Adishila is a great font too and comes in many more styles (letter press, etc)
than Shobhika. However the latter has more conjuncts. For example:
ङ्क्ल
ङ्ग्ध्व
appear as halant forms in Adishila while they are proper conjuncts in
Shobhika. Of course, these are rare conjuncts, so …
Anyway, in ConTeXt Adishila works well with
features=devanagari-one

It is very much an ongoing effort. I am working on some proper documentation
soon to serve as a guide for fonts (what works, what doesn't, fixes, hacks,
etc). But mostly it is in a very usable state (for the most part).
I am very much a non-expert and helping in very little ways. It is Hans in the
background who is doing all the really important things with the code, design
and engineering of the system. So really, we should thank him!

> - initial indic transliteration support .. recent indic (font)
> experiences and transliteration tricks will be eplained by kauśika
Recently when we were troubled by incorrect rendering of certain conjuncts in
malayalam, Hans added a new font-feature. More below*, but first some
background: from my testing, the main reason for the problems with fonts seems
to come from the varied interpretations and/or implementations of OTF
specification. To add to this complexity there are two script tags (v1, v2 in
OTF and -one, -two in ConTeXt) for each writing system (script). While there
are fonts which work very well right away many others have issues and the
feature was added to somewhat alleviate these issues.
*The feature is 'indic'. It has two aspects: 'movematra' and 'conjuncts'.
conjuncts takes values: mixed | continue | quit | auto
movematra takes values: default | leftbeforebase | auto
By default
indic=auto
for indic scripts. So this "should work" in most cases.
In case there are issues, I have seen that the following approach usually
yields best result in debugging:
• try to switch between the -one and -two version of the features (i.e. use
the v1 or v2 OTF script tag): some fonts may have some rules defined only under
one of the script tags. (I am not an expert in fonts but with my testing of
free fonts I have seen this).
• if that does not fix (the particular issue), revert to a working feature and
then set the indic feature as indic={movematra=default,conjuncts=quit} to see
• Please see:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg99691.html
issues usually have a pattern (across languages/scripts so some hacks might
work)
For conjuncts, 'mixed' and 'auto' are synonymous. Setting conjuncts=mixed
ensures that for some fonts conjuncts with the reph forms are rendered
correctly. (This was tested with a relatively new font in malayalam using the
mlm2 script tag).
For problematic fonts, if one can identify which conjuncts work under which
script tag and/or with what settings for indic, then, using ConTeXt feature
sets one can easily fix rendering in documents by doing, for instance
{\feature[=][devanagari-two] …}, and/or
{\feature[=][devanagari-one] …} accordingly
See the comprehensive wiki page:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Featuresets
for more details on how such feautresets might be built and applied.
Now, a brief note on the transliterations macros. First, one specifies that
indic transliteration is desired with:
\usetransliteration[indic]
Now, one can transliterate sanskrit to and from various forms by using
\transliterate[scheme]{ … }
where scheme is one of:
• iast to deva
• deva to iast
• deva to mlym
which are respectively the following schemes :
• IAST → Devanagari
• Devanagari → IAST
• Devanagari → Malayalam
More schemes will be added in the near future for various other indic scripts
as well. Currently there is only support for sanskrit language, which we can
extend to other languages (wherever the script allows).
Additionally, there is also
\definetransliteration[…][…]
which can be used to define a specific transliteration block.
So, one just sets vector accordingly to get the desired transliteration block.
Please see below a minimal example for both:
% SOF
\usetransliteration[indic]
\definetransliteration
[MyIASTtoDeva]
[color=blue,
style=bold,
language=sa,
vector={iast to deva}]
\starttransliteration[MyIASTtoDeva]%[color=green] can set a new color here
idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetramityabhidīyate.
etadyo vetti taṁ prāhuḥ kṣetrajña iti tadvidaḥ.
\stoptransliteration
\transliteration[MyIASTtoDeva]{idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetramityabhidīyate}
% or directly
\transliterate[iast to deva]{idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetramityabhidīyate}

This Latin part has good support for the roman (IAST) transliteration for Sanskrit. But strictly only the IAST spec character for Sanskrit are available. It also has glyphs for some commonly used mathematical symbols. Noto Serif Devanagari is also decent for just Devanagari (not sure of the IAST part).

I have myself been using Shobhika with relative success for quite some time
now. Due to its great conjunct support, it is a good font as well. In ConTeXt
it is advisable to use it with the deva script tag. So, with
features=devanagari-one
Please note that it is missing some IAST glyphs
ḻ (=ळ) l̥ ,are just two examples.
[For roman transliteration (IAST), I have seen that the Brill font has very
good glyph coverage but it does not have vedic accents IIRC.]
However, there is one (minor) issue in the devanagari side of things:
See here (long read):
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg99691.html
TLDR: there are one set of conjuncts which don't work right-away, namely the
र-based conjunct forms with the following consonant: छ, ट, ठ, ड, ढ with post-
base and below-base vowel marks, namely ी, ा, ौ, ु and ू
For example छ्री will not render as expected in ConTeXt (with devanagari-one).
To
fix this one can temporarily switch to the devanagari-two feature set as
follows
{\feature[=][devanagari-two] छ्री}
which can be wrapped into a macro.
Otherwise, all the features work well.

Do I need to enable a particular feature? Unfortunately some fonts don't work properly in ConTeXt. Noto Sans Devanagari is one of them. The accompanying serif font (Noto Serif Devanagari) works just fine (mostly, there are problems with that as well). In this specific case, there does not seem to be any fix (at least that I could find).

If you don't need a table, the following achieves the same:

After all, one can do

before 'Answers to exercises'.
If 'Exercises' and 'Answers to exercises' are some head structure (assuming

\definehead[exercises][subject]

I have been using ConTeXt to typeset documents in several Indic languages and have run into similar issues (in many languages). Please see this for a similar issue in some conjuncts for Devanagari: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg99691.html For what its worth, I have not had issues with some fonts while issues with others persist. Some of these issues we can work around as I have pointed out in the above posting. In almost all cases I encountered no issues while using Xe(La)Tex. Based on some advise from Hans and reading about these OTF features and their implementations in Indic fonts, I think these issues might be due to differences in implementation. [Not entirely sure since I am a novice]. My guess is that Harfbuzz (which is what Xe(La)TeX uses by default) uses some heuristics to work out these conjuncts (?!). To answer your specific question regarding the conjuncts in the given words you have to use some Unicode hacking to get what you want in ConTeXt. In each of the following ZWS refers to the Unicode character (zero-width space U+200B) 1. ശ്രീ This is typeset correctly by writing ശ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ീ 2. അശ്രു Typeset correctly with അശ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ൂ 3. ശുശ്രൂഷ Typeset correctly with ശുശ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ൂ + ഷ 4. പ്രാസം Typeset correctly with പ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ാ + സം 5. പ്രേയസി (rendered correctly as entered; no hacks necessary) 6. പ്രോഗ്രാം Typeset correctly with പ്രൊ + ഗ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ാ + ം where the last character is the Malayalam Anusvara. Consider yet another example: സാന്ദ്രാനന്ദാഅവബൊധാത്മകമ് Here the 'ന്ദ്രാ' conjunct is not typeset in ConTeXt. To fix this I do ന്ദ്ര + ZWS (U+200B) + ാ This is what I have been doing to ensure correct typesetting of Malayalam and other Indic languages in ConTeXt. Honestly, it is inconvenient since the .tex files containing Unicode are no longer sanitary. However, ConTeXt has so many remarkable features that the very thought of having to go back to (Xe)LaTeX (just for harfbuzz rendering) causes me immense pain. As far as I am concerned, in every other way ConTeXt simply has no match in the (Xe)LaTeX world. In my usage of ConTeXt for my academic work (in English with lots of mathematics) I have encountered no issues. Even if I did there was always some legitimate (non-hacky) fix for it. For me personally, the rendering in Indic languages is the only pain point with ConTeXt (which I am willing to live with). So I am willing to live with the drawbacks till the day they are hopefully fixed. Anyway, I hope you can use these fixes temporarily. For example, if your editor supports it, you can replace all glyphs with this issue with the corresponding recipe involving ZWS. Dear Hans and other developers of ConTeXt, LuaTeX, If you happen to see this please look into the font system (where it concerns Indic systems). The present issue is very similar to the one I posted about earlier: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg99691.html I have described the issue and the hacks to fix it the best I can.

Here is something I quickly wrote up:
First, define some labels for the columns of the ToC —
\definesynonyms[toclabel][toclabel][\TOCLabel]
\setupsynonyms[toclabel][textstyle=\sc]
\toclabel{TOCNumberLabel}{Chapter}
\toclabel{TOCTitleLabel}{Title}
\toclabel{TOCPageLabel}{Page}
Then compute the width of the chapter-number and page-number labels
\setwidthof\TOCLabel{TOCNumberLabel}\to\TOCNumberLabelWidth
\setwidthof\TOCLabel{TOCPageLabel}\to\TOCPageLabelWidth
and define a 'paragraphs' block with 3 columns with a separation of 1em between
each column
\defineparagraphs
[TOCpar]
[n=3]
\setupparagraphs
[TOCpar]
[each]
[distance=1em]
Set the width of the first column to the width of the label (and center chapter
number)
\setupparagraphs
[TOCpar]
[1]
[width=\dimexpr\TOCNumberLabelWidth,
align=middle]
and similarly for the third column (and center the page number)
\setupparagraphs
[TOCpar]
[3]
[width=\dimexpr\TOCPageLabelWidth,
align=middle]
Finally, wrap it all up in the macro
\define[3]\TOCEntry{%
\startTOC
#1 \TOCpar #2 \TOCpar #3%
\stopTOC%
}
and indicate the command to use in the setup
\setuplist
[chapter]
[alternative=interactive,
command=\TOCEntry,
after=\endgraf] % required
The ToC along with column labels is placed with
\TOCLabel{TOCNumberLabel}%
\hfill\TOCLabel{TOCTitleLabel}\hfill%
\TOCLabel{TOCPageLabel}
\placecontent
Of course, you can choose to not set the 'align' keys in \setupparagraphs[TOC]
if center alignment is not required/desired.
Hope this helps.

Please read '\setupMPtext' as '\setMPtext' in the above. Apologies for the
typos.

[NTG-context] [MetaFun] Trying to understand outlinetext, 'stretch' effect and \kerncharacters
Dear list,
I have the following graphic
\startuseMPgraphic{TitleGraphic}
draw outlinetext.b (\MPstring{TitleText})
(withcolor "titlefg")
(withcolor "titleoutline");
\stopuseMPgraphic
which I tried to use as follows to produce a stylized 'title' head:
\setupMPtext{TitleText}{%
\starteffect[stretch]\bfc\namedstructurevariable{title}{title}\stopeffect}
\useMPgraphic{TitleGraphic}
[colors "titlefg" and "titleoutline" are set using \definecolor]
But, the 'stretch' effect caused by \starteffect[stretch]…\stopeffect does not
work with 'outlinetext' method in the MPgraphic. I have verified that the
desired effect is produced using 'textext' method instead. But in that case I
have to cheat (i.e draw twice; once with blownup) to get the text outline.
Now, if I write instead
\setupMPtext{TitleText}{%
\kerncharacters[0.15]\bfc\namedstructurevariable{title}{title}}
\useMPgraphic{TitleGraphic}
then the desired effect is produced. As such, my purpose is served well by
using \kerncharacters.
Nonetheless, I request your kind help in understanding why this is happening
and/or if I am doing something wrong.
Thanks,
kauśika

[NTG-context] Enumeration numbering in the left margin
Dear list, I have the following enumeration block. \defineenumeration[verse] \setupenumeration[verse] [alternative=leftmargin, text=, width=fit, distance=1em, way=bysection] I actually want to (flush) left align the enumeration's number inside the left margin and give it a blue color. But even if I have \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft] there is no alignment, no color. However, if I do \setupenumeration[verse] [alternative=leftmargin, text=, width=\leftmarginwidth, headcolor=bblue4, distance=0em, way=bysection] I am able to get the desired effect. Is this the 'correct' way to do it? I mean to ask, am I doing something wrong with \setupmargindata or is this expected behaviour.

I was able to get some working examples using the second answer here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42456/creating-non-math-mode-substitutes-for-overset-and-underset-not-dependent-on-t
But, I was just curious if there is a more elegant ConTeXt specific way to
achieve this.

[NTG-context] Achieving the effect of \overset outside math mode
Dear list,
I don't have a MWE per se, but as the title suggests, I want to be able to
achieve the effect of \overset outside math mode. As I understand, \overset
itself is implemented using \mathop and \limits.
Currently to achieve this I have defined some macros using \offset thus :
\define[1]\pabv{\dontleavehmode\offset[width=0em,y=-16pt,x=3pt]{#1}}
Unfortunately, I have to hard code the x values. So I have define several such
macros with different offsets. Not an elegant solution, but it is what I could
muster.
So, my objective is to place a smaller piece of text above another larger
piece of text so that the text above is centered w.r.t the text below.
Please advise.
Thanks,
kauśika
