Hi there!
AFAIK this should work:

setuplanguage[de][

However, this brings up a more general issue (for Hans, especially). The
symbol is called a guillemet, a diminutive of Guillaume (Le Be), the
typographer. It has nothing to do with the French word for word, mot. :-)
we already have (in enco-def):
\ifx\greeklamda\undefined \def\greeklamda{\greeklambda} \fi
\ifx\greekLamda\undefined \def\greekLamda{\greekLambda} \fi
and i've added:
\ifx\leftguillemet \undefined \def\leftguillemet {\leftguillemot } \fi
\ifx\rightguillemet\undefined \def\rightguillemet{\rightguillemot} \fi

[NTG-context] undefined guillemots
Hi there!
AFAIK this should work:
\setuplanguage[de][
leftquote=\guilsinglleft,

]
%\mainlanguage[de]
\language[de]
\setupencoding [default=ec]
\quotation{Doppelte Anführungszeichen}

But none of the guillemots seems to be defined:
! Undefined control sequence.

What can I do?

But I'm confused - why there are two different names (I tried the names from the encodings)? However, this brings up a more general issue (for Hans, especially). The symbol is called a guillemet, a diminutive of Guillaume (Le Be), the typographer. It has nothing to do with the French word for word, mot. :-) Ask Google ;-) guillemet: 63200 hits guillemot: 155 hits guillemets: 353000 guillemots: 52900 You are right that e is correct, but o is very usual, perhaps since centuries...

I realize I will never be able to stamp out the incorrect word, but ConTeXt should at least allow the correct word to be used and resolve into the incorrect one :-) That much I do think should be added. Nothing will break and everyone should be happy. Steve ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
