Re: [NTG-context] TikZ in buffers: My struggle with \definestartstop
Thanks Hans!
That works great. I understand it all and it is working in my book, so even
better. I did not know you could \typsetbuffer[a,b,c]. I will be using that
again.
In case anyone finds this in the future, trying to solve a similar issue, my
final version is below, including my \marginTikZ command.

[NTG-context] Initial caps with short paragraph
This has come up before on the mailing list, but I was wondering if LMTX
has a more elegant solution than using a transparent/invisible capture of
the drop-cap.
Consider:
\setupinitial[n=2, style=\tfd,
location=text]\setuphead[chapter][after={\placeinitial}]
\starttext
\chapter
Hello world!
\input ward\stoptext
The output shows that the second paragraph is not indented beyond the
bounding box of the drop-cap, resulting in an overlap. This isn't a problem
when the first paragraph spans two or more lines.
Any ideas for how to resolve this without changing the content?
Thank you!

This surfaced because `nuts.setreplace` in the generic code is defined
in terms of `nuts.setfield`. Previously `nuts.setreplace` wasn't used
anywhere (I think), but since 20th May 2021 it is used when injecting
kerns into discretionaries (font-otj.lua):
See also https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg98463.html.
Minimal not working example is:
```
\font\f=file:{./BaskervilleF-BoldItalic.otf}:mode=node;script=latn;kern=yes;
at10pt
\f B\-C
\bye
```
Fails with:
"warning (node filter): error: ./luatex-fonts-merged.lua:5166: attempt to call a
nil value (upvalue 'setfield')".
Interestingly I can't reproduce the issue with Latin Modern, although it
seems to have a similar kern:
```
\font\f=file:lmroman10-regular.otf:mode=node;script=latn;kern=yes; at10pt

one is injected before and one after so one ends up in the replacement

I take the opportunity to thank Hans for being so responsive with the changes in mtxrun necessary to provide this feature, and for patiently bear with my sometimes unclear requests or feedback.

+nuts.setfield = direct.setfield
nuts.setkern = direct.setkern
nuts.setlink = direct.setlink
nuts.setlist = direct.setlist
```
This surfaced because `nuts.setreplace` in the generic code is defined
in terms of `nuts.setfield`. Previously `nuts.setreplace` wasn't used
anywhere (I think), but since 20th May 2021 it is used when injecting
kerns into discretionaries (font-otj.lua):
See also https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg98463.html.
Minimal not working example is:
```
\font\f=file:{./BaskervilleF-BoldItalic.otf}:mode=node;script=latn;kern=yes;
at10pt
\f B\-C
\bye
```
Fails with:
"warning (node filter): error: ./luatex-fonts-merged.lua:5166: attempt to call
a nil value (upvalue 'setfield')".
Interestingly I can't reproduce the issue with Latin Modern, although it
seems to have a similar kern:
```
\font\f=file:lmroman10-regular.otf:mode=node;script=latn;kern=yes; at10pt
\f V\-a
\bye
```

Re: [NTG-context] LMTX: different output if dots are used in the file name
On 7/7/2021 10:13 PM, Marco Patzer wrote: But maybe Hans can chime in and clarify. I have to check it but syffixes and tex are kind of special. It has nothing to do with operating systems (sorry for those who love to bash windows for it). Personally I always use a suffix and don't look into files without them. (On VMS we even had version numbers with the name, which was also nice.) That said: - tex needs to make a log file and an output file (.log, .pdf and maybe more like .tuc) - so, it determines a jobname, which is the input file with the suffix removed - actually it adds a suffix .tex when there is none and then looks for that file - in that respect, .10 is a suffix as is .foo or .pointless - in tds/kpse/web2c there were flags for 'multiple suffixes' (which of course also introduces compatibility issues) - as a side note: filenames are case sensitive unless the operating system makes them insensitive; this has long been yet another reason for bashing windows, but it looks like kpse/web2c now decided it's a good idea so there's also a flag (i think itis true by default) that enables insentivity (context always tried to be insensitive and mkiv/lmtx definitely is) Now, to the issue of names like 10.11.12.13 ... here .13 is the suffix, like it or not, so in principle we then get 10.11.12.log 10.11.12.tuc 10.11.12.pdf if not then indeed there is some issue. Now, although it's quite some work, one can think of seeing .13 as part of the filename, in which case the lookupe becomes 10.11.12.13.tex but we can optionally first check for 10.11.12.13 ... however, because there are many possibel suffixes (.tex being one of them) we then get 10.11.12.13.log 10.11.12.13.tuc 10.11.12.13.pdf but in the case of 10.11.12.13.tex we get 10.11.12.13.tex.log 10.11.12.13.tex.tuc 10.11.12.13.tex.pdf because there is no way to determine any longer that .tex is special (one can argue that .mk* also qualifies but what about .xml and all variants on that). Al this means that personally I always stick to (1) lowercase filenames (2) with no spaces (3) only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and - (4) always with a suffix ... it never gives issues. (If you ever had to deal with third party files, especially graphics made by third parties, you'd know that most problems come from bad filenames where for instance a single space or multiple spaces and/or funny mixes in case get unnoticed.)

[NTG-context] font feature
Hi all,
is it possible to subtract a featureset that has been applied to a
fontfamily? MWE:
\definefontfeature
[f:frac]
[frac=yes,onum=no,pnum=no]
\definefontfeature
[f:onum]
[onum=yes,pnum=yes]
\definefontfamily [test] [serif] [AntykwaTorunska] [features=f:onum]
\definefontfamily [test] [sans] [Myriad Pro]
\definefontfamily [test] [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono]
\definefontfamily [test] [math] [Xits Math]
\setupbodyfont[test,12pt]
\starttext
Mozarts erster Satz ist ein
{\subtractfeature[f:test]\addfeature[f:frac]4/4}-Takt, Beethoven wählt
einen Dreiertakt, Mozarts Romanze ist ein 3/8-Takt, Beethoven wählt
einen 2/4,
Mozarts Rondo ist eine Gavotte im 2/2-Takt, Beethoven schreibt ein
Jagdrondo im 6/8-Takt.
\stoptext
If I comment out the part [features=f:onum], I get the fractions that
I'm looking for, but it seems that I can't get the same effect with
\subtractfeature and \addfeature. I'm confused...
Thanks and all best
Thomas

[NTG-context] xmldisplayverbatim
I get the impression that \xmldisplayverbatim changes ' (apostroph) into ' and " (quotation mark) into " etc. How can I get rid of this translation? I would prefer to have typeset ' and " instead of the entity representations. dr.
