 Great, thanks.  I wanted to make sure before mentioning I'm still
 seeing problems.  When you have a combination number/character
 sequence (i.e., 1D or 11-22+) and specify an alignment
 (flushleft/middle/flushright) spaces get inserted between the final
 digit and the first trailing character.  So 1D might print as 1 D,
 11-22+ prints as 11-22 +, etc.  This happens using . or , for
 alignment, it's not exclusive to aligning on a hyphen.
 
 i now have two methods, number and text and {-} triggers text
 
 you can force a method with text- and number-
 
 no upload yet
 
 I'll also add \nocharacteralign so that one can disable this mechanism in a 
 table cell.

This is all great, thank's so much for handling this so quickly!  I like the 
idea of keeping the old behavior as an alternative.

And now that I see what your new mode is attempting to accomplish, I think it 
will prove very useful.  It looks like you want to parse out the number from 
any preceding and following text, align the number on the alignment character, 
and pad out any text that precedes a number (like a currency symbol) to align 
on the left rather than be flush with the number.  I just wanted to point out 
that this only works if identical preceding and/or trailing text exists in 
every cell.

For example, this table doesn't align using flushleft, middle, or flushright 
(it will if you force text-{.}, but of course the parens won't align 
vertically):

\starttext
\bgroup
\setupTABLE[1,2][3,4,5,6][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter={.}]
\bTABLE[align={flushright}]
  \bTR \bTD   \eTD \eTR
  \bTR \bTD  x\eTD \eTR
  \bTR \bTD  1.2  \eTD \eTR
  \bTR \bTD  (1.2)\eTD \eTR
  \bTR \bTD 11.22 \eTD \eTR
  \bTR \bTD (11.22)   \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\egroup
\stoptext

Without having looked through the code, I wonder if in number mode you could 
first run the existing logic, and then finish off using the existing text logic 
to pad the outside (i.e., to the left of the left-hand text and to the right of 
the right-hand text)?

Anyway, for my purposes restoring the old mode as an option is perfect, I just 
wanted to mention this in case this wasn't the behavior you intended.
Thanks again!

Best regards,
Brian

in fact, the old behaviour is the default for number related seperators

Almost all of the tables I generate via code, not by hand, so I found it more 
convenient to include a trailing % because I occasionally did run across an 
instance where it mattered, and wasn't (and am not) sufficiently skilled at 
TeX/ConTeXt to know how to predict those occurrences.

It's somewhat similar for always wrapping the contents in {}, I thought I had 
run into some cases in the past where it was necessary, so just include them 
always rather than manually add them with the content when they are required.  
Are there negative consequences (performance, memory usage, ...) to writing it 
as I did?  Or is the difference just cosmetic?


the empty [] always has a performance hit, for {} it depends what extra 
restores have to happen

spaces.


i assume you haven't updated in a while as this is not something last 
beta specific


the alignment code has been redone some time ago (the general mechanism 
is more clever now) and it was mostly made for aligning numbers (not so 
much for your case as - is seen as minus)


anyhow, i made it work a bit better with tables (extra pass needed)

\starttext

\enabletrackers[typesetters.characteralign]

\bgroup
\setupTABLE[column][1][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter={,}]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD  1,2   \eTD \bTD  1,2  \eTD \bTD xxx \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD - 1,2  \eTD \bTD -1,2  \eTD \bTD xxx \eTD \eTR

\eTABLE
\egroup

\bgroup
\setupTABLE[column][1][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter={-}]
\setupTABLE[column][2][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter={\endash}]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD  1-2\eTD \bTD  1\endash2\eTD\bTD xxx \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD  1-2\eTD \bTD  1\endash2\eTD\bTD xxx \eTD \eTR

\bTR \bTD 11-22 + \eTD \bTD 11\endash22 + \eTD\bTD xxx \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\egroup

\stoptext

the next beta can handle this

Hi, I was testing the latest beta (2014.06.15) and noticed I am getting incorrect output

(bad.pdf) and my prior version (good.pdf, ConTeXt 2013.06.10).  You can see in the bad

i'll check it ... btw, you don't need all these %'s after a multi-char \cs

Re: [NTG-context] latest beta, problem with natural tables and alignment character

2014-06-16 Thread Brian Landy
Almost all of the tables I generate via code, not by hand, so I found it more 
convenient to include a trailing % because I occasionally did run across an 
instance where it mattered, and wasn't (and am not) sufficiently skilled at 
TeX/ConTeXt to know how to predict those occurrences.

It's somewhat similar for always wrapping the contents in {}, I thought I had 
run into some cases in the past where it was necessary, so just include them 
always rather than manually add them with the content when they are required.  
Are there negative consequences (performance, memory usage, ...) to writing it 
as I did?  Or is the difference just cosmetic?

Best regards,
Brian
