Hello,
I just started to experiment with typesetting XML using ConTeXt ...
I ran into this problem which I'm unable to solve:
1) I added the following rule to my xml map file:
\defineXMLentity [en] --
2) yet calling &en; in my document results in the TeX equivalent of "-"
rather than "--" being typeset.
Any pointers?
add this to type-exa.tex (or to your doc file)
\starttypescript [serif,sans,mono] [handling] [noligs]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone ]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Bold]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Slanted]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Italic]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldSlanted]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\setupfontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldItalic]
[handling=\typescriptthree]
\stoptypescript
explanation for David Arnold (who is eager to know the obscure
typescript features -): the macro \typescriptprefix{serif} will expand
to Serif, because in type-def we have the definition:
\definetypescriptprefix [serif] [Serif]
\definetypescriptprefix [sans] [Sans]
\definetypescriptprefix [mono] [Mono]
so, instead of defining 3 times n_of_encodings we can stick to one
typescriptdefinition which is much more efficient.
ok, after this is done, you need to define a typeface using this
handling; because of the nature of the underlying tex font mechanism
(global optimizations in tex itself) we need to do it this way:
\usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs]
\definetypeface[mine][rm][serif][latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[mine][rm][serif][latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[mine,10pt]
\starttext
asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken
\stoptext
The noligs handling is selective (only ? ! - -- --- are taken care of,
so you keep the fi ligatures)
