[NTG-context] Intraword spacing proof of concept
Hi all,
Quite a while ago I mentioned letter spacing, or the normal absence
thereof, in TeX and friends. True, you could skin this cat by
mathematically scaling the text (font size) by steps to fit the box ---
the code is out there. But that was not the only way, thought I. Some
programs also call this general idea tracking, that is, inserting
positive or negative kerns independent of the \spacingfactor.
Just for grins I nabbed two snippets from, respectively, manmac.tex and
texbook.tex. I then added a bit of my own hackery that was inspired by
DEK's length macro. I realized that a non-counting version of the length
macro was a memory-friendly way to insert a symbol between any two
others in a given sequence. What I wanted to insert was a negative kern.
The negative kern must be small, less than \negthinspace, or else you
start getting weird effects like a practically chiastic ordering of
letters, and certainly a chaotic one. The smallest that one dare go
seems to be -.07em, the point where the serifs can start running
together. Using -.03em really does not show any letters running
together, yet it still saves space. I got those figures as suggested by
Knuth's own selections for tightness in the interword spacing.
And yes, you could theoretically space out the letters, like the soul
package that does proper Sperrdruck. One major drawback with my kludge
is the need to use control spaces, else all spaces evaporate. If soul
were ported to ConTeXt, and it seems like the code might allow that,
then a version that "spaces in" and "spaces out" could well be possible.
So here's the proof of concept, for those so interested.

[NTG-context] \setupbibtex[sort=author]
I would like to have a list of references sorted alphabetically by
author surnames.
My environment file has \setupbibtex[sort=author] and
\setuppublications[sorttype=bbl]
As I understand it, the \setupbibtex instruction is supposed to
influence the .aux file. Specifically, the .aux file is supposed to
include this line: \bibstyle{cont-au}. Then, bibtex will read the aux
file and produce a .bbl file that is sorted alphabetically. Then
ConTeXt's bib module will read the .bbl file and follow the sorting
it finds in that file.
However, after each ConTeXt run this line in the .aux file is set as
\bibstyle{cont-no}. This happens in both Mk IV and Mk II, ConTeXt
ver: 2008.08.05 18:47
I can change the relevant line in the aux file by hand, from \bibstyle
{cont-no} to \bibstyle{cont-au}. This gives me the desired result
when the file was processed by ConTeXt. The reference list is sorted
alphabetically.
In fact, subsequent ConTeXt runs using Mk IV (but not Mk II) produce
an alphabetically sorted reference list, despite the changed line in
the .aux file, provided bibtex is not run in the meantime. (Mk II
runs it automatically but Mk IV doesn't ... I think)
But this is not a fully stable situation. Suppose the bib file
changes. Then I would run bibtex again. And then the alphabetical
sorting is undone. Or, it was when I tested it.
I don't know if this is a bug, a misunderstanding on my part, or a
feature to be added later. If my memory is correct, this is not the
way that Mk II used to behave. But in any event, It would be great to
know of a more automatic way of handling this if one is available.
Thank you!
Michael

If such a primitive were present it would be probably quite easy to write the LaTeX support e.g. by adapting fontspec. Or a bundle which can be used to convert other input encodings to utf8.

This morning, I played around with the minimals on my linux eeepc (had always used TeXLive, but saving some space seemed like a good idea) and got exactly the same problem: instead of bold, I get bold italic.

This works like a charm!
Now I'm a bit confused though as to which definitions need this
"MPinitializations" block and which ones can/should go to
"MPinclusions". For example, a subsequent
---
\startMPinclusions
medium := DefaultRuleThickness;
thick:= 1.5medium;
\stopMPinclusions
---
doesn't work. However, color definitions for instance seem to be OK
there.
Could you give me a hint?
Thanks,
Oliver

This was a bug, you need a newer luaTeX.

(this while script becoming a exe is quite painful and fragile, which is why i always run things by stub) also, if you use luatex ... you can adapt the scite properties files (user ones) to use 'context' instead of 'texexec' Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I tried it with a format generated by simply inputting latex.ltx (and
then \pdfoutput=1 in the document), with one which loads also
pdftexconfig.tex, and with a plain one:
% Thomas Esser, 1998. public domain.
% hyphenation tables are now set up in language.dat
\input pdftexconfig.tex
\input plain
\dump
\endinput
In all cases (also if I try dvi-output) the lines glue together. The
attachment text-lua is the pdf of the latex try.

Yes I realized that ;-). Currently I'm trying simple code to understand
the principles so that I can later steal the right things from the
context files.

The MnSymbol-Bold5 you used works fine for me too. MnSymbol5 is the font
doesn't work (the code is -- commented -- in test-lua2):
Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
