That does make the output more consistent, but not in the way that I'm
wanting. My real code looks more like this:
\definefontfeature[default][default][tlig=yes, tquo=yes, trep=yes]
\startbuffer[test-bib]
@article{one,
author = {``Auth\v{o}r---One''},
}
@article{two,
author = {``Authǒr---Two''},
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[test-bib.buffer]
\startluacode
for key, value in
table.sortedpairs(publications.datasets.default.luadata) do
print(key, publications.prerollcmdstring(value.author))
end
\stopluacode
publications.prerollcmdstring seems to run before any of the
replacements/ligatures, so with your fix I get this as the output:
one ``Authǒr---One''
two ``Authǒr---Two''
while with my suggested fix I get:
one “Authǒr—One”
two “Authǒr—Two”
I'm using a CLD document to convert a bunch of old .bib and .tex files into
Lua tables (which I'll then convert into XML). I can't modify any of the
input files, so I'll need to somehow deal with all the LaTeX-style input.
Using publications.prerollcmdstring + characters.tex.toutf seems like the
best way to do this, but I'm open to a different solution if you have any
suggestions.
Thanks,

Hi Hans,
"characters.tex.toutf" only works if there is a backslash somewhere in
its input string. This leads to some really surprising behaviour in the
following example:
\definefontfeature[default][tlig=no, trep=no]
\startbuffer[test-bib]
@article{one,
author = {``Author---\v{O}ne''},
}
@article{two,
author = {``Author---Two''},
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[test-bib.buffer]
\starttext
\placelistofpublications[method=dataset]
\stoptext
Removing the following lines
elseif not find(str,"\\",1,true) then
return str
from the definition of "characters.tex.toutf" in "char-tex.{lmt,lua}"
fixes this issue for me.
it is more side effect of removing the (declared obsolete some years
ago) `` '' input which catched it later
i tend to remove
for k, v in next, ligaturemapping do
hash[k] = v
end
in favor of an explicit 'tquo' feature that one can enable if wanted
\definefontfeature[default][default][tlig=yes,tquo=yes,trep=yes]
\startbuffer[test-bib]
@article{one,
author = {``Author---\v{O}ne''},
}
@article{two,
author = {``Author---Two''},
}
@article{three,
author = {Author---Two},
}
@article{three,
author = {,,Author---Two''},
}
\stopbuffer
so I tested that with the above which seems to work.
