[NTG-context] XeTeX hangs
If I try to compile the folllowing code with XeTeX, it hangs (as if
it was waiting for further input):
\catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^f0} % only hangs for F0, other numbers are OK
\starttext
ð
\stoptext
I didn't manage to test the same example with plain XeTeX (tetex is
a bit misconfigured since the standalone ConTeXt is installed), but
Jonathan says that it runs OK on his computer. Is my system broken
again or are some other black forces working anywhere?
Thanks,

[NTG-context] Textbackground overlapping
Hello,
When the backgrounded stuff starts from one page up to the following, it
doesn't take care about the bottom footnotes, so that they are covered by
the background.
Here is a small example:
\definecolor[ScreenGray][s=.95]
\definetextbackground[grayback]
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=ScreenGray,
frame=on,
strut=yes,
width=broad,
location=paragraph,
framecolor=ScreenGray,
leftoffset=\topskipgap,
before=\blank,
after=\blank,
align=right]
\starttext
A footnote\footnote{Covered by the background, right?}.

[NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages that English
Hello Hans,after an upgrade I noticed thar the index sorting works even worse than before (tested on Czech, Chinese and Japanese, but probably related to non-ASCII characters in common).With TeXExec 5.4.3, all words beginning with national (accented) characters were put into a separate ("symbols") group and placed before "A". This was not good but more or less acceptable.With TeXExec 6.2.0, words beginning with accented characters are placed under certain unaccented letter. My colleague found out that these words are sorted according the first unaccented letter. This is unacceptable and unusable.We do a "work-around" so we try to avoid indexing words beginning with accented charaters. But it's impossible in many cases.I'd like to ask you to improve the index sorting. Could I help or contribute in some way?Attached is a testing file, which creates 2 indexes from various Czech words (covering the Czech alphabet). The index should be sorted exactly that way as the terms are written in the file.Thanks,Richard

[NTG-context] Textbackground overlapping (2)
Hello,
Sorry, just another overlapping case I should have put in the preceding
mail: when a float cuts the backgrounded stuff, the float is backgrounded
too. Maybe harder to fix.
An example showing both cases (footnote + float):
\definecolor[ScreenGray][s=.95]
\definetextbackground[grayback]
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=ScreenGray,
frame=on,
strut=yes,
width=broad,

Re: [NTG-context] figure directory is sort of searched
The figure searching code gets confused if a file of the same
basename (but in a different directory) has already been loaded.
Looking a bit into this, it seems that the decision about whether a
figure is already loaded is made in core-fig.tex, in
\def\calculateexternalfigure[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6]%
...
\ifcase\figurestatus
\let\@@efframe\v!on
\let\@@efobject\v!no
\showmessage\m!figures1\@@effilename
\or
\showmessage\m!figures2\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures3{\@@effullname,\@@eflenttype}%
\or
\showmessage\m!figures4\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures5{\@@effullname,\@@efloadname}%
\or % no message
\doifnot\@@efsymbol\v!yes{\showmessage\m!figures8\@@effullname}%
\fi
...
The no message comment suggests that when \figurestatus isn't set,
the message shown is figures8, which is
8: figureobject -- is reused
But I couldn't figure out who sets \figurestatus and where the
judgement of 'already loaded' is made. The comment at the beginning
of the above \def (this whole mess needs a clean up anyway) scared
me away :-)

Re: [NTG-context] XeTeX hangs
Hi Mojca,
Trying your minimal file on my Mac OS X, with XeConTeXt or with plain
XeTeX, I observe the same hanging...
However, the following, taken out of an example sent to you by
Jonathan K., works fine with both (indeed commenting out \starttext
and \stoptext in plain XeTeX):
\starttext
\font\lmec = ec-lmr10 at 36 pt
\lmec
Testing... ð
Testing... ^^F0
\catcode`č=\active \defč{^^a3}
\catcode`š=\active \defš{^^b2}
\catcode`ž=\active \defž{^^ba}
Testing... čšž
\stoptext
while the following results in a PDF file with Testing... ° 0
\starttext
\catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0}
Testing... ð
\stoptext
Needless to tell you that all this seems extremely obscure to me...
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] t-bib (extra special experimental version), XML and nocite
Hello,
I'm trying to get my XML citation definitions, which look like so:
cite id=verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05 opt=no/
to differentiate between no and t-bib options I hand into the opt flag
like this:
\defineXMLargument
[cite]
[opt=]
{%
\doifelse{\XMLop{opt}}{no}
{%
\expanded{\nocite[\XMLop{id}]}%
}
{%
\expanded{\cite[\XMLop{opt}][\XMLop{id}]}%
}
}
With this definition something like:
cite id=verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05 opt=authoryears/
works just fine, but
cite id=verma:04,mayor:05a,griffin:05 opt=no/ fails to show up in the
biblist.
I'm not sure whether this is related to the fact that I'm using an
experimental t-bib version which Taco provided to enable correct chapter
specific bibliographies.
If you have any insight into what I'm doing wrong: please help.
