Re: [NTG-context] replacement for \getcitedata

[Michael Eidenbenz]

thanks.
but i'm encountering my old problem:

\externalfigure[\cite[file][Eidenbenz2016]]

gives me an error.
Do I need a lua approach here?

This is not the right approach, as explained earlier.

in which I can look up by a function, which allows the following command:

For my purpose, the table would have 114 entries.

You'd better change TeX's default behavior.


huh?

each language can has its own rules ... spacing after period or comma is 
one, but also think of quotes in quotations etc; and, the french have 
spacing before and after : ; . , (it has always been a selling point for 
tex to be able to deal with it)

Not only French, it is also the case for traditional Arabic typesetting,
though people tend to follow the English rules these days.

Thanks, but that doesn't change the spacing, in my environment
at least.  (I use texlive-context on the testing distribution
of Debian.)

I think the command \  inserts an inter-word spacing,
not an inter-sentence spacing.  You can compare whether

   USA.\ This is another sentence

gives the same result as

   USA\spacefactor1000. This is another sentence

I know there is a typographic style where the inter-word
and inter-sentence spacings are the same.  But, by default,
ConTeXt uses a larger inter-sentence spacing than the
inter-word spacing.  In such a case, there has to be a means
to indicate an inter-sentence spacing when a sentence ends
with a capital letter and a period.

Ryo

The TeXbook suggest to use \null before the period,
e.g. USA\null. This is another sentence but I would prefer
here LaTeX's \...@.

Sorry, I forgot to search the ML first.

\select works; good to learn about that mechanism (I hope it won't
