[footnote]. Does anyone have any
idea why this happens and how to fix it?

Re: [NTG-context] Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
A reasonable solution for the time being would be to check if the
righttext argument is empty, and add a final period in the footnote only if
it is not (with the assumption being that the user would provide
punctuation in any righttext for footnote/endnote citations). I've pushed
the following change to the GitHub repo, if you'd like to pull and use it:
```
% Inline footnote citation setup (with intelligent trailing punctuation
replacement)
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:footnote
\removeunwantedspaces
\doifinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\begingroup
\letbtxparameter{punct}\empty % don't pass the trailing punctuation down
to the inline setup
\startfootnote
\Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}}% capitalize the first word in
the footnote (needed to render "Ibid." and "Idem" correctly)
% Add a closing period if there is no righttext
\doif{\btxparameter{righttext}}{\empty} {
\btxperiod
}
\stopfootnote
\endgroup
\doifnotinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\stopsetups
```
This should allow your script to compile, but unfortunately, it doesn't
seem to make endnotes work, at least not when I try it. For some reason,
the macro \Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}} is expanding to nothing
inside the \startfootnote ... \stopfootnote environment. I have no idea why
this is happening, so any ideas are appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
Joel,
You may not have done anything wrong; this may be an issue with
ConTeXt-SBL. In my code for the btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup in
publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I added a comment to this effect:
```
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:footnote
\removeunwantedspaces
\doifinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\begingroup
\letbtxparameter{punct}\empty % don't pass the trailing punctuation down
to the inline setup
\let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is this
necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not
recognized within the footnote environment...
\startfootnote
\Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}}% capitalize the first word in
the footnote (needed to render "Ibid." and "Idem" correctly)
% Add a closing period, unless the righttext ends with punctuation
\doifendswithpunctelse{\btxparameter{righttext}} {
\removeunwantedspaces
} {
\removeunwantedspaces
\btxperiod
}
\stopfootnote
\endgroup
\doifnotinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\stopsetups
```
I define the \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse macro earlier in the module.
Initially, when I tried to invoke this macro within the \startfootnote ...
\stopfootnote environment (to conditionally add a period at the end of a
footnote citation if it does not have a righttext ending with punctuation),
I got the same error you got, but for \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse. I
wasn't sure why this was happening, so I tried defining a new
\doifendswithpunctelse macro. Unfortunately, based on your e-mail, it looks
like this doesn't actually fix the problem.
Any help from other developers would be appreciated here! Unfortunately, I
don't have a MWE replicating the problem on hand at the moment.

Re: [NTG-context] Why are back-to-back \autocite commands not working in ConTeXt-SBL?
That may work with something like
```
\cite[loctext={{2},{2}}][{na2006,clark1989}]
```
or
```
\autocite[{{\loc[2]},{\loc[2]}}]{{na2006,clark1989}}
```
(I know that the ConTeXt \cite command supports multicites with
comma-separated entries, but I forget exactly what the expected syntax
looks like.)

Re: [NTG-context] Why are back-to-back \autocite commands not working in ConTeXt-SBL?
Additionally, if you want to cite page numbers, the key to use in
ConTeXt-SBL is "loctext". (I was not aware of an "extra" key when I was
developing the module.) So, you should be able to make the ConTeXt-style
\cite command work as follows:
```
\cite[loctext=2][na2006]
```
I hope this helps, too!

Re: [NTG-context] Why are back-to-back \autocite commands not working in ConTeXt-SBL?
Joel,
Thanks for mentioning this! I think I've run into the same issue before,
but I wasn't sure how I should go about fixing it, so this might be a good
place to get suggestions from others.
The \autocite, \inlinecite, \parencite, and \footcite helper commands are
intended to handle trailing punctuation intelligently (in order to do
things like move punctuation after a footnote citation before the footnote
marker), so they treat the next character after the command as a "hidden"
parameter. This works as expected if the next character is a punctuation
character or something like a \blank command, but if it's something like a
\section command (or another \autocite command, as you've discovered), then
this causes problems.
That said, I think you should be able to get your ConTeXt to compile if you
follow your \autocite command with punctuation or some form of whitespace
(which is why a double newline works, as you've discovered, while a single
newline does not).
I'd like to keep the intelligent trailing punctuation adjustment feature if
possible, but this problem definitely needs to be fixed. If anyone has any
suggestions, I welcome them! My hope is that this can be resolved with a
simple check.

Re: [NTG-context] Displaying names in Chicago-Turabian "note" style
Joel,
I've attempted to incorporate most of these features for the SBL citation
style (which derives most of the same rules from Chicago) for ConTeXt. You
can use my code in https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl as a template
for now, if you'd like; we're still waiting for the code to be incorporated
into a future ConTeXt update. Regarding the specific features you described:
(1) The rules for first name-last name authorconversions and et al. limits
for inline citations (i.e., ones in the text/footnotes, but not in the
bibliographic list) can be implemented using the general
\definebtx[chicagonum:\s!cite] command. In publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I do this as
follows:
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!cite]
[sbl]
[\c!alternative=footnote, % by default, SBL uses footnote citation format
(defined below)
\c!otherstext={\btxspace\btxlabeltext{others}}, % use et al. for
truncated author / editor list
\c!etallimit=3, % don't use et al. for 3 or fewer authors
\c!etaldisplay=1, % but if there are > 3, then only list the first
explicitly
\c!etaloption=last,
\c!authorconversion=\v!normal, % by default, use normal name order for
in-text citations
...
]
(2) SBL also uses short-form citations for inline citations after the first
one. To make these work, it ended up being easiest to create distinct
\fastsetups for an "inlineshort" style. Here is how I handled the citation
of the author in such instances in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi :
\starttexdefinition btx:sbl:inlineshort:author
\btxdoif{author} {
% If the useidem option is set and this author matches the previously
cited author, then just print "idem";
% otherwise, print the author/editor's last name
\doifelse{\btxparameter{useidem}} {\v!yes} {
\texdefinition{btx:sbl:doifsamefoundnameauthorelse}{\currentbtxtag}{\getvariable{btx:sbl}{previousinlinetag}}
{
\btxlabeltext{sbl:idem}
} {
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
}
} {
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
}
\btxcomma
}
\stoptexdefinition
(3) I haven't implemented support for ibid. tracking (it's on a wishlist
that I sent to Hans and Alan, as it would best be handled by changes to the
core publication support module), so I'm afraid I can't help you on that at
the moment. There is some placeholder code in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi for
handling this when ibid. tracking is eventually implemented, so you might
be able to use that as a template.
(4) To get the "inverted first author" authorconversion working, I had to
create new authorconversions for this. You can find this in the updated
publ-imp-author.mkvi file in my GitHub repo:
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
Then, in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, I invoke this setup in the \btxsetup for
citations in the bibliographic list as follows:
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!list:author]
[sbl:\s!list]
[\c!authorconversion=invertedfirst,
\c!separator:names:4={\btxcomma\btxlabeltext{and}\space}] % between only
2 names
I hope this helps!

Thanks for correcting that, Wolfgang. I must have added the other \fi

Re: [NTG-context] xml processing: if elseif else / switch case
I believe \orelse might be what you want. It works with most \if... macros, and it avoids nesting of \doifelse constructs. Here's an example, which I use in conditionally removing preceding punctuation if any other keys are defined before a specific one in an assignment: ``` % If any of the preceding keys was specified, then replace any preceding punctuation with a space % and typeset the number with its CSL abbreviation, followed by a comma \ifdefined\btxsbllocvol \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocno \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocpt \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocp \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocn \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocfig \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocop \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocbk \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocep \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocchap \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocv \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocfol \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocfrag \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocpl \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsblloccol \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocl \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocsv \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \orelse\ifdefined\btxsbllocsec \removeunwantedspaces\removepunctuation\btxspace \fi \fi ``` Joey On Thu, Dec 9, 2021, 3:19 AM Denis Maier via ntg-context wrote: > Hi, > > > > I was wondering whether we have tests similar to «if-else if-else» or > «switch case» in context’s xml processing.

[NTG-context] Initial release of SBL bibliographic rendering and biblio wishlist
A while ago, I mentioned in a thread on the mailing list that I was working
on a new bibliographic rendering for the SBL citation style. After
additional testing and implementation of various features (e.g., an
authorconversion that inverts the first author and prints all subsequent
authors in normal order, an author-title sort order for bibliographic
entries, support for shorthands/abbreviations, support for Citation Style
Language locators, and support for biblatex-style citation macros that
intelligently move punctuation that follows them). While optimizations for
performance, simplifications of the code, and new feature additions are
still desirable, the module is in working condition and can now be
incorporated in a future ConTeXt update. The new .lua and .mkvi files for
the SBL rendering, updated publ-aut.lua and publ-imp-author.mkvi files, and
some new code intended to be incorporated into publ-ini.lua and
publ-ini.mkiv can all be found in project GitHub repo at the
https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl.
While I worked on this module, Denis Maier (who provided valuable feedback
and suggestions throughout) and I put together a wish list of new features
we would like to see implemented in the publications support core modules.
We put together the list with Hans and Alan in mind, but any help is
appreciated! The list follows:
- Probably the most urgent need is for field inheritance mappings
through crossrefs to be fixed. These should be customizable in
bibliographic specification .lua files (e.g., publ-imp-sbl.lua), or at the
very least, they should follow the pattern of biblatex. As it is currently
implemented, field inheritance seems to map any field from the
cross-referenced entry to a field *of the same name* in the current
entry if it doesn't have a field of this name already. But this causes
serious problems when one needs to check if an entry has a given field
(such as "shorthand") at all; specifically, the \btxdoif macro will execute
its argument if the current entry *or any entry it cross-references*
contains a field with that name. What we want is a more disambiguated
mapping of inherited fields: for many common entry types (such as @book,
@collection, @reference, @proceedings, and @inbook, @incollection,
@inreference, and @inproceedings), biblatex maps the title field of the
cross-referenced entry to a different-named field in the lower-level entry
(e.g., maintitle -> booktitle -> title, maineditor -> bookeditor -> editor,
etc.).
- A mechanism for setting default field values (e.g., "pagination",
"options") by category in the .lua file for a given specification. (In the
SBL spec, for instance, an entry of category @ancienttext or @classictext
should have options={skipbib=true} by default.) If the user actually
specifies this field in an entry, then the default value would be
overwritten.
- If it hasn't been done already, the \btxdoifelsecitedone macro defined
in the cont-new.mkiv file in https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl
should be implemented in publ-ini.lua and publ-ini.mkiv.
- Related to the previous entry, the ability to remove existing entry
tags from the "collected" or "tobesaved" lists defined in publ-ini.lua.
This would allow us to override the usual list registry rules of \cite
based on the values of, say, an entry's category, "type" field or "options"
field.
- General support for the useauthor, useeditor, usetranslator, skipbib,
and skipbiblist entry options from biblatex. These could be implemented as
citation-level btx options (currently, useauthor already is implemented for
the SBL style).
- Support for disambiguation in "author" citations made with the "name"
authorconversion. Publications support already allows us to map different
versions of the same name (e.g., "John Doe" and "J. Doe" to a single value.
But ideally, the publications support module should also check if surnames
are shared by distinct authors, and if so, it should then check for
distinct first and middle initials, and then distinct full names, until it
finds a difference. The shortest distinct renderings should then be used
for the "name" authorconversion. Different bibliographic renderings have
different rules for this, so implementations of these different rules
(detailed at
https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#disambiguation)
would be ideal.
- General support for *ibidem* (same entry), *idem* (same author), and *op.
cit.* (same title) tracking in the publ-ini module. These could be
implemented with default settings that could be overridden as needed in
individual specifications. Following biblatex, the user should be able to
specify yes/no "ibidtracker", "idemtracker", and "opcittracker" options via
\setupbtx. The publ-ini.mkiv file already defines macros like
\btxdoifsameaspreviouscheckedelse,
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!

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.

Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
I was afraid that might be the problem. I've described some of the intended
purpose of this code near the end of the "Checking for a macro in a string
without expanding it" thread on the mailing list, but I will get into more
detail here. I'm working on a ConTeXt implementation of citation style
language (CSL) locators, particularly for the SBL citation rendering
(although the code could easily be adapted for use in general or with other
bibliographic renderings). This would allow for a consistent,
language-sensitive syntax that could be used within citations or in any
part of a text and could accommodate changes in bibliographic style without
requiring the user to reformat all their page number citations. In SBL
style, for instance, volume, part, and page numbers are not prefixed by
abbreviations like "vol.", "pt." and "p.", but in other styles, they might
be. The locator syntax
```
\loc[vol=33,pt=1,p=86]
```
would be defined in the SBL rendering file to output
```
33.1:86
```
while in some other style, it might be defined to output
```
vol. 33, pt. 1, p. 86
```
To accommodate the use of these macros within citations, I've added
"loctext" (locator text) and "altloctext" (alternate locator text)
arguments to the set of parameters used by the \cite macro, because in some
bibliographic categories, different locators can be specified for different
parts of a citation (e.g., one for a passage in an ancient text and another
for the book reproducing it), and therefore cannot just be specified in the
"righttext" parameter. So now we can do something like
```
\cite[lefttext={See},altloctext={1.3},loctext={8:223},righttext={for
further details}][clementinehomilies]
```
to get
See *The Clementine Homilies* 1.3 (*ANF *8:223) for further details.
or
```
\cite[lefttext={See},loctext={\loc[p=8]},righttext={; but there are also
contradictory statements, e.g. \loc[p=12].}][Doe:Title]
```
to get
See Doe, *Title*, 8; but there are also contradictory statements, e.g. 12.
The main problem is determining when to include a comma before printing the
"loctext" and when not to include one. In the first example above, we don't
want a comma between *ANF* and 8:223 (SBL style does not add a comma
between a multivolume set abbreviation and a volume number), but in the
second example, we do want one between *Title *and 8. Similarly, we want to
remove the comma if the first locator in the loctext is a section marker
(§) or paragraph marker (¶). This is why I want to check the beginning of
the \currentloctext macro for the presence of a volume number (a number
followed by a colon), a section mark, or a paragraph mark.
While storing the locator parameters as btx parameters would allow for
another solution to this problem, it would complicate defining the \loc
macro in a way that would be suitable outside of citations or for multiple
uses in the same citation (notice how a second \loc invocation occurs in
the righttext of the second example above). Parsing the output of \loc
seemed like the simplest solution, but as you've pointed out, it has its
own difficulties. I'm inclined to try one of the TeX-based solutions you
describe above to avoid complicating other things, but if my description of
the intended use gives you any better ideas, please suggest them!
Thanks again!

Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
All right, I think I've solved the expansion problem I described before: to
ensure that the first input is expanded when it is passed to Lua, I have to
pass it as [==[#1]==], not "#1". But the updated MWE below still does not
seem to work, as the \DoIfPrefixElse macro is printing "NOP" instead of
"YES":
```
\starttexdefinition loc [#1]
\doifassignmentelse{#1} {
% if an assignment, then parse and format accordingly
\getparameters[loc][#1]
% Was a section number specified?
\doifdefined{locsec} {
§ \locsec
}
} {
% otherwise, just print the input as-is
#1
}
\stoptexdefinition
\def\DoIfPrefixElse#1#2{\ctxlua{commands.doifelse(string.find([==[#2]==],"^"..[==[#1]==]))}}
\def\currentbtxloctext{\loc[sec=31]}
\starttext
\currentbtxloctext\blank
\DoIfPrefixElse{§}{\currentbtxloctext}{YES}{NOP}
\stoptext
```
Indeed, if I add a simple \doifelse equality check, it looks like the value
I expect is not the same as what the macro produces, even though they look
identical:
```
\starttexdefinition loc [#1]
\doifassignmentelse{#1} {
% if an assignment, then parse and format accordingly
\getparameters[loc][#1]
% Was a section number specified?
\doifdefined{locsec} {
§ \locsec
}
} {
% otherwise, just print the input as-is
#1
}
\stoptexdefinition
\def\DoIfPrefixElse#1#2{\ctxlua{commands.doifelse(string.find([==[#2]==],"^"..[==[#1]==]))}}
\def\currentbtxloctext{\loc[sec=31]}
\starttext
§ 31\blank%the raw text we expect
\currentbtxloctext\blank%the text as produced by the macro
\doifelse{\currentbtxloctext}{§ 31}{YES}{NOP}\blank% should output YES,
but doesn't
\DoIfPrefixElse{§}{\currentbtxloctext}{YES}{NOP}\blank% should output
YES, but doesn't
\stoptext
```
What am I missing here?

Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
Thanks! Invoking string.find(str,"^"..pre) is certainly much easier. This
sort of thing would be a nice general-purpose helper function. Denis Maier
and I should have a "wish list" of desired helpers and features (mostly
related to bibliographies/publication support) ready for you (and Alan)
sometime soon.
But for now, it looks like I still need to work out errors that arise when
I pass a macro as the "str" input to be searched. I've defined a \loc macro
that accepts an assignment and outputs a formatted string, and later, I
want to check if this macro (after it has been fully expanded) starts with
a certain prefix. A minimal (non-)working example follows:
```
\starttexdefinition loc [#1]
\doifassignmentelse{#1} {
% if an assignment, then parse and format accordingly
\getparameters[loc][#1]
% Was a section number specified?
\doifdefined{locsec} {
§ \locsec\btxcomma
}
} {
% otherwise, just print the input as-is
#1
}
\stoptexdefinition
\def\DoIfPrefixElse#1#2{\ctxlua{commands.doifelse(string.find("#2","^".."#1"))}}
\def\currentbtxloctext{\loc[sec=31]}
\starttext
\DoIfPrefixElse{§}{\currentbtxloctext}{YES}{NOP}
\stoptext
```
Lua is throwing an "invalid escape sequence near '"\l'" error, which is
presumably because the macro \loc[sec=31] is not being expanded. How do I
fix this?
Thanks!

[NTG-context] Checking for a Unicode prefix of a Unicode string
I wasn't aware of a general-purpose "doifstartswith" macro in ConTeXt (the \doifnextcharelse macro only works one character at a time, and the \doifinstring macros may capture substrings that are not prefixes), and I'd like to develop one for something I'm working on. I've been trying to do this in Lua, as that seemed like the most natural approach. Normally, something like this would work fine as a foundation: ``` function isprefix(prefix, str) if string.sub(str, 1, string.len(prefix)) == prefix then return true end return false end ``` Unfortunately, if I want to check for prefixes that include two-byte characters like § and ¶, then the positions and string lengths that I specify no longer correspond to the actual byte offsets and lengths that Lua uses. I'm aware of the utf8 plugin that was intended to address this issue, but the following code also isn't working: ``` function sbl.isprefix(prefix, str) -- lua is devious and measures string length in bytes, not chars, -- so we can't just use string.sub and string.len as we normally would. local i = utf8.offset(str, 1) local j = utf8.offset(str, utf8.len(prefix) + 1) - 1 if string.sub(str, i, j) == prefix then return true end return false end ``` The only other detail that may be relevant is that I'm passing a macro as the "str" input. But this should be expanded when the Lua code is manipulating it, right? I'm sure there's something obvious that I'm doing wrong, but I've been trying to get this to work for at least a couple hours now, and I don't know what else to try. If there is a simple fix to my Lua code or an existing ConTeXt macro that will get the job done, I'd appreciate it!

[NTG-context] \doifanydefinedelse, \doifallundefinedelse
I was checking the "Branches and Decisions" wiki entry at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Branches_and_Decisions, and I saw that ConTeXt has a useful \doifalldefinedelse macro that checks a comma-separated list of macro names and proceeds according to whether or not all of the macros with those names are defined. I was curious as to whether or not there is also a \doifanydefinedelse (or, equivalently, a \doifallundefinedelse) macro that would check if *any *of the macros with names in the comma-separated list is defined (or, equivalently, if all of them are undefined). I don't see any mention of such a macro on the wiki page, so I wanted to ask: has something like this already been implemented, and if not, is there a simple way to do a check like this? This functionality would be useful for performing some checks on a key-value assignment, and passing a comma-separated list to a macro would be much cleaner than doing a bunch of nested if-else blocks.

Re: [NTG-context] Checking for a macro in a string without expanding it
I'm not sure if my mind is twisted enough! I can follow how Jairo's answer
works, and that does what I need it to, but it's not as clear to me what
the last two TeX-only approaches are doing at a low level.
Perhaps more importantly, I should clarify that for my purposes, the
\MyOuter macro is the \currentbtxrighttext macro, which is defined in a
separate module that I'd prefer not to modify. I want to be able to detect
and parse the parameters of a \loc macro that a user can specify in a
citation as follows:
```
\cite[lefttext={See}, righttext={\loc[vol=8,p=223] for further
details}][clementinehomilies]
```
Because the locator parameters may need to be parenthesized or formatted
differently depending on the category of the bibliography entry, they
should be typeset separately from the plain part of the righttext. This is
why I'd like to be able to parse the parameters and then expand the \loc
macro itself as empty when the righttext is typeset.

[NTG-context] Checking for a macro in a string without expanding it
As the subject of this question suggests, this is really more of a question
about expansion control (a topic that is still a bit obscure to me).
Suppose I have a macro \inner that expects a single argument or an
assignment of parameters in brackets. For my purposes, I don't want this
macro to do anything when it is typeset, so I'll just define it as empty:
```
\def\inner[#1]\empty
```
Now suppose I have another macro \outer that invokes this macro with some
specific input and sets some plain text after it:
```
\def\outer{\inner[123] etc.}
```
What I'd like to do is parse the argument of \inner in \outer. I was hoping
that a string search in Lua would work, but I'm not having any luck. A
minimal (non)-working example is included below:
```
\def\inner[#1]\empty
\def\outer{\inner[123] etc.}
\startluacode
local userdata = userdata or {}
function userdata.parseinner(str)
local innerparams = ""
if string.find(str, "\\inner(%b[])") then
i, j = string.find(str, "\\inner(%b[])")
innerparams = string.sub(str, i+1, j-1) -- we just want the content
inside the brackets
end
context(innerparams)
return
end
\stopluacode
\def\parseinner#1{\ctxlua{userdata.parseinner([==[#1]==])}}
\starttext
Testing:\blank
\parseinner{\outer}
\stoptext
```
My problem is that when I pass \outer to the \parseinner macro, it gets
fully expanded, so there isn't anything left to match "\\inner%b[]". Is
there a way to expand \outer when I pass it to the \parseinner macro
without also expanding the \inner macro inside it? Or is there some other
preferred way of doing this?

Re: [NTG-context] Unusual error with \doifinstring in \startbtxrenderingdefinitions ... \stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
An alternative solution is to isolate the setting of the
autopunctuation btx option:
```
% Because some common punctuation characters are escaped in publ-ini.mkiv,
% we have to set this option separately
\pushcatcodetable
\setcatcodetable\ctxcatcodes
\setupbtx[sbl][autopunctuation={!,.:;?}]% undelimited list of trailing
punctuation to move before footnote citations
\popcatcodetable
```

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
If it helps with troubleshooting, I've also tried to do this with
\fastsetup instead of \texdefinition:
```
\expanded{\abbreviation[\currentbtxtag]{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:shorthand}}{
\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:listsubcite}}}
```
This also doesn't work, but I at least get a "Missing control sequence
inserted" error. The following MWE should reproduce the error (it modifies
the existing Chicago rendering, but since I couldn't figure out how to add
a shorthand field to the @book category in the chicago spec from within the
MWE, I just used the note field as a placeholder for it):
```

\startbuffer [bib]
@book{Author1:2016,

this throws a Missing control sequence inserted error

Re: [NTG-context] Unusual error with \doifinstring in \startbtxrenderingdefinitions ... \stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
Thanks for these replies! Adding \unexpanded or \protected before \def
didn't fix the problem, and surrounding the definition with \unprotect ...
\protect didn't work either. But surrounding it with \pushcatcodetable
\setcatcodetable\ctxcatcodes ... \popcatcodetable worked.
I've never seen these commands before, but I gather from the existing
documentation that the current catcode governs which characters are treated
as special when a buffer is being processed. So here, it looks like I'm
temporarily switching from some other catcode set (it looks like in
publ-ini.mkiv, \catcode\commentasciicode\othercatcode gets invoked
in \publ_set_publication, so perhaps that's what's happening?) to the
default ConTeXt catcodes and then back.
Thanks again!

Re: [NTG-context] Unusual error with \doifinstring in \startbtxrenderingdefinitions ... \stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
The test using \removepunctuation that you provided does what it should be doing (it produces 6 instances of "test-test" with the intervening punctuation mark in each case removed), but it doesn't do what I'm trying to do in the MWE above. I'm trying to take certain punctuation marks that follow the \autopuncttest macro and place them before it instead. Looking at the typo-chr .lua and .mkiv files, I see that there are \pushpunctuation and \poppunctuation methods in addition to the \removepunctuation method.

[NTG-context] Unusual error with \doifinstring in \startbtxrenderingdefinitions ... \stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
Hi,
I'm trying to define concise biblatex-style citation macros for a custom
bibliographic style specification with support for intelligent placement of
trailing punctuation, and I've encountered an unusual error. If I try to
define the macros within the btxrenderingdefinitions environment, then the
code for handling trailing punctuation with the \doifinstring and
\doifnotinstring macros fails in some cases. Specifically, it correctly
detects when the trailing punctuation is a period, comma, or semicolon, but
not when it is a colon, exclamation point, or question mark. The following
MWE reproduces the error:
```
\startbtxrenderingdefinitions[myspec]
\def\autopuncttest#1#2{%
\removeunwantedspaces%
\doifinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
\footnote{#1}%
\doifnotinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
}
\stopbtxrenderingdefinitions
\usebtxdefinitions[myspec]
\starttext
This works \autopuncttest{Footnote 1}, as does this \autopuncttest{Footnote
2}; and so does this \autopuncttest{Footnote 3}.\blank
But this one fails if defined in the bib spec \autopuncttest{Footnote
4}!\blank
And why does this one fail in the bib spec too \autopuncttest{Footnote
5}?\blank
\stoptext
```
Everything works as expected if the macro definition is outside of the
btxrenderingdefinitions
environment. But within the environment, do certain punctuation marks need
to be escaped in the second argument of \doifinstring? Or is this a bug?

Re: [NTG-context] Addition of authortitle sorttype for bibliographies
I'm not sure if this thread got lost back when I sent it, but I just wanted
to bump this thread again. The authortitle sort sequence detailed in the
previous e-mail is working as expected, and it may be a helpful addition to
the publ-aut.lua file for general use. In case the last e-mail was lost,
I've repeated the code below:
```
publications.sortmethods.authortitle = {
sequence = {
{ field = "author",default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "title", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "booktitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section (e.g., introduction, foreword, preface) of a
book or a review of a book
{ field = "maintitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section or volume in a multivolume collection
{ field = "volume",default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "part", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "date", default = "9998-13-32", unknown =
"-14-33" }, -- some specifications allow date instead of year, month,
day
{ field = "year", default = "9998", unknown = "" },
{ field = "month", default = "13", unknown = "14" },
{ field = "day", default = "32", unknown = "33" },
{ field = "index", default = "", unknown = "" },
},
}
```

Re: [NTG-context] Ibid. and idem support for bibliographies (and variable scope more generally)
Ah, I see. My implementation will mess up in that case. We may need methods
that keep track of whether a citation is made in a footnote or not. I'm not
sure how to implement that. Certainly, if we knew that all footnote
citations were being made with the alternative=footnote option, then that
probably make things easier, but in the case of a verbose footnote that
only features a citation at the end, it would likely be more convenient for
a user to use the inline alternative in the footnote, as you do in your
example.
Thanks for catching that!

Re: [NTG-context] Ibid. and idem support for bibliographies (and variable scope more generally)
Yes, I haven't added any code to check for the useibid or useidem options
in list citations; they are only used for in-text citations in the SBL
specification definition. The distinction between \setupbtx[sbl:\s!list]
and \setupbtx[sbl:\s!cite] should allow us to specify their options
separately. For list citations, we probably should add a "sameauthor"
option, with "rule" (draw a horizontal rule for repeated authors), "empty"
(leave a blank space the size of the "margin" option), and "ditto" (e.g., a
dumb quote sign, or "Idem") as potential values, since all three of these
options are currently supported in publ-imp-chicago.mkvi and
publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, but as far as I know, they always default to the "rule"
setup.

[NTG-context] Ibid. and idem support for bibliographies (and variable scope more generally)
Hi,
I've found a way to implement ibid. and idem support in the SBL
specification under development at https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl
(this e-mail essentially repeats my comments in
https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl/issues/5), but I'm not sure if my
solution is a recommended way to solve the problem, and I'm curious about
why the more straightforward approach doesn't work.
I've added useibid and useidem options for the \definebtx command (making
them language-dependent by adding them to mult-def.lua, which seems to be
how the other options have been implemented). Ideally, I'd like to follow
the pattern of the chicago:list:sameauthor setup and use a macro similar to
\btxdoifsameaspreviouselse. But since \btxdoifsameaspreviouselse relies on
the indexed structure of the bibliographic list to determine what the
"previous" entry is, it won't work for my purposes; I need to retrieve the
tag of the last entry passed to the \cite command.
I ended up making this work by initializing a global variable via
```
\setxvariables[btx:sbl][previousinlinetag=\empty]
```
in the publ-imp-sbl.mkvi file, resetting it at the end of each citation via
```
\setxvariables[btx:sbl][previousinlinetag=\currentbtxtag]
```
and checking it in the appropriate places via
```
getvariable{btx:sbl}{previousinlinetag}
```
I initially tried to do this with a simple macro \btx_sbl_previousinlinetag
defined in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi (in the same scope as the rest of the
specification), but attempting to reset it in the cite setups with \let or
\def didn't work. Why doesn't this work? Is the setup for a cite
alternative executed in its own scope in a way that would prevent me from
updating a variable defined in the scope of the rendering specification?
And is there a way to do this that is preferable to using global variables?
Thanks!
Joey

Re: [NTG-context] Addition of authortitle sorttype for bibliographies
Actually, since some categories (such as @review and @suppbook from
biblatex) do not necessarily have titles of their own, it may be best to
include a few other fields in the sort sequence to accommodate them. The
following sequence may be better:
```
publications.sortmethods.authortitle = {
sequence = {
{ field = "author",default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "title", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "booktitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section (e.g., introduction, foreword, preface) of a
book or a review of a book
{ field = "maintitle", default = "", unknown = "" }, --
if this is an untitled section or volume in a multivolume collection
{ field = "volume",default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "part", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "date", default = "9998-13-32", unknown =
"-14-33" }, -- some specifications allow date instead of year, month,
day
{ field = "year", default = "9998", unknown = "" },
{ field = "month", default = "13", unknown = "14" },
{ field = "day", default = "32", unknown = "33" },
{ field = "index", default = "", unknown = "" },
},
}
```
It is also worth noting that in order for the volume field to sort
properly, its values will have to be padded with leading zeroes; otherwise,
an entry with volume = {2} will be sorted after one with volume = {10}. To
accommodate this, specifications would need to remove the leading zeroes
when they typeset volume and part numbers.

[NTG-context] Addition of authortitle sorttype for bibliographies
Hi,
I've had to make another update to the general publications support code in
order to implement a feature of the SBL rendering. Denis Maier has opened
some issues on the context-sbl GitHub repo (
https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl) to offer some helpful
suggestions about needed features and bug fixes. One issue was that SBL
should order list entries by author and title. Thankfully, there is already
an authordate sortmethod defined in publ-aut.lua (probably to support the
Chicago rendering), so I was able to use it as a template for the
following authortitle sort sequence:
```
publications.sortmethods.authortitle = {
sequence = {
{ field = "author", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "title", default = "", unknown = "" },
{ field = "date", default = "9998-13-32", unknown =
"-14-33" }, -- some specifications allow date instead of year, month,
day
{ field = "year",default = "9998", unknown = "" },
{ field = "month", default = "13", unknown = "14" },
{ field = "day", default = "32", unknown = "33" },
{ field = "index", default = "", unknown = "" },
},
}
```
I added this to publ-aut.lua because publications.sortmethods.authoryear is
defined in that file, but if another location is more appropriate, then
feel free to let me know, and I can move it! Otherwise, if this looks okay
to include in a future update, then feel free to incorporate it!

[NTG-context] Exclude bibliographic entries from list even when cited with \cite
Hi, It's taken a couple weeks, but I nearly have a working bibliographic rendering for SBL style ready. I'm hosting the .lua and .mkvi files I have so far, as well as a test .bib and .tex file, on GitHub at https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl. The look of the rendering seems to be correct for all of the examples, so the last remaining tasks mostly concern some lower-level technical issues. Because of the way that SBL style renders entries that are contained in other works (e.g., a chapter in a book that is part of a multivolume collection), it seemed natural to accommodate this by allowing entries to have cross-references to other entries. The rendering process can then be handled through recursive subcitations with different alternatives. In general, I handle these subcitations with the \textcite command, so that "higher-level" entries are not added to the list when they are only subcited. An important guideline that I still have to implement works in the opposite direction: it says that entries in certain categories should not be added to the list, but the books or collections containing them should be. I think I could make this work for the subcitation using the \listcite or \cite command recursively. But is there a way to conditionally handle whether or not to add the entry to the list after I invoke the \cite command, or is this built into the \cite command at a low level? If I had to, I could define an \autocite command that does all of these checks first, but if it's possible to keep the common \cite command instead of forcing users to use a different command, that would be preferable. Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] Implementing a custom authorconversion for bibliographies
Looks like it was just a small oversight on my part; I had to make sure I
added a corresponding \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst setup for list
entries. Here's what finally works:
```
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
...
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
```
Thanks again, Hans!

Re: [NTG-context] Implementing a custom authorconversion for bibliographies
Good suggestion! I removed my changes to publ-aut.lua for now and tried
adding each of the two setups you described to publ-imp-author.mkvi (where
it seemed to fit best). But simply specifying
```
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!list:author]
[sbl:\s!list]
[\c!authorconversion=invertedfirst]
```
in my custom rendering file does not access the invertedfirst setup,
regardless of which of the two setups I use. Do I have to do something
different to access it?
Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] Implementing a custom authorconversion for bibliographies
All right, I figured out where I needed to make this change for it to take
effect. The relevant script is publ-aut.lua. The code I needed to change
was for the "oneauthor" function definition, which itself is located in the
"btxauthor" function definition. My changes are detailed below:
```
local function oneauthor(i,last,justone)
local author = split[i]
if index then
ctx_btxstartauthor(i,1,0)
elseif last then
ctx_btxstartauthor(i,1,0)
ctx_btxsetconcat(0)
if combiner == "invertedfirst" then
if i == 1 then
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant("inverted")
else
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant("normal")
end
else
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant(combiner)
end
else
local state = author.state or 0
ctx_btxstartauthor(i,max,state)
ctx_btxsetconcat(concatstate(i,max))
if combiner == "invertedfirst" then
if i == 1 then
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant("inverted")
else
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant("normal")
end
else
ctx_btxsetauthorvariant(combiner)
end
end
local initials = author.initials
if initials and #initials > 0 then
ctx_btxsetinitials() --
(concat(the_initials(initials,symbol)," "))
end
local firstnames = author.firstnames
if firstnames and #firstnames > 0 then
ctx_btxsetfirstnames() -- (concat(firstnames," "))
end
local vons = author.vons
if vons and #vons > 0 then
ctx_btxsetvons() -- (concat(vons," "))
end
local surnames = author.surnames
if surnames and #surnames > 0 then
ctx_btxsetsurnames() -- (concat(surnames," "))
end
local juniors = author.juniors
if juniors and #juniors > 0 then
ctx_btxsetjuniors() -- (concat(juniors," "))
end
if not index and i == max then
if split.others then
ctx_btxsetoverflow(1)
else
local overflow = #split - max
if overflow > 0 then
ctx_btxsetoverflow(overflow)
end
end
end
if combiner == "invertedfirst" then
if i == 1 then
ctx_btxsetup("inverted")
else
ctx_btxsetup("normal")
end
else
ctx_btxsetup(combiner)
end
ctx_btxstopauthor()
end
```
I'll admit that the addition of entire if-else blocks around whether or not
the combiner is a specific value may not be the best practice in terms of
future maintenance (especially if similar index-dependent
authorconversions are needed in the future). Alternatively, the
"btxauthor" function could populate a "combiners" array of length "max"
with a specific authorconversion for each author in the split; for most
authorconversions, all entries in this array would be the same, but for
authorconversions like "invertedfirst", the first entry would be different
from the rest. Then, the "oneauthor" function could just reference
combiners[i] instead of combiner.

[NTG-context] Implementing a custom authorconversion for bibliographies
Hi, I mentioned this in an earlier e-mail but thought that now might be a good time to describe this issue in detail. I'd like to define a new authorconversion that renders the first author in a list differently than the remaining authors in the list. Specifically, I'd like to use the "inverted" authorconversion for the first author and the "normal" authorconversion for the rest. In the newer bibl-bib.lua file, I can see what I might have to modify to accomplish this (I added the if combiner == "invertedfirst" block): ``` function authors.concat(author,combiner,what,settings) if type(combiner) == "string" then combiner = authors[combiner or "normal"] or authors.normal end local split = splitauthors(author) local setting = settings[what] local etallimit, etaldisplay, etaltext = 1000, 1000, "" if setting then etallimit = settings.etallimit or 1000 etaldisplay = settings.etaldisplay or etallimit etalltext = settings.etaltextor "" end local max = #split if max > etallimit and etaldisplay < max then max = etaldisplay end if combiner == "invertedfirst" then for i=1,max do if i == 1 then split[i] = authors.inverted(split[i],settings) else split[i] = authors.normal(split[i],settings) end end else for i=1,max do split[i] = combiner(split[i],settings) end end local result = bibtexconcat(split,settings) if max < #split then return result else return result .. etaltext end end ``` Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do anything. It's not clear to me how bibl-bib.lua and bibl-bib.mkiv are being used by the other publication support modules, if they're being used at all (publ-ini.mkiv doesn't appear to register it, anyway). Is there another file I'd have to change to make "invertedfirst" a working authorconversion? Is there a similar block of code in publ-ini.lua where I should be implementing this change instead?

[NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
I dealt with this issue at length in a separate thread (“Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list”) a couple months after you asked about this, so for the benefit of anyone who has been following this thread specifically, I’ll describe the solution I found here. There are (at least) a few commands defined in publ-imp-ini.mkiv that can help conditionally render author fields according to cite parameters rather than list parameters. The first, \btxflushauthornormal{author} (where author can be replaced by another name-type field, if I understand correctly), will flush the specified field according to the “normal” authorconversion. There are similar commands for \btxflushauthorname, \btxflushauthornormalshort, \btxflushauthorinverted, and \btxflushauthorinvertedshort, if you need a different conversion.If you also want to use other cite-specific name-rendering parameters, like etallimit, etaldisplay, and etaloption, then the \currentbtxciteauthorbyfield (which does not accept an argument and will only render the author field or any field in the author set) will do this. To handle citation alternative-dependent formatting, you can use the \currentbtxcitealternative as follows:```\doifelse {\currentbtxcitealternative} {entry} { % Normal short conversion for entry citations \btxflushauthornormalshort{author}} { % Normal conversion for list citations \btxflushauthornormal{author}}```Joey

Re: [NTG-context] Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list
Happy I could help! The \btxflushauthornormal command should handle the
authorconversion switch that you want. Just remember that if you need to
use different et al. settings in citations as well, you should use
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield!

Re: [NTG-context] Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list
Nevermind, it looks like there's an even more deliberate and succinct way
to handle this! In publ-ini.mkiv, the \currentbtxciteauthorbyfield command
shows how to print the author field mapped according to the cite style:
```
\unexpanded\def\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
{\begingroup
%\setbtxparameterset\s!cite\s!author
% the alternatives inherit from cite:author
% and APA distinguishes authoryears from authoryear ("and" vs. "&")
\setbtxparameterset\s!cite\currentbtxcitealternative
\clf_btxauthor
{\currentbtxdataset}%
{\currentbtxtag}%
{\currentbtxauthorfield}%
{%
combiner{\btxparameter\c!authorconversion}%
kind{cite}%
etallimit {\btxparameter\c!etallimit}%
etaldisplay {\btxparameter\c!etaldisplay}%
etaloption {\btxparameter\c!etaloption}%
symbol {\btxparameter{\c!stopper:initials}}%
}%
\relax
\endgroup}
```
The snippet above might offer some guidance on how to handle this problem
more generally, but for my specific use case, it suffices to invoke the
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield command:
```
\doifelse {\currentbtxcitealternative} {entry} {
% Normal order for in-text citations
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield
} {
% Inverted order for list citations
% TODO: need to print the first name inverted, with all subsequent
names in normal order
\btxflush{author}
}
```
I get the feeling that there are more relevant commands in publ-ini.mkiv
that are intended to help with this kind of thing, but I've just been
unaware of most of them. The existing bibliography documentation only
covers the tip of the iceberg!
Anyway, I realized that a couple months ago, Ágoston Volcz raised a similar
issue in another thread. I think this approach should solve that problem,
so when I get a chance, I can send an e-mail about that.

Re: [NTG-context] Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list
Okay, I've made some progress! Thankfully, the authorconversion rules can
be overridden using some of the methods defined in publ-ini.mkiv. I now
have something like this in my rendering's .mkvi file:
```
\doifelse {\currentbtxcitealternative} {entry} {
% Normal order for in-text citations
\btxflushauthornormal{author}
} {
% Inverted order for list citations
% TODO: need to print the first name inverted, with all subsequent
names in normal order
\btxflushauthorinverted{author}
}
```
This fixes the citation alternative-dependent authorconversion, but I still
have to do the same for the etallimit and etaldisplay settings, and
unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are similar commands for
overriding this locally.
Digging a bit more in publ-imp-chicago.lua and publ-imp-chicago.mkvi, I
notice that it deals with a similar problem for the "editor" field: if the
editor occurs in the "author" position (i.e., at the start of the citation,
which happens when a book has an editor but no author), then the
authorconversion should be inverted, but if the editor occurs after the
author position (which happens when a book also has an author), then its
authorconversion should be normalshort. The publ-imp-chicago.lua file
addresses this by specifying an "ineditor" set containing only the "editor"
field (essentially making it an alias to be used later), and then
publ-imp-chicago.mkvi defines a style specifically for this field. I could
solve the authorconversion, etallimit, and etaldisplay problems using an
"entryauthor" field, but is this actually the recommended way to do this?
Using this approach, I would have to have duplicate sets for nearly all
"author"-type fields to ensure that they have different formatting in entry
citations than they do in the list.

[NTG-context] Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list
Hi,
I'm trying to implement a custom bibliography rendering where in-text
citations (specifically, citations with alternative=entry) are not
identical to the entries in the bibliography list. Following a pattern I've
seen in publ-imp-chicago.mkvi, I've been able to implement most of the
features I'm interested in by using conditional formatting with a mode that
is specifically set for citations with the "entry" alternative. I'd also
like for author names in entry citations to be different author names in
list entries, in the following ways:
- In entry citations, authorconversion should be normal, while in list
entries, authorconversion should be inverted (more specifically, the first
name should be inverted, while all subsequent names should be in normal
order...but if this is too complicated, then it may be an issue for another
e-mail thread, and we can just focus on normal vs. inverted for now).
- In entry citations, "et al." should be used for any names after the
third name, while in list entries, all names should be printed in full.
I thought that the following settings would work:
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!list]
[sbl]
[\c!otherstext=,
\c!etallimit=,
\c!etaldisplay=,
\c!etaloption=,
\c!authorconversion=inverted] % TODO: need to print the first name
inverted, with all subsequent names in normal order
\definebtx
[sbl:\s!cite]
[sbl]
[\c!otherstext={\btxspace\btxlabeltext{others}}, % use et al. for
truncated author / editor list
\c!etallimit=3, % don't use et al. for 3 or fewer authors
\c!etaldisplay=3, %
\c!authorconversion=\v!normal] % by default, use normal name order for
in-text citations
But only the "list" settings seem to be used. I suspect this might be
because the setup for "entry" citations invokes \btxhandleciteentry and
therefore uses "list" settings everywhere except where I check modes for
conditional formatting. But is there a command or environment I can use to
change authorconversion locally, based on the current mode, in the helper
methods I've defined for rendering bibliography entries?
Thanks!
Joey

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Just continuing to talk my way through the inner workings of the ConTeXt
Publication modules. It looks like three "long" citation forms are defined
in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:
\startsetups btx:cite:listelement
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\ifx\currentbtxfirst\empty
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!empty}
\else
\texdefinition {\s!btx:\s!cite:inject} {
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxfirst
}
\fi
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:entry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:concat}
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:lefttext}
\btxhandleciteentry
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
\startfootnote
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
\stopfootnote
\stopsetups
Intuitively, I would expect btx:cite:listelement [why not
\s!btx:\s!cite:listelement?] to handle rendering a bibliographic entry for
the bibliography proper (i.e., the list typically placed at the end of a
document), while \s!btx:\s!cite:entry would handle in-text citations. The
third setup, \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote, simply renders the "entry"-style
citation in a footnote.
But as far as I can tell, the "listelement" setup is never used outside of
publ-imp-cite.mkvi. Only the "entry" setup appears to be used. Meanwhile,
the \btxcitereference and \btxhandleciteentry macros (invoked in these
setups) appear to be defined in publ-ini.mkiv:
\unexpanded\def\btx_cite_reference_inject
{\ifconditional\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\else
\dontleavehmode
\iftrialtypesetting \else
\ifx\currentbtxbacklink\empty
% can be made empty when combining author / year
\else\ifnum\currentbtxbacklink>\zerocount
\btx_cite_reference_inject_indeed
\settrue\c_btx_cite_reference_injected
\fi\fi
\fi
\fi}
...
\let\btxcitereference\btx_cite_reference_inject
...
\unexpanded\def\btxhandleciteentry
{\dontleavehmode
\begingroup
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{entry}%
\setbtxparameterset\s!cite\currentbtxcitealternative % needs checking
\btxcitereference
\btx_entry_inject
\endgroup}
My next step will be to figure out what these are doing, but I'm still not
sure if the module accommodates rendering in-text "entry" citations
differently than citations in the list.

Re: [NTG-context] Unicode normalization and Hebrew in ConTeXt
Thankfully, it looks like this was just a problem with my implementation of
the OpenType feature and not with ConTeXt's handling of it! (I worried that
it might be ConTeXt when I saw that XeLaTeX was handing the feature
correctly.) Hans graciously helped me identify the problem, and everything
looks good now!

Re: [NTG-context] Unicode normalization and Hebrew in ConTeXt
Shouldn't dlig automatically be enabled under the "hebrew" feature set? In
font-pre.mkiv, hebrew inherits from semitic-complete, which sets dlig=yes.
Still, if I explicitly add dlig, as in the following example, things
change, but they still aren't right:
```
\starttypescriptcollection[keteryg]
\starttypescript[serif][keteryg]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][file:../fonts/KeterYG/KeterYG-Medium.ttf][features=hebrew]
% all the necessary Hebrew features, including dlig
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[keteryg]
\definetypeface[keteryg][rm][serif][keteryg][default]
\stoptypescript
\stoptypescriptcollection
%Set up the main font:
\setupbodyfont[keteryg]
%Set up right-to-left alignment:
\setupalign[r2l]
%Explicitly add dlig (in case it wasn't there already):
\definefontfeature[plus-dlig][dlig=yes]

שֹׂבַע

שֹׁשַׁנִּים
עָשׂוֹר
מֹשֶׁה
שַׁלֹשׁ
\stoptext ``` In examples 1, 3, 4, and 6, the *holam *of the preceding
letter (which should have been stripped in the contextual substitution)
just seems to have been moved farther up. In fact, the output looks like it
would look if I turned off the reordercombining feature. (And indeed, if I
manually reorder the glyphs to the Hebrew Layout Intelligence order, then
the results look like they did when I just used the "hebrew" feature.)
I may have forgotten to attach the font file I was using for this test. If
that is the case, it is available at https://github.com/jjmccollum/Keter-YG.

Re: [NTG-context] Unicode normalization and Hebrew in ConTeXt
Hans,
Sorry to bring this up after over a year, but I just noticed something that
doesn't seem right. I implemented some contextual substitutions in my own
fork of the Keter YG Hebrew font (.ttf file attached) under the "dlig"
feature that should do the following two things:
1. If a *shin *with a *sin *dot (שׂ) is pointed with a *holam *(the
vowel point placed high and on the left), then the *shin*, *sin *dot,
and *holam *are combined into a single ligature that depicts the *sin *dot
and *holam *merged into a single point.
2. If a *shin *with a *shin *dot (שׁ) follows another letter pointed
with a *holam *(except for *vav*, which must be pointed with a *holam
haser*), then the shin and shin dot are replaced with a ligature that
moves the *shin* dot a bit to the right (so that it appears to be merged
with the preceding *holam*), and the combination of the preceding letter
and the actual holam is changed to just the preceding letter (thus
effectively stripping the old *holam*).
I've tested both of these features in FontForge, and they work as expected
there. Likewise, if I test them in the following XeLaTeX script, XeLaTeX
handles both rules correctly:
```
\documentclass{article}
%Set fonts and font features:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Path=../fonts/KeterYG/, UprightFont = *-Medium, Script=Hebrew,
Ligatures=Discretionary]{KeterYG} % I'm using a local copy of the attached
font
\begin{document}
שֹׂבַע
עָשׂוֹר
קֹשֶׁט
שֹׁשַׁנִּים
עָשׂוֹר
מֹשֶׁה
שַׁלֹשׁ
\end{document}
```
But in ConTeXt, only rule (1) above works as expected. Here is a minimal
(non-)working example:
```
\starttypescriptcollection[keteryg]
\starttypescript[serif][keteryg]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][file:../fonts/KeterYG/KeterYG-Medium.ttf][features=hebrew]
% use a local copy of the attached font, with all the necessary Hebrew
features (this includes dlig by default)
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[keteryg]
\definetypeface[keteryg][rm][serif][keteryg][default]
\stoptypescript
\stoptypescriptcollection
%Set up the main font:
\setupbodyfont[keteryg]
%Set up right-to-left alignment:
\setupalign[r2l]
\starttext
שֹׂבַע
עָשׂוֹר
קֹשֶׁט
שֹׁשַׁנִּים
עָשׂוֹר
מֹשֶׁה
שַׁלֹשׁ
\stoptext
```
In examples 3, 4, 6, and 7, the *holam *dot still appears before the *shin*
-with-merged-*shin*-dot-and-*holam *ligature, when it should be absent. (I
realize that it may be difficult to tell; in the last two examples, the
presence of two dots is easier to make out.)
Do you have any idea why this might be happening in ConTeXt? Does the glyph
reordering in font-imp-combining.lua take place before any OpenType
features in the font are applied?
Thanks again!

[NTG-context] Progressively encouraging page/column breaks at \blank with penalties
Hi,
I'm trying to implement a section break marker in a grid layout. At a
section break, two lines of space should separate the subsequent segments
of text (just plain paragraphs, in this case), and a symbol (in the example
below, "X") should be set in the middle of these two lines. For my
purposes, the section break symbol should never occur at the top of a page
or column, and it is more desirable to have a page or column end with the
section break symbol than to have a single orphaned line follow the symbol
at the end of the page or column. Based on these constraints, I thought
that using the "samepage" and "preference" options for the first and second
line breaks would work nicely:
```
\define\SectionBreak{%
\blank[halfline, samepage]% non-breaking to ensure that no column
begins with the section break symbol
\startalignment[middle]%
{X}% section break symbol
\stopalignment%
\blank[halfline, preference]% this can (and, if possible, should) be
broken across a column
```
This does successfully prevent the placement of the symbol at the top of a
page/column, but it doesn't encourage the placement of the symbol at the
end of a page/column as often as I would like. I tried replacing the
"preference" option with options with better negative penalties, like
"penalty:-1000", "penalty:-2000", and even "penalty:-5000", but these
didn't make any difference. The option "penalty:-1" trivially works,
but it forces a page/column break at every section break marker, which is
far too extreme.
Is this normal behavior? I would have thought that progressively more
negative penalties would gradually encourage page/column breaks, but this
doesn't seem to happen. In the following MWE, the "preference" and
"penalty" options (apart from "penalty:-1") for the second line break
don't change the total page count or appearance of the final page at all
(which would be expected in a document of this size):
```
\setuplayout[
grid=yes %enable baseline grid
]
\setupinterlinespace[18bp] % text line spacing
%Define macro for section break:
\define\SectionBreak{%
\blank[halfline, samepage]%non-breaking to ensure that no column begins
with the section break symbol
\startalignment[middle]%
{X}% section break symbol
\stopalignment%
\blank[halfline]% a column break here is neither encouraged nor discouraged
% \blank[halfline, preference]% this should encourage a column break here,
but it doesn't seem to make a difference
% \blank[halfline, penalty:-1000]% still no difference
% \blank[halfline, penalty:-2000]% still no difference
% \blank[halfline, penalty:-5000]% still no difference
% \blank[halfline, penalty:-1]% this works, but it is too extreme!
}
%Set things up for fakewords:
\usemodule[visual]
\setupsystem[random=10]
\starttext
\dorecurse{400}{\fakewords{20}{100}\SectionBreak}
\stoptext
```
As always, any help is appreciated!

[NTG-context] Conditional formatting with *frontpart, *bodypart, *backpart modes
Hi, I was curious about the possibility of handling general formatting settings (e.g., page layout, headers and footers, page numbering, alignment, default body font assignment, etc.) conditionally for front, body, and back matter using modes. According to the wiki page at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes, this should be doable with blocks like \startmode[*frontpart] ... \stopmode, but even in the following minimal example, the conditional formatting isn't getting applied: ``` \startmode[*frontpart] \setupbodyfont[modern, 12pt] \stopmode \startmode[*bodypart] \setupbodyfont[pagella, 12pt] \stopmode \startmode[*backpart] \setupbodyfont[termes, 12pt] \stopmode \starttext \startfrontmatter \input knuth\par \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \input knuth\par \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \input knuth\par \stopbackmatter \stoptext ``` Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Or is there a different recommended approach to conditional formatting by front/body/back matter division? Thank you!

Re: [NTG-context] Different in-text and list citation renderings
It may also be relevant to mention a related feature of SBL style:
(3) The "et al." string is used for more than three authors for in-text
citations, but all authors are listed in full in the list of publications.
In publ-imp-chicago.mkvi (probably the most similar style to SBL), the
etallimit and etaldisplay parameters are set to the default values:
\definebtx
[chicago:\s!list]
[chicago]
%[\c!otherstext={\btxcomma\btxnobreakspace\textellipsis\space},
% \c!etallimit=7,
% \c!etaldisplay=6,
% \c!etaloption=last,
[\c!authorconversion=inverted]
But the definition for in-text citations sets both of these parameters to 1:
\definebtx
[chicago:\s!cite]
[chicago]
[\c!alternative=authoryear,
\c!otherstext={\btxcomma\btxlabeltext{others}},
\c!etallimit=1,
\c!etaldisplay=1,
\c!authorconversion=\v!name,
\c!sorttype=normal, % \v!normal ?
\c!style=,
\c!compress=\v!yes] % note that cite sorts only work with compress=yes.
Now, if I cite a source in-text using the "author" alternative, this rule
is applied, but if I cite a source in-text using the "entry" alternative,
the printed citation follows the rules for [chicago:\s!list], even though
the citation style for the "entry" alternative is explicitly defined to
inherit from [chicago:\s!cite]:
\definebtx
[chicago:\s!cite:entry]
[chicago:\s!cite]
[\c!left=,
\c!right=,
\c!inbetween={\btxspace},
\c!separator:2={\btxsemicolon},
\c!separator:3=\btxparameter{\c!separator:2},
\c!separator:4=\btxparameter{\c!separator:2}]
Is the "entry" alternative just hardcoded to match the list citation, or am
I missing something?

[NTG-context] Different in-text and list citation renderings
Hi, I'm currently working on implementing a new citation rendering for SBL style. One of the challenges of this style is that it specifies slightly different rules for citations in the text (which are generally expected to look like citations made with the "entry" alternative) and entries in the final list of publications. The two most common differences are (1) Authors in the in-text citation are printed in normal form (i.e., first name followed by last name), while authors in the list citation are printed in inverted for for the first author and normal form for all subsequent authors. (2) Most fields in the in-text citation are separated by commas, while the list citation uses periods in these places. Is there already a mechanism for handling this for another citation style? And if not, could anyone offer a suggestion on how I might go about implementing separate rules for in-text citations and list citations? Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Henning's suggestion for abbreviations should work fine for that issue. I
could simply use the shorthand in the "series" and "journal" fields and set
up the appropriate \abbreviation calls in the document or environment.
As for the larger issue of bibliographies, I've started working on
publ-imp-sbl.lua and publ-imp-sbl.mkvi files. I knew I would need this for
my own project soon, and I felt it would be useful to myself and the
ConTeXt community if I could at least get a rudimentary version working.
I'm presently using the reference for examples from the *SBL Handbook of
Style*, 2nd edition, available at
https://github.com/dcpurton/biblatex-sbl/blob/master/test/biblatex-sbl-examples.ref.txt
.
Like you say, some parts are tricky. SBL uses "entry"-style citations by
default and doesn't seem to make use of other common alternatives (such as
"authoryear"). I can think of some existing alternatives that might get
used in specific cases (e.g., "author", "title"), but the
recommended shorthand has the form "shortauthor, shorttitle" (i.e., the
last name(s) of the author(s) only, followed by a comma and a shortened
form of the title as specified in the "shorttitle" field). I could make
this the sbl style's implementation of the "short" alternative, since the
LaTeX-style bracketed number references are foreign to SBL style anyway,
but if would be preferable just to introduce another alternative (something
like "authortitle"), then I could also try to do that.
For my immediate purposes, I won't need much more than the @book, @article,
@inbook, and @incollection entries, so my focus will be on getting those
right, but if anyone is interested in helping, I'll gladly take help. (But
it would probably be better to discuss the details in a separate e-mail
thread.)

[NTG-context] Referencing fonts by path within ConTeXt
Hi, I'm interested in packaging a ConTeXt project in a self-contained way, so that the environment/component/project .tex files, the bibliography .bib file(s), and fonts used for typesetting are all provided in one place. (The goal is that others can generate the PDFs themselves from the source files as long as they have a sufficiently recent version of ConTeXt installed.) The usual ConTeXt directory structure makes sense for most of this, but it doesn't address the possibility of accessing fonts locally. I think I could do this with a script that temporarily sets the OSFONTDIR variable to the local fonts directory and then invokes ConTeXt to typeset the project-level file, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this from within ConTeXt. Specifically, is there a way to specify a font via a local path with font setup commands in an environment file? Thank you!

[NTG-context] Short forms and abbreviations in bibliography
Hi,
It is a common practice to use short forms of titles for bibliographic
entries after they are cited the first time. Another practice is to use
abbreviations for journal names and book series (generally for citations in
the text, but possibly also in the references list), with a separate "List
of Abbreviations" provided to cross-reference the abbreviations and full
names. I think that these practices could be accommodated with multiple
bibliographies that contain short and long forms for corresponding entries,
but I wanted to ask: is there a simpler or preferred way to do this in
ConTeXt?
To illustrate what I mean, the biblatex-sbl package (
https://github.com/dcpurton/biblatex-sbl), which implements the SBL
citation style for (Xe)LaTeX, handles this using additional fields like
"shorttitle," "shortjournal," and "shortseries," so for the BibTeX-style
bibliographic entry
@book{Blau2010,
author = {Joshua Blau},
title = {Phonology and Morphology of Biblical Hebrew},
shorttitle = {Phonology},
series = {Linguistic Studies in Ancient West Semitic},
shortseries = {LSAWS},
volume = {2},
location = {Winona Lake, IN},
publisher = {Eisenbrauns},
year = {2010}
}
the initial in-text citation (in SBL style) would look something like
Joshua Blau, *Phonology and Morphology of Biblical Hebrew*, LSAWS 2 (Winona
Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 2010),
while subsequent in-text citations would look like
Blau, *Phonology*.
A separate list of abbreviations would then list "LSAWS" alongside
"Linguistic Studies in Ancient West Semitic" (and likewise for other
journal/series abbreviations).
Thank you!
Joey

Re: [NTG-context] Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead
Beautiful! This makes things even more succinct. I notice that if I try to
prevent paragraph indentation after a MyPart heading with the
"indentnext=no" argument, it doesn't work. Is this because of the
\page[blankpagebreak] command in the "after" argument? (In any case, I can
just change the "after" argument to
"after=\page[blankpagebreak]\noindentation" and things work as expected, so
this isn't a real problem. I'm just curious.)
Thanks!
Joey

Re: [NTG-context] Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead
Thank you so much! The piece I was missing was the "placehead=yes". Now everything works as expected! I couldn't figure out how to increase letter spacing for the "style" argument using just a \definefont macro, but I was able to do it with a macro supplied as the "textcommand" argument.

[NTG-context] Setting a heading text on its own page with \setuphead
Hi,
I'd like to define my own class of heading derived from the "part" heading;
in the MWE below, it's called "MyPart". I'd like this heading to have the
following features:
- Its title should appear in the ToC, but its number should never be
printed in the ToC or in the text.
- It should always start on an odd page.
- Its text should be in a larger size than the text of the body, set in
all caps, and set with extra letterspacing.
- Most importantly, the title of the heading should appear on its own
page without a header or footer. The text of the body should begin on the
next odd page.
I was hoping to accomplish all of this within the \setuphead command, and
it seems like this should be possible, but in the following example, I'm
not getting the text of the header at all:
```
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=] %undo default page
numbering in middle of header; doublesided option will ensure that the
document has an even number of pages
%Define an odd page break between books that omits headers and footers in
blank pages
\definepagebreak[blankpagebreak][yes,header,footer,right]
%Setup body and title fonts (is any of this redundant, or can it be
consolidated?):
\definefontsynonym [EBGaramond] [name:EBGaramond-Regular] [features=default]
\definefontfamily[garamond] [rm] [EBGaramond] [features={default}]
\setupbodyfont[garamond, 12pt]
\setupinterlinespace[18pt] %text line spacing
\definefont[MyPartFont][EBGaramond at 24pt][line=36pt] %font command to be
used for setting MyPart heading texts
%Macro for adjusting kerning of MyPart heading texts (can any of this can
be handled in the \definefont call?):
\define[1]\MyPartTextCommand{%
\kerncharacters[0.]%increase letterspacing
\WORDS{#1}%set all letters in uppercase
}
%Macro for page break after MyPart headings:
\define\AfterMyPart{%
\page[blankpagebreak]%
}
%Define a new heading at the level of a part:
\definehead[MyPart][part]
\setuphead[MyPart][
number=no,%do not add a number to this heading
page=blankpagebreak,%always start this on an odd page
header=empty,%disable headers for this page
footer=empty,%disable footers for this page
align={flushleft, nothyphenated},%titling alignment settings
textstyle=\MyPartFont,%set text style
textcommand=\MyPartTextCommand,%set text formatting command
commandafter=\AfterBookTitle%add a double page break afterwards
]
%Setup header and footer text:
\setupheadertexts[{\structureuservariable{booktitle}}\hfill][][][\hfill
{\structureuservariable{booktitle}}] %even left, even right, odd left, odd
right
\setupfootertexts[\pagenumber][][][\pagenumber] %even left, even right, odd
left, odd right
%Ensure that whitespace respects the grid layout:
\setupblank[line,fixed]
\starttext
\startMyPart[title={Title for Title Page}][booktitle={Title for Header}]
\input knuth\par
\input knuth\par
\input knuth\par
\input knuth\par
\input knuth\par
\input knuth
\stopMyPart
\stoptext
```
I expect there's something obvious that I'm missing, but any help is
appreciated.
Thank you!
Joey
