[NTG-context] Font selection ranges
I want to define an environment for computer code including non-ASCII
characters, using Xits or STIXGeneral except in the ASCII range, where some
monospace font like Courier should be used.
If I do:
\setupbodyfont[xits,10pt]
\definetyping[code]
\setuptyping[code][margin=yes]
\starttext
\startcode
for ∀i, j ∈ I
do a(i, j) ≔ b(i, j)
\stopcode
\stoptext
Then the math characters won't show. They will show using
\setuptyping[code][style=normal,margin=yes]
but then the ASCII range isn't monospace.
In LaTeX, one can use \setmathfont[range={0001-...,}] to set ranges for fonts,
but I could not find that for ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] [OT] intelligent commas in math (in LaTeX)
In principle a cleaner implementation is possible in luatex (without using
active characters), but I am not completely sure about this. It will be
better to handle this as part of \mnum macro.
Hm, can you explain this a bit ?
Currently ConTeXt already checks if '.' is part of a complete number or
not as part of the export macros. For example:
\m{x + 1.25y = 3.5}
exports as
m:math
display=inlinem:mrowm:mi푥/m:mim:mo+/m:mom:mn1.25/m:mnm:mi푦/m:mim:mo=/m:mom:mn3.5/m:mn/m:mrow/m:math
Notice that 1.25 is part of a single m:mn tag.
In contrast, if you use comma as a math delimiter, then the export
function does not recognize the number correctly.
\m{x + 1,25y = 3.5}
exports as
m:math
display=inlinem:mrowm:mi푥/m:mim:mo+/m:mom:mn1/m:mnm:mo,/m:mom:mn25/m:mnm:mi푦/m:mim:mo=/m:mom:mn3/m:mnm:mo,/m:mom:mn5/m:mn/m:mrow/m:math
However, we do have a \mn macro (math number) to tag numbers. So you can
type
\m{x + \mn{1,25}y = \mn{3,5}}
which exports as
m:math
display=inlinem:mrowm:mi푥/m:mim:mo+/m:mom:mn1,25/m:mnm:mi푦/m:mim:mo=/m:mom:mn3,5/m:mn/m:mrow/m:math
So, if we want to recognize ',' as a decimal separator, two solutions are
possible in MkIV. The first is to build upon the existing export code that
recognizes '.' as a decimal separator (to figure out the contents of the
mn tag) to also recognize ',' as a decimal separator;
The drawback of such an approach is that if you are in the habit of not
adding a space after a comma, for example writing Let $\naturalnumbers$
denote the set $\{1,2,3,\dots\}$ of natural numbers... then you will get
wrong output.
So, an alternative option is to ask the user to tag all numbers with \mn.
Then, the \mn{...} macro can redefine the comma so that the spaces around
it match its use as a decimal separator.
