Re: [NTG-context] \mainlanguage[pe]

2016-08-01 Thread Mohammad Hossein Bateni

Is there a trick to get over this issue?  Until a conversion mechanism like
what you suggested (\currentdate[persian->day,space,month,persian->month])
is implemented, can I somehow achieve a similar result, perhaps in a not so
clean way?

Can one reduce the result of \currentdate to a simple number by stripping
the additional stuff that is there?  Similarly, can I force \currentdate to
expand or is it a fundamental implementation limitation?

Can I access day, month and year values in Lua, to run some if statements,
etc.?  For instance, if it is the first day of April, change the font of
the document or something like that.

Re: [NTG-context] \mainlanguage[pe]

2016-07-08 Thread Meer, Hans van der

When naming these macros I would recommend to not use abbreviations like \jday, 
\jdate but rather using more explicite names like for example \jalaliday. 
Otherwise confusion with \jdate as a date in the Julian calendar easily could 
result.

Thanks, Wolfgang!

BTW why doesn't the following work?  it gives the 'missing number' error.

% \mainlanguage[en]
\romannumerals{\currentdate[day]}

1. The \currentdate command isn’t expandable and is therefore not 
expanded when you use it as argument for another command.


2. The \romannumerals commands expects a number as argument but 
\currentdate returns more than a simple number.

Wolfgang & Hans,

In customizing the date, is there a way to use a number converter on 
day and year?  In particular, I'd like to apply persiandecimals 
conversion on them.
You can only change the numbers for the day (see below, I used greek to 
demonstrate it) but it could be done better (e.g. 
\currentdate[persian->day,space,month,persian->month] with "->" as 
separator for the conversion and keyword).


%% begin example
\installlanguage[fa][state=start]

\defineconversion[fa][day][α,β,γ,δ,ε,ζ,η,θ,ι,κ,λ,μ]

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

\currentdate[day]

\language[fa]

\currentdate[day]

\stoptext
%% end example

(I have a similar question regarding \currentime.)

Not possible at the moment.

MkII (read: ConTeXt with pdfTeX) doesn't support typesetting in Arabic
script at all.

And support for XeTeX has always been limited in ConTeXt. So it's not
really strange if the language support is still missing. It can only
work in MkIV (and potentially in XeTeX, but I'm not sure how much
effort would be needed to make it work properly in XeTeX).

So feel free to contribute the translations as Wolfgang suggested.

How can one create a new language?  The languages manual

that this is possible.  Does that mean I need to send the request to

You can create a new language (and synonyms for it) with the 
\installlanguage command, below is a slightly modified version of the 
arabic entry. You can change the values for leftquotation etc. and send 
the result to Hans.
