Did you look into supp-fun.tex?
I was trying to use the macros provided by supp-fun.tex some month before,
but I could not get numbers instead of letters to work - see the little
example below. How can I solve that problem?
The magic is in:

Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation peculiarity.
Assuming I understood Hans correctly, then using a new ConTeXt (starting november) together with TL2004 or the latest tetex-beta, all should be fine. Alternatively, an older ConTeXt (june) with an older tetex or texlive should also be fine. All combinations of new and old are apparently broken. Blame the TL guys if you must, because they are the ones that keep changing the filenames of the hyphenation patterns.

Blame the TL guys if you must, because they are the ones that keep changing the filenames of the hyphenation patterns. such 'changes' in filenames are sometimes hidden by the alias mechanism in web2c and that 'kind of fuzzy and hidden' mechanism can masquerade the problem; i first found out about the change in filename during a tutorial at the practex conference (no hyphenation, so i was both puzzled and ...); then, at home, i found out, by grepping, that this mapping file was not always present etc etc as taco mentioned, renaming/copying a pattern file to a lang-language code.pat one is a solution [actually, in core-fil, i map onto those names] Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Mac testers wanted
Hi all, Sorry, but I'm announcing another Mac-only thing to the ConTeXt list. I'd like a few testers on an export script. OmniOutliner Pro makes for an interesting structured editor, and I've written an export plug-in that outputs ContML code that can easily be run through ConTeXt. I could use a couple savvy MacOSX ConTeXters to help verify it's behaving as expected and that it's usable. It means running a (99% stable) beta application (OOPro) that won't be free in the long term, so if that offends your sensibilities, turn away now... (My plug-in and ConTeXt module will be free, of course.) If you're interested in helping out, though, please send me a message off-list, and make sure you have OmniOutliner Pro beta installed: http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/beta/pro/ I'll be sending out a package in a few days.
