[NTG-context] m-steps on mkiv

2014-01-28 Thread DesdeChaves
Some features of m-steps does not work in mkiv.
For example, I can not change colors and the shapes (first example), add
steps from the cell (n) to the cell (n+m, m=2,3,4...) and reverse steps.


\usemodule[steps,mathml]



\starttext
\startSTEPtable
\setupSTEPcells [alternative=5, framecolor=red]
\setupSTEPtexts [framecolor=green]
\setupSTEPlines [alternative=5]
\cell {initial concentration,  $C_i$}
\text {$\div C_f$, final concentration}
\cell {diluation factor, $f$}
\text {inverse}
\cell {$\frac{1}{f}$}
\text {$\times V_f$, volume of the volumetric flask}
\cell {pipette volume, $V_p$}
\stopSTEPtable


>From the manual:


\startSTEPchart
\cell {A}
\cell {one} \texts{}{+2} \texts{}{+3}
\cell {two}
\cell {three} \texts{+4}{} \texts{+5}{}
\cell {four}
\cell {five}
\stopSTEPchart

Many thanks for your implementation, Hans.

It works fine now.

Many thanks again for your work,

Hi Hans,

after reading the relevant part for italic correction in fonts-mkiv.pdf
and enabling it in my documents, I have found a case in which the italic
correction could be improved.

My settings are:

   \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes]
   \setupitaliccorrection[global,always]

If I get it right, the italic correction should be avoided before points
and commas (these are all the exceptions I can imagine for this case).
The explanation is simple: the space is already at the base line, since
at the glyph base, the inclination of the italic or slanted glyph makes
the right side-bearing larger at the baseline. The issue with italic
correction is mainly with ascenders or at the cap height, but I think it
isn’t at the base line (or the descenders). Because of that I think it
is important to disable italic correction before points and commas.

The sample shows the issue:

\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes]
\setupitaliccorrection[global,always]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
Abf. {\em Abf}.\\
Abf, {\em Abf},\\
Abf. {\it Abf}.\\
Abf, {\it Abf},
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

I think it might be worth considering.

Many thanks for your help and your excellent work,


Hard coded char checking is talking all punctuation is tricky, so i now 
use a threshold instead (enabled by default).


\disabledirectives[typesetters.threshold]

% % % % test:

\definefontfeature
  [default]
  [default]
  [itlc=yes]

\setupitaliccorrection
  [global,always]

% \enabletrackers[typesetters.italics]

\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
f. {\em f}.\par f, {\em f},\par f. {\it f}.\par f, {\it f},\par 
f: {\it f}:\par f; {\it f};\par
x. {\em x}.\par x, {\em x},\par x. {\it x}.\par x, {\it x},\par 
x: {\it x}:\par x; {\it x};\par

\stopTEXpage

Will be in next beta.
