Re: [NTG-context] \unit and french
Hi Romain,
If inputting in the English format is an option, this works:
\setupunit[method=3] % comma as decimal mark, thin space for digits seperator
\units{12,345.00} %-- 12 345,00
The problem is that inputting in the French format does not work:
there seems to be a bug when order=reverse.
% doesn't work, of course: unexpected digits seperator after decimal mark (.)
\setupunit[method=3, order=normal]
\units{12.345,00}
% doesn't work correctly: comma is accepted as decimal mark at parse time,
% but then printed as thin space anyway. ?!?
\setupunit[method=3, order=reverse]
\units{12.345,00} %-- 12,345 00
I hope this helps you a bit.
Kind regards,
Sietse

Re: [NTG-context] \unit and french
Hi,
Thanks for the response.

\setupunit[method=3] % comma as decimal mark, thin space for digits
seperator \units{12,345.00} %-- 12 345,00
Yes, I confirm it works (with \unit{12,345.00}). I'd prefer inputting in
french but this should do the job.
% doesn't work correctly: comma is accepted as decimal mark at parse time,
% but then printed as thin space anyway. ?!?
\setupunit[method=3, order=reverse]
\units{12.345,00} %-- 12,345 00
This one should give what I need. Can someone confirm there is a bug here and
if so, is it possible to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] Frozen callback.
Why is document.MyCharacterMess a string? The sequencers use loadstring() internally (util-seq.lua), so you need to supply the namespace as a string. This happens all over the place with action/callbacks. more flexible this way (one can redefine, nil or whatever such functions) It is like a pointer to a pointer. Or a reference to a reference, since we do not use pointers in Lua. ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

It is a bug and I know what’s wrong in the code but you have to wait till next
week
when Hans is back from the conference. I going to send then a mail to Hans with
a description of this bug and also the one in Marcos link, both are in the Lua
part
of the code and it’s no so easy for me to fix them.

Actually, this bug is in the ConTeXt part of the code, in phys-dim.lua:
-\unexpanded\def\digitsfinalcomma {\digitscommasymbol } %
more for tracing
\unexpanded\def\digitsfinalperiod {\digitsperiodsymbol} % more
for tracing
\unexpanded\def\digitsintermediatecomma {\digitscommasymbol } % more
for tracing
-\unexpanded\def\digitsintermediateperiod {\digitsperiodsymbol} %
more for tracing
+\unexpanded\def\digitsfinalcomma {\digitsperiodsymbol } %
more for tracing
\unexpanded\def\digitsfinalperiod {\digitsperiodsymbol} % more
for tracing
\unexpanded\def\digitsintermediatecomma {\digitscommasymbol } % more
for tracing
+\unexpanded\def\digitsintermediateperiod {\digitscommasymbol} % more
for tracing
The mistake probably arose because \digitscommasymbol always
corresponds to the intermediate mark (the digits separator), not
always to the comma. I know the name wrong-footed me when I was
reading the code.
Romain: you can make this change in phys-dim.lua (around line 220),
then remake the formats with
context --make cont-en
Then this should work correctly:
% 3: decimal comma, digits space
% 4: decimal point, digits space
% English input (order=normal)
\setupunits[method=3]
\unit{11,122.13 micro mol per second} \par
\setupunits[method=4]
\unit{21,222.23 micro mol per second} \par
% French input (order=reverse)
\setupunits[method=3, order=reverse]
\unit{31.322,33 micro mol per second} \par
\setupunits[method=4, order=reverse]
\unit{41.422,43 micro mol per second} \par
Cheers,
Sietse

Now that I learned to make modifications to ConTeXt effective, I made following observations. If I comment out lines 485 and 486 from char-utf.lua (should be the only two lines of function characters.filters.utf.enable()) I am able to turn collapsing on and off with following command line calls. context --directives=filters.utf.collapse=true testcase.tex context --directives=filters.utf.collapse=false testcase.tex However, this also turns collapsing off by default. When there is no modifications to ConTeXt, I still don't know how to toggle this thing on and off. So, maybe char-utf.lua is still flawed or I am still missing something.
