I would, but getting ConTeXt alone up and running has taken weeks.
If you have it up and running, you can use it now also for XeTeX.
The only difference is that you have to run texexec --xtx filename
as opposed to context filename.
You'd think it would just be something really simple like
\switchfont[devangari]
तरीकिन
\unswitchfont
With ConTeXt+XeTeX it boils down to:
% this is plain xetex font switch; see next example
\font\devanagari=Devanagari MT:script=Deva
\starttext
{\devanagari तरीकिन}
\stoptext
Or the following one that could work in both XeTeX and LuaTeX with MKIV:
\definefontfeature[devanagari][script=deva]
\definefontsynonym[devanagari][name:Devanagari MT][features=devanagari]
\starttext
{\definedfont[devanagari] तरीकिन}
\stoptext
See attachments. XeTeX should work fine for you, the only question is
whether you need any MKIV features or not. If you do need them, you
could use Aditya's approach to insert snipets compiled with XeTeX (it
will happen automatically), if you don't need them you just take XeTeX
and you are done. The example that you sent also works fine in ConTeXt
MKIV, but as soon as it comes to slightly more complex ligatures,
LuaTeX won't render them properly without writing some additional
support.

[NTG-context] where to place \index (again)
Hi all,
I'm in the final phase of editing a scholarly book with a pretty big index.
What follows is less a question than an observation: no matter where I place
the \index command, there can always be unwanted side effects:
foo\index{bar}: here, the entry may point to the page following the name, if
the page break falls at this position. Moreover, when this is followed by
punctuation or footnotes, there may be a line break between the word and the
punctuation/footnote mark. Placing it at the end of a long footnote is asking
for even more trouble, because there's a real risk that a page break may occur.
\index{bar}foo: the book is typeset with character protrusion, and this seems
to introduce additional material which can disturb line endings, so that lines
before such an indexed word appear to be missing one character at the end.
So this is what I observe. Working around this is possible, but painful - I
have to check every page for such bad linebreaks or misplaced punctuation
marks. My question then is: will it be possible, at one point in luatex
development, to find a more robust solution for this? This would be wonderful,
I think!
All best
Thomas

(I can introduce a couple of processing modes if needed, but then you
have to check if an index entry points to a word starting on a previous
page. In any case, changing the default behaviour might have other side
effects for existing documents.)

The effect is caused by \forcecolorhack and when uncomment

[NTG-context] Current Commands/Columns
Is there some sort of guide to which commands are still used in ConTeXt or a
latest edition of the main manual? I downloaded a bunch of manuals
from the main website to learn from, and some of the commands aren't
affecting my output. I'm particularly confused about how to create
and setup columns. I've read about using
\setuplayout[columns=somenumber] with \layoutcolumnoffset{somecolumn},
\setupcolumns with \start, \stopcolumns, and \column, and
\setlayer[text][column=1]{some text}
(which doesn't seem to work at all) in the style guide.

There’s a sort-of reference maintained by Wolfgang:
https://bitbucket.org/wolfs/commands
in addition to the reference on the wiki:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Reference/en
and the latest manual:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/manual_being_revised
.
I downloaded a bunch of manuals
from the main website to learn from, and some of the commands aren't
affecting my output. I'm particularly confused about how to create
and setup columns. I've read about using
Have you consulted the wiki page?
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns
\setuplayout[columns=somenumber] with \layoutcolumnoffset{somecolumn},
\setupcolumns with \start, \stopcolumns, and \column, and
\setlayer[text][column=1]{some text}
(which doesn't seem to work at all) in the style guide.
Can you please provide a minimal example as to how you invoked
the above commands?
Regards, Philipp

[NTG-context] Large Figure on Landscape Orientation
Hey folks,
I'm having difficulty getting an external image to display on its own
page, with the page in landscape mode, and the image uniformly scaled as
large as can fit on that page.
Relevant portions of my environment file include...
\setuplayout
[\c!location=\v!middle,
\c!style=\ss,
\c!backspace=2.5cm,
\c!topspace=1.5cm,
\c!width=16cm,
\c!margindistance=.25cm,
\c!margin=2.5cm,
\c!height=\v!middle]
\definelayout
[fullpage]
[\c!backspace=0pt,
\c!topspace=0pt,
\c!width=\v!middle,
\c!height=\v!middle,
\c!header=0pt,
\c!footer=0pt]
\definepapersize[main][A4][A4]
\definepapersize[diagram][A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
And the actual image in my component is here:
\page
\setuppapersize[diagram]
\placefigure
[force][figure:MyImage]
{My image caption.}
{\externalfigure[MyImage][factor=max]}
\page
\setuppapersize[main]
The document is all in portrait mode, save the page with the figure
which is landscaped, as intended. But the image sits only occupying the
top left quarter of the page. I've tried changing factor from max to
broad and fit, and to no avail.

I would, but getting ConTeXt alone up and running has taken weeks.
If you have it up and running, you can use it now also for XeTeX.
The only difference is that you have to run texexec --xtx filename
as opposed to context filename.
You'd think it would just be something really simple like
\switchfont[devangari]
तरीकिन
\unswitchfont
With ConTeXt+XeTeX it boils down to:
% this is plain xetex font switch; see next example
\font\devanagari=Devanagari MT:script=Deva
\starttext
{\devanagari तरीकिन}
\stoptext
Or the following one that could work in both XeTeX and LuaTeX with MKIV:
\definefontfeature[devanagari][script=deva]
\definefontsynonym[devanagari][name:Devanagari MT][features=devanagari]
\starttext
{\definedfont[devanagari] तरीकिन}
\stoptext
See attachments. XeTeX should work fine for you, the only question is
whether you need any MKIV features or not. If you do need them, you
could use Aditya's approach to insert snipets compiled with XeTeX (it
will happen automatically), if you don't need them you just take XeTeX
and you are done. The example that you sent also works fine in ConTeXt
MKIV, but as soon as it comes to slightly more complex ligatures,
LuaTeX won't render them properly without writing some additional
support.
Mojca
Thanks Mojca. The problem is it looks like XeTeX may not fully support
some of the features I need like mathematical characters and such yet.
Although I have no doubt it probably will eventually.

[NTG-context] Trailing Space after \cldcontext
Hey list,
Is there any way to remove the trailing space that appears to be
automatically inserted when \cldcontext output is captured? For
instance,
Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultofbzr revno}.
Will show Bazaar revision 43 .
I've manually checked the output of the command to run and it doesn't
appear to add that space character itself, so I am wondering if
os.resultof is appending the extraneous space?

It adds a newline, that's like a space. See this example:
\starttext
Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultofecho 123}.
Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultofecho -n 123}.
Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultofdummy=`bzr revno`; echo -n $dummy}.
Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultofbzr revno | tr -d '\\n'}.
\stoptext
