Re: [NTG-context] Problem with ConTeXt (MkIV), Hebrew and ligatures

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.

Doesn’t work. What helps is to comment out the “appendaction” in
char-utf.lua or the corresponding table for U0xfb35 in
char-def.lua. My guess is that this is the case because the .tex
file is processed *before* you can disable it.

Did not work for me. However there was discussion that the directive
should be invoked from command line.
But what left me really wondering this time was following. I tried to
comment out "U0xfb35" table in "char-def.lua" for proof that this
solution should work at all. However, for my surprise, it had no effect
at all. For just in case, I even purged my Ubuntu PPA packaged version
of ConTeXt to make sure that this modification I made to standalone
version is really used. No effect. I also checked that my TeX file
should have the correct characters, not the already combined ones. No
error in there either.
Unfortunately internals of ConTeXt seems so complex for my level of
programming skills that this time I could not think of anything more to try.

Does it work when you add
\enabledirectives[filters.utf.collapse]
at the begin of your document.

Yes, I think so, too. Btw. according to this faq:
http://www.unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html#Pf1
these are not normalizations but in fact some kind of
second-class ligatures that the unicode people seem to grudgingly

Doesn’t work. What helps is to comment out the “appendaction” in
char-utf.lua or the corresponding table for U0xfb35 in
char-def.lua. My guess is that this is the case because the .tex
file is processed *before* you can disable it.

"Since I last played with the latest ConTeXt MkIV, there has been
introduced this new feature. It now seems to combine Hebrew characters
automatically when possible to ligatures. So for example. If I have a
word with following two characters:
U+05D5 (HEBREW LETTER VAV)
U+05BC (HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ)
ConTeXt will combine these to:
U+FB35 (HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH)
However, I would need to disable this feature for a number of reasons.
For example, this breaks my little database query, because the query
key
is changed before(?) macro gets it.
So if somebody would know how to turn this off and maybe also that what

It depends on the font ... normally you can disable this by *not* using
the mark and mkmk features
Hans
Ok, I have now tried turning off all kinds of features without luck. So,
I tried putting together minimal test case. I suspect that there should
be done something more than just turn off some font features. However,
my ConTeXt skills are very limited so I can be wrong.
The goal is that the word passed from ConTeXt file remains as it is
written and gives unicode characters U+5e1, U+5d5, U+5bc and U+5e1. This
is what already happens when the word is in the lua file.
Simo
PS: In case this matters. My ConTeXt MkIV version is "2012.09.23 12:40".
It should be the latest for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin that is in
the Adam Reviczky's PPA.

end
I see three characters next to each other so what exactly is the problem?
(BTW, take a look at goodies-002.tex in the test suite ... you can
define colored glyphs as a feature)
Hans
Sorry for being unclear, I try to clarify. The problem is:
1. I have tex file with which calls a macro with argument that has
characters U+5d5 and U+5bc.
2. Macro passes argument further to lua code. When it gets there
characters have turned to U+fb35.
Hi,
I don’t have clue about hebrew but isn’t this a correct
normalization[0], not a ligature? If so, the behavior of Luatex
is perfectly fine. Lua otoh treats the string as a sequence of
bytes, which is just how it treats strings everywhere.
[0] http://www.unicode.org/charts/normalization/chart_Hebrew.html
Regards
Philipp
In that case you can try
utilities.sequencers.disableaction(resolvers.openers.helpers.textfileactions,"characters.filters.utf.collapse")
if this is needed, I can provide a directive for it

Hi,
I don’t have clue about hebrew but isn’t this a correct
normalization[0], not a ligature? If so, the behavior of Luatex
is perfectly fine. Lua otoh treats the string as a sequence of
bytes, which is just how it treats strings everywhere.

"Since I last played with the latest ConTeXt MkIV, there has been
introduced this new feature. It now seems to combine Hebrew characters
automatically when possible to ligatures. So for example. If I have a
word with following two characters:
U+05D5 (HEBREW LETTER VAV)
U+05BC (HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ)
ConTeXt will combine these to:
U+FB35 (HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH)
However, I would need to disable this feature for a number of reasons.
For example, this breaks my little database query, because the query
key
is changed before(?) macro gets it.
So if somebody would know how to turn this off and maybe also that what
has changed."
It depends on the font ... normally you can disable this by *not* using
the mark and mkmk features
Hans
Ok, I have now tried turning off all kinds of features without luck. So,
I tried putting together minimal test case. I suspect that there should
be done something more than just turn off some font features. However,
my ConTeXt skills are very limited so I can be wrong.
The goal is that the word passed from ConTeXt file remains as it is
written and gives unicode characters U+5e1, U+5d5, U+5bc and U+5e1. This
is what already happens when the word is in the lua file.
Simo
PS: In case this matters. My ConTeXt MkIV version is "2012.09.23 12:40".
It should be the latest for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin that is in

Hans
Sorry for being unclear, I try to clarify. The problem is:
1. I have tex file with which calls a macro with argument that has
characters U+5d5 and U+5bc.
2. Macro passes argument further to lua code. When it gets there
characters have turned to U+fb35.
3. When the lua code then compares the U+fb35 with xml file that has the
original forms U+5d5 and U+5bc it of course fails.
So, the problem is that there is this phase 2 that has not always
happened. If possible I would like to turn it off somehow. Of course I
could try to write some workaround code to countermeasure this
substitution or what it should be called. But that could be complicated
and lead to more problems.
