[NTG-context] Blank at beginning of page
Hi, being new to ConTeXt I'd have loads of questions but I'd like to start with what puzzles me most: any \blank[] command that happens to be at the beginning of a page seems to be ignored. For instance in a document as follows \showframe \starttext \blank[5*big] Some text. \stoptext the string Some text. will be placed on the very top of the text field, regardless of what \blank[]s precede it. I read a good deal of the documentation but couldn't make out the cause nor a workaround. Right now I even consider to put headings inside a float or something like that in order to make their [before=\blank[someblank]] option effective. Thanks in advance for any advice Philipp ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

You need braces around the \blank command or you will get a error message.

[NTG-context] Questions regarding simplefonts
Hi again,
although simplefonts seems very promising and I put the highest hopes
on it, the lack of proper documentation simply prevents me to use it,
which is somewhat frustrating.
Here are some of my unanswered questions about simplefonts ; I'm
willing to update the wiki with any informations this thread could
bring.
1) How can I specify that the default font features should enable the
standard ligatures (liga) ?
I blindly tried several possibilities like
\setupsimplefonts[features={liga}] but none worked
2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are
defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ?
3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using
simplefonts' dedicated keywords ? There again, I spent more than 30
minutes trying every combination I could think of, unsuccessfully.
I think it would be useful to have a complete example of code
involving simplefonts and expansion/protrusion that people could copy
paste from the wiki
4) What is the purpose of the 'mode' keyword ?
Many thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nicolas

[NTG-context] ConTeXt swallows text
Hi,
under certain circumstances, ConTeXt swallows text. This happens with
both MkII and MkIV and a fairly recent minimals distribution.

| ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKIV fmt: 2009.11.25 int: english/english
Sadly, I noticed not until the booklet was already printed. (Actually,
it was my customer who noticed.) :-(

Not really. We (Hans and I) would say that it is now finally right. ;)
This is true of many standard TeX ligatures (is this the right word here?)
such as ... (\ldots, \dots also works), (\og), (\fg), ` (\glqq),
' (\grqq), ~ (unbreakable space), etc.
This can be a bit disturbing for experienced TeX users.
- I agree. 80% of Slovenian (La)TeX users use US quotation marks just
because they have read some TeX tutorial about how to use `` and ''.
- Knuth only thought of English quotation marks when implementing the
ugly trick. There is no simple way for opening quotation marks („)
for Slovenian/German and most probably for quite some other languages
as well. So ``'' notation is useless for a big fraction of users
anyway. (The only alternative is probably \glqq friends. You can use
a similar one in ConTeXt as well, but I tend to forget exact names.)
- On Slovenian keyboard it's pretty complicated to type `. Let's take
Mac (but it's equally complicated on Windows). One needs to press
Alt++space. This means 2x3=6 strokes to get the character “ typeset.
The character “ itself only takes a single stroke on Mac/Slo. On
Mac/US Int. it's just Alt+[ (2 keystrokes) to get it, so not that bad
either.
- When using \quotation{} it's easy to change the mind about what
quotation marks to use (Slovenian/German use two different sets) and
the proper layout will be used based on the language being used (comes
handy when mixing languages inside the document). Which is great - no
need to think which one to use.
- The deciding moment when some of these ugly tricks have been thrown
away was when we realized that if you do add those tricks, there is no
way to print the grave accent. (Grave accent will be automatically
converted to the same comma that you get in quotation marks.) In
good old TeX the grave accent (`) and the character that you get when
you type ` are at two different slots. In Unicode-encoded fonts that's
not doable. This means that if one wants to enable the `` trick then
there's no way to allow composite characters with grave accent or the
character ` in typewriter font. In most cases that is not a problem
since Unicode fonts usually support a wide range of characters, but I
already had to use a character not present in Unicode. And that was
not doable until the hack has been removed.
In the good old days the ugly tricks have been there mostly in order
to compensate for lack of Unicode accents on keyboards. Nowadays the
limitation of encodings has (almost) gone.
You can easily change the behaviour of ConTeXt by modifying font
features if you insist in using ``''.
OK, \quotation{} is cleaner and of course using unicode
characters may be even more readable, sometimes.
I have very mixed feelings, as I know how to type ...
but I never can recall the keyboard gymnastics necessary
to get this in unicode.
That's why I always use \quotation{}.
(Things are even worse on a Mac, as the standard keyboard
layout is missing lots of important characters.)
I have no idea which keyboard you use, but US International is pretty
rich (the problem is lack of some legend on keyboard itself), on the
other hand it's easy enough to make your own layout.

The bottom line is that we need to document these differences

Re: [NTG-context] Questions regarding simplefonts
Am 19.01.10 18:56, schrieb Nicolas Girard:
Hi again,
although simplefonts seems very promising and I put the highest hopes
on it, the lack of proper documentation simply prevents me to use it,
which is somewhat frustrating.
I try to provide a proper documentation when I release the next
version of my module.
Here are some of my unanswered questions about simplefonts ; I'm
willing to update the wiki with any informations this thread could
bring.
1) How can I specify that the default font features should enable the
standard ligatures (liga) ?
I blindly tried several possibilities like
\setupsimplefonts[features={liga}] but none worked
Ligatures are enabled in ConTeXt default fontfeature and simplefonts
applies only
the default features to the font, when you don't get them in your
document this could
be a font problem, in most cases it helps to select a different script.
\setupsimplefonts[script=latin]
or
\setmainfont[...][script=latin]
2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are
defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ?
The caps font is loaded by default by the smallcaps fontfeature,
if this did not work the problem could be the same as for the ligatures.
3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using
simplefonts' dedicated keywords ? There again, I spent more than 30
minutes trying every combination I could think of, unsuccessfully.
I think it would be useful to have a complete example of code
involving simplefonts and expansion/protrusion that people could copy
paste from the wiki
You can use the two keys expamsion ans protrusion, their values are
the same as you have e to write in \definefontfeature.
\setupsimplefonts[expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
or
\setmainfont[...][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
Examples are available on bitbucket:

No, you won't get that ligature if your font doesn't support it and
most people do not notice that ligatures exist at all (including me,
even after using LaTeX for several years).
Yes - it is a trick on the same level, but that trick needs to be
implemented in font. ConTeXt will never try to replace that with a
ligature if your font won't ask for that (and there's a way to turn
ligatures off completely in mkiv/xetex).
You can also easily create a font that will do the replacement of
backtick with single quotation mark for you. The main difference is
that 99.9% fonts in the wild don't have that replacement built in,
while most high-quality fonts do have some ligatures. The replacement
of ` or ' would usually be done by editors (Word), but there is no
standard editor for TeX to do that.
- The deciding moment when some of these ugly tricks have been thrown
away was when we realized that if you do add those tricks, there is no
way to print the grave accent.
How about {\`} (untested)
Apart from the fact that this is a command used for a completely
different purpose, it wouldn't help. The problem is that
transformation is being done on glyph at position 0x60 in font itself.
The only option would be to copy the glyph 0x60 to Private Unicode
Area and then assign \textgrave to point to that obscure slot. But
that's more than ugly.
(See also Aditya's answer about apostrophe.)
You probably are right to favor \quotation{}, \dots, etc.
and to go unicode. But is it really necessary and a good idea
to break with TeX culture? I guess so. What about $ $ (and $$ $$)?
How about % (\%)? Not to mention
This is a completely different question. (I do miss $$...$$ to be honest.)
These are active characters. You may do
\catcode\`=\letter (untested syntax)
or maybe some \nonknuthmode command and you'll get the characted .
Same is true for % (but yes - you need to forget about comments then).
The meaning of those characters is changed on the editor level, so
it's extremely easy to change the behaviour.
The hack with `` is on font level. And that's when it's gets really
ugly. There is *no* way to get the original character back without
changing the font itself.
Two exceptions have been left on font level. That is two (harmless)
ligatures: -- (endash), --- (emdash) and replacement with
apostrophe as in I'm. The last one is still very very ugly, but I
think it's mission impossible to convince anyone to change the habit
of using the proper apostrophe instead of '.
I have no idea which keyboard you use, but US International is pretty

I admit that I neither remember where to find the letter A on French

So you are complaining that you don't find quotation marks when
already \ and {} cause you problems?
The bottom line is that we need to document these differences
towards the very beginning of the manual, where ConTeXt is
identified as a form of TeX.
I agree with that ... but there's a general problem with

Perhaps you could put your dot-files (especially .xmodmap) on a public
server, and whenever you change the computer, you copy your personal
keyboard layout.
I'm doing that with subversion. svn co ... and I feel at home :)

This is my concern. Whereas I do prefer \quotation{} being functionally
logical, after all the spirit of TeX, I also like unicode generalizations
(such as ± for \pm). Nevertheless, hard core TeX users as well as converts
from LaTeX *expect* ``'', --, ---, ..., etc. to work in ConTeXt. I assume that
the present discussion is useful and not simply controversial.
I ignore the mechanisms behind the different implementations (macro, fonts,
catcar, ...) and the problems that arise.
Concerning typesetting source code, I would suggest something as simple as
suspending ALL such tricks within \text{} and \starttyping\stoptyping (perhaps
parametrized). One could also define something like \shellescape{}, analogous
to \quotation{}, to typeset `echo hello world` and even \string{} to typeset
string or 'string', according to the programming language initialized.
What I also find disturbing is that *some* of these conventions are retained,
but not all.
