Re: [NTG-context] French quotes ..
French quotes look like this : << my text >>, where english ones look like
this: "my text".
Of course, am using the \mainlanguage[fr] option in my document.
Hello,
if \mainlanguage[fr] is set, \quotation{my quoted text} should typeset
the strange French quotes.
Many thanks,
My bizarre quotations work now, but they are quite ugly ! How can i change
the caracter shape ? Does this depend on the font i use ?
Yours,
D.A.

Hello, is someone using the letter module as mentioned in xcorresp.pdf (the correspondence manual)? There is written that the layout is defined in a file "m-letter.tex".

This doesn't split appropriately. It works OK if one removes the

something wrong, or is this an issue with the tables code?

They only have a partial implementation of the spec. Hans's use of the PDF spec with the bookmarks is a little "loose." I studied this in more detail with respect to XeTeX. I might be able to find some of that correspondence. Oh, here it is: >> If so, I'd be interested to see the PDF >>that results (pdfTeX, at least, can be told not to compress the PDF >>streams, can't it?), so as to get some idea of the link types that >>Preview understands. > >It turns out that it understands indirect links very well.

Yeah, that sums up the difference between a link that doesn't work, and one that does, in Preview.app. ConTeXt may use a bit of JavaScript in some of its links, which Preview.app has a tough time with. I haven't looked at this in detail lately, and barely at all with the pdftex drivers. Hans, do you think it would be hard to turn direct page links into indirect links (point to page object)? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

In that, I'm working across multiple namespaces: 1) document (docbook ng) 2) bibliographic data (mods) 3) a citation formatting language (homegrown; again, in its own namespace) 4) output (xhtml, for example) I agree with the notion that, in principle, semantic document markup should be in a separate namespace from the formatting language. BTW, Hans, I've yet to see the ContML schema. Care to post it somewhere? Also, FYI, I and an engineer at Sun have some up with a small citation schema designed for embedding in other XML dialects. It has been approved for OpenOffice. http://www.users.muohio.edu/darcusb/files/citation-schema.tar.gz It's more for GUI apps (it's rather verbose), but could still be useful in other contexts.

I took a look at the magazine again last night, and it was put in an entirely new light. I'm very curious to work with x-fx now... I've been working on a general-ish conversion script from a new Mac application. I'd like to offer most of ContML as basic level constructs, but it should be possible for a user to add their own tags. If they can tap into fx:anything tags, it should make people (hi, Bruce!) fairly happy. My first reaction/critique of the approach was: why not fix at least one of the problems of TeX: that it's "a mixture between typesetting and programming features" as you say?

I know this, but I was not worried about placement, I only wanted a working
figure reference. The actual author-supplied example that I was trying
to typeset was this:
%%
Dat uitbundig fontgebruik niet van onze tijd is, toont de meer dan honderd
jaar oude voorpagina in \in {figuur} [fig:font:1].
\placefigure
[fig:font:1]
