[NTG-context] Re: Bibliography cite
Thank you, Alan for the suggestion.
I tried as you said: \cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p.
3}}][Knuth1984].
Yet the result is this: Knuth (1984), , p. 3
If I leave out the first comma, the result is: Knuth (1984), p. 3
Righttext probably refers to the text outside the parentheses.
Thank you in advance,
Robert.

[NTG-context] Re: Bibliography cite
Using the APA specification:
\usebtxdefinitions
[apa]
you can then
\cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p.\nbsp 12}}] [Knuth1984]
mentions ….
The tricky part concerning righttext= is the double {{ }}, needed
because the text contains a comma. The reason for this is simple, as
righttext is a comma-separated list, where each entry corresponds to a
cited reference, as in \cite[righttext={a,b}] [ref1,ref2]
so a is associated with ref1 and b is associated with ref2.

I'd use a different font but as you want to go cheap ... attached gets
you going and will give you a few hours playing around with fonts.
Using a scaled c for some c like shape is kind of bad anyway, kind of
using a comma for an ogonek.

[NTG-context] Tracker for hyphens at the end of lines
Hi colleagues, Is there a tracker for highlighting hyphens at the end of lines similar the way underfull and overfull boxes can be displayed with a coloured bar at the end of the offending line? I have looked at the wiki page "Reviewing hyphenation" and it has a solution for mkii from 2009 which, I would think, won't be suitable for present day ConTeXt. I have tried searching for hyphens using Skim and Adobe Acrobate viewers but although they find hyphenation in line they don't recognise hyphens at the edge of lines. Any help would be appreciated.

[NTG-context] \defineactivecharacter in LMTX + composing characters
Dear gang,
It appears that \defineactivecharacter does not work in lmtx:
\starttext
\defineactivecharacter Ḥ {\d{H}}
\defineactivecharacter ḥ {\d{h}}
\defineactivecharacter Ṣ {\d{S}}
\defineactivecharacter ṣ {\d{s}}
\stoptext

Background: The following characters are essential for Arabic transliteration
(assuming your email client has the chars):
Ṯṯ Ḥḥ Ḫḫ Ḏḏ Šš Ṣṣ Ḍḍ Ṭṭ Ẓẓ Ġġ Āā Īī Ūū ʿ ʾ
But most really good fonts don't have them, so we have to compose them. Now
there are other methods, e.g,
1) \definecharacter Hbottomdot {\buildtextbottomdot H}
but cannot use it without something like \defineactivecharacter (there's no way
we're going back to the bad old days of control sequences for accented chars).
That is, we need to be able to say something like
\definecharacter Ḥ {\buildtextbottomdot H}
But this doesn't work.
The other method
2) \definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes]
doesn't appear to work either (at least not with, e.g., Minion Pro Opticals).
And even when it used to (somewhat) work (often ugly default results) it did
not support utf 02BE and 02BF (ʿ ʾ). So we still need something like
\defineactivecharacter ʿ {\high{c}}
\defineactivecharacter ʾ {\kern.07 em
\high{\rotate[rotation=180,location=high]{c}}}
or better
\definecharacter ʿ {\high{c}}
\definecharacter ʾ {\kern.07 em \high{\rotate[rotation=180,location=high]{c}}}
The upshot is that we need a general, configurable solution for this kind of
situation.
And please don't say, "Use a different font!" -)
Thank you in advance for any guidance and assistance in this matter.
Best wishes

[NTG-context] Bibliography cite
Dear List members,
For my academic work with context I need the following cite according to Apa
standards:

The matrix is this:
AUTHOR (, p.~n).
I reckon this can somehow be accomplished with the \setupbtx command.
(Standard these and other variants are possible: AUTHOR () and AUTHOR ,
p. n.)
I tried different setups: \setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryear], and
\setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryears], I played with the lefttext, righttext and
other options, but none of them give the desired result.
Thank you for any suggestions.
