[NTG-context] XML-lookahead
Hi all,
Is it possible to use something like \doifnextcharelse for xml-
environments or is there a clever work-around? I need to know what
the next tag is in order to decide if a linebreak needs to be inserted.
For example:
\defineXMLenvironment [av] {} {} % linebreak unless followed by
liste-tag
\defineXMLenvironment [liste] {} {\crlf} % always a linebreak
\startXMLdata
av text /av liste 15 /liste !-- \crlf --
av text /av !-- \crlf --
\stopXMLdata
Regards,
Sjoerd

I just tried to get my hands at the font: http://starling.rinet.ru/downl.php?lan=en#soft But the EXEs aren't self extracting ZIPs as I expected, but real installers (or something else), and I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment. I had the same problem on mac os x. I can send you the ttf files off- list if you are interested. BTW if the fonts really are named Palatino something there may be trouble ahead, because Palatino is a trademark (that's why URW++ names their version Palladio). I think the font is called Palatino Linostar. But I let the russians deal with the trademark problems.

Is there a way in which I can find out if there is reason that this font should be blacklisted. I have a version of fontlab on my computer.

Hi Hans and Mojca,
Thanks for the quick replies.

You don't need to put silly \uchar{}{} definitions in the text, I'm
indeed, uchar is not for this purpose and has special meaning in
cjk (mapping to special fonts) and xetex situations (mapping to

Actually, I thought it was a good solution. Let me explain my current
project.
I am typesetting a Festschrift including subjects on Indo-European
(Sanskrit, Hittite, Old Greek, etc.), Slavic, Sino-Tibetan, and
Japanese made up from 65 xml-files with decimal character entities.
All the glyphs needed for these articles (save some silly ones like e
with hungarian umlaut, m with subdot) are included in a font
(Palatino Linostar) which was developed to accompany an etymological
database (http://starling.rinet.ru/main.html) project devoted to
proving or disproving the nostratic theory (all languages in the
world originate from one source). The font was developed over the
years and is no longer fully unicode-compliant.
So my solution was to map the cmap hexadecimal values via the decimal
entities to the \uchar command in a separate configuration file.
For example:
\defineXMLentity[257]{\uchar{1}{1}} % amacron % LATIN SMALL LETTER A
WITH MACRON % 0x0101
I need about 2546 of them for all the special glyphs.
This solution works fine, except the fact that I am unable to typeset
the glyphs in bold and italic.
Maybe this solution is a bit cumbersome. I am open for better solutions.

If the placement of the

What is the best way to redefine the accents (like macron, acute,
etc.) to say a standard tex accent?
Is there a command to pick up certain utf-glyphs that aren't picked-
up by context? See the ƃ ǖ in my example file.

I have included a minimal testfile. I can send the pdf-output and

[NTG-context] \uchar and italics question
Hi all,
Due to the nature of the font I am using (which has horrendous
looking combining diacritics), I have to call the unicodeglyphs
directly through the \uchar command. Which works fine for the regular
face. But I am unable to get the italic glyphs via the same method.
So {\it \uchar{1}{01}} renders the 'normal' regular glyph.
Could somebody help me out?

[NTG-context] unicode fontdefinition
Hi all,I am currently typesetting a collection of articles that use a great number of unicodeglyphs from 19 vectors.

[NTG-context] Context index and sorting question
Hi all, I am currently working on a dictionary with multiple indices of older language stages like, Old English, Old Norse, Greec, Sanskrit, Hittite, etc. Most of these languages have different characters, accents and sorting rules than English. In enco-ini.tex I found the \definesortkey command, but it is not entirely clear to me how I could use this command for the individual indices instead of for the overall language (in my case english). Or even if this is possible at all? Could someone tell me how I can use the \definesortkey command or for that matter any other ConTeXt mechanism to define sortrules for individual indices?

You might want to look into a separate program called Xindy. It more
or less
replaces Makindex in plain and LaTeX applications, but it could be
used in
Context most likely. It is specifically designed to address the
situations
you described, i.e. non-Western European sort rules.
Thanks for the quick reply, John.
Xindy looks like a great program and provides great solutions. The
problem is that I can't seem to get it to work on my Mac OS X machine.
A quick look through the xindy mailinglist gave me the impression that
no one has been able to get Xindy to run on Mac OS X yet.
Could somebody maybe tell me just how the \definesortkey command works?
Do I have to define a specific encoding or create languagespecifics
in order for TEXEXEC or TEXUTIL to use it?
I would imagine that ConTeXt must be able to sort a norwegian words in
a separate register say \indexnw{kr{\o}ypa}} differently from the
english index entries in general \index{} register.
