Hello,
Thanks! What's the difference between \sc and \setff{smallcaps}?
Could something like "\def\sc{\setff{smallcaps}}" in the preamble harm
in any way?
Depending on your answers, I would perhaps request to trigger
\setff{smallcaps} by \sc in the core.

I've done as you suggest and downloaded the minimals beta leaving the

Thomas, I do not take it in a negative way; simply practical. I take
seriously both the principle and practice of open-source endeavors
like ConTeXt, and the scholarly work it can support. I hope and intend
that as I get up to speed, I'll be able to make some small
contribution, even if it's only posting the commented example of our
project on the wiki. I've done some programming in Python, and am
rather keen to learn something about Lua, as they have quite a bit in
common. It's unlikely I'll be able to make substantive contributions
to the code, but not impossible in the fullness of time. I'm mindful
of the generosity of all involved, and all on this list, and offer
great thanks and kudos.
Your cautionary note on the bilingual edition is taken to heart, and I
have recommended that for the time being our project will not try to
implement a facing page translation. This remains an important
desideratum for us however, and I will attend with great interest your
progress, and the insights of any engaged in similar efforts. The
specific use-case we have in mind, and the problems associated with it
may be of interest to others and I'll post it on the wiki.

Re: [NTG-context] Proposal for math mappings
I'll try once more to explain the setup.
If I understand the unicode philosopy correctly, then we do not any font
switching macros in math. If we want math italic A, we can simply type
0x1D434; if we want math bold A, we can type 0x1D400; and so on.
One difficulty with this approach is that it is not easy to type (and see)
these characters in an editor. One way to circumvent this, as is done by
the latex unicode-math package, is to define a macro for each symbol:
\mathitA, \mathbfA, etc.
Even if we define such macros, writing such macros is inconvinient. A more
nature way is to write $A {\bf A}$ rather than $\mathitA \mathbfA$ etc.
Traditionally, commands like \bf, \it, etc are font switches. However, in
unicode math, rather than font switches, these macros are simply input
mapping commands. Thus, by default, 0x0041 (latin A) maps to 0x1D434 (math
italic A), and so on. If \bf is active, 0x0041 (latin A) maps to 0x1D400
(math bold A), and so on.
Roughly speaking, this is how \bf. \it, \bi, \cal, \Bbd, etc work in the
background. However, at present these mappings are unsatisfactory. For
example, by default, 0x03B1 (Greek alpha) maps 0x1D6FC (Math italic small
alpha), while 0xO391 (Greek capital Alpha) maps to itself. What should
these mappings be when \bf is active? Or when \bi is active?
The trouble with the current implementation of \bf, \bi, \cal, etc is that
these mappings are not explicitly specified. My proposal is to allow users
to customize these mappings.
I agree that digits, upper and lower case latin and greek does not capture
all mathematic characters for which such mappings are needed. Similar
mappings might also be needed for some symbols like nabla (are there other
such symbols?). These can also be added as a key like
nabla={normal,italic}
or
nabla={bold,normal}
Hopefully, the above explanation makes more sense.

On Thu, 9 Dec 2010, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
This is a proposal for a new way of selecting math mappings in MkIV. I want
to get input from other math users whether this syntax would take care of all
scenarios or not.
There are five different ranges in mathematics:
- digits (0..9)
- lower case Latin (abc..z)
- upper case Latin (ABC..Z)
- lower case Greek (αβγ..ζ)
- upper case Greek (ΑΒΓ..Z)
A user may want to control what each range is mapped to. So, I suggest a
setup
command
\setupmathmappings
[
digits={style,alternative},
lclatin={style,alternative},
uclatin={style,alternative},
lcgreek={style,alternative},
ucgreek={style,alternative},
]
where the options for style are
normal, bold
while the options for alternative are
normal, italic, sans, sansitalic, blackboard, script
This command will the mappings for each range. **NOTE**: All combinations are
not valid.
A companion command
\definemathmappings
[whatever]
[]
can be used to define multiple mappings. These mappings can be used by
\setupmathmappings[whatever]
(An alternative is that these mappings are activated using \whatever ...)
For example, we can define a command to typeset vectors using
\definemathmappings
[vectors]
[ digits={bold,normal},
lclatin={bold,normal},
uclatin={bold,normal},
lcgreek={bold,normal},
ucgreek={bold,normal}]
\def\VEC{\groupedcommand{\setupmathmappings[vector]}{}}
If later, we want to represent vectors as sans serif, we can use
\definemathmappings
[vectors]
[ digits={normal,sans},
lclatin={normal,sans},
uclatin={normal,sans},
lcgreek={normal,sans},
ucgreek={normal,sans}]
This interface makes it easy to switch math fonts for disiplines that want
different style for different alphabet ranges.
It is relatively easy to implement the above interface. All we need is some
bookkeeping to set the right attributes. The default math mapping commands
can be reimplmeneted using \definemappings. Before implementing this, I want
to ask the opinion of other math users.
Would the above interface take care of different use cases, or is it missing
something?
Finally, I am not too happy with the syntax. There are only a few ConTeXt
commands in which the keys take a pair of values. Another option is to allow
all
12 valid options
normal, italic, sans, sansitalic, blackboard, script,
bold, bolditlaic, boldsans, boldsansitalic, boldblackboard, boldscript
with the variants sansitalic-italicsans, boldsans-sansbold, etc. as
synonmyms.
Which way of specifying the keys do you prefer?

Re: [NTG-context] Proposal for math mappings
Dear Aditya,
I do think that your proposal would be of great help in writing mathematics.
Indeed the use of different alphabets, or range of characters with different
styles, depend on the fields of mathematics, so having a \setup command like
the one you suggest would be wonderful.
However, IMHO, the new setup command should follow the general rules of ConTeXt
commands for setting up different environments. So maybe the option of having
all the 12 forms, as you suggest,
normal, italic, sans, sansitalic, blackboard, script,
bold, bolditlaic, boldsans, boldsansitalic, boldblackboard, boldscript
would be more homogeneous with the usual style choice.
Best regards: OK

HI All Contexters out there!
I'm a Guy from sweden who will appreciate a possible solution to
following problem.
I'm interested in to do a personalized itemlist with a symbol created in
metapost.
Here is an example:
There are two small problems with your example code:
\defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]
That line should read
\definesymbol[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]
as you need a symbol, not an overlay
\startitemize[1,columns]
And this '1' should go away:
\startitemize[columns]
because a '1' there is not a level, but a symbol identifier.
Best wishes,
Taco
Thanks that worked but how to manage more vertical whitespace?

[NTG-context] customized item list symbol/graphic
HI All Contexters out there!
I'm a Guy from sweden who will appreciate a possible solution to
following problem.
I'm interested in to do a personalized itemlist with a symbol created in
metapost.
Here is an example:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{square}
draw roundedsquare(20,20,2) withrgbcolor (.625,0,0);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]
\setupitemgroup
[itemize]
[1]
[symbol=square]
\starttext
\startitemize[1,columns]
\dorecurse{10}{\item itempoint \par}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
This doesn't have any effect so my question is how do I manage this?
I did following as an alternative solution and it worked as I wanted but
If I run this example the linebreak comes in to the next column(third
item), which is not what I want. See example below!
\definedescription
[task]
[text=\uniqueMPgraphic{square}, width=broad]
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{5}{\task very long sentence i will now write to create this
weird issue \par}
\stopcolumns
How do I prevent this, or is there a better solution?
Many thanks in advance
Janneman
\startuniqueMPgraphic{square}
draw roundedsquare(20,20,2) withrgbcolor (.625,0,0);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]
\definedescription
[task]
[text=\uniqueMPgraphic{square}, width=broad]
\setupitemgroup
[itemize]
[1]
[symbol=square]
\starttext
\section {First try to change symbol}
\startitemize[1,columns]
\dorecurse{10}{\item itempoint \par}
\stopitemize
\section {Next try to define an own description}
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{5}{\task very long sentence i will now write to create this weird issue \par}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
