Dear gang,
Midsentences in the ConTeXt sense are quite common. Consider the following:
===
\setuplanguage[en]
[leftsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace},
rightsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace},
leftsubsentence={{} \textbar\nobreakspace},
rightsubsentence={{} \textbar\nobreakspace},
midsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace}]
\starttext
This is a sentence|<|this is a subsentence|>|that includes a subsentence.
\blank
This is a sentence|<|this is a subsentence|<|this is a nested
subsentence|>|that includes a nested subsentence|>|that includes a
subsentence.
\blank
This is a sentence that ends in a midsentence\midsentence Here is the
midsentence.
\stoptext
===
A primary subsentence or nested subsentence is marked off by |<| and |>|
respectively.
Is there an analogous symbol for a midsentence, which requires a mark only
at its beginning?
If not, how can I make a private one? For example:
This is a sentence that ends in a midsentence|<>|Here is the midsentence.
How can I properly define |<>| to be an alias for \midsentence, in a way
consistent with the rest of the subsentence mechanism?
Note: Could only find one reference to midsentence in the sources:
lang-ini.mkiv, line 354
If this is not already supported, would like to propose that |<>| be added
to ConTeXt as an alias for \midsentence.
BTW: It may appear that one can just use |<| to mark a midsentence, but
then the next subsentence in the document will be treated as a nested
subsentence.
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes
Idris
