Converting LaTeX to ConTeXt should be possible with pandoc, though not everything will work without manual adjustments. Denis Hans Hagen schrieb am So., 21.

Hi, fonts > checking > char ṁ (U+01E41) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing backend > xmp > using file '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml' You can extend the default feature to also add missing composed characters to the font. In mkiv we have way more control and these missign characters are then made virtual ones but in the text they are proper unicodes. \definefontfeature[default][compose=yes] \starttext char ṁ (U+01E41) \stoptext Now, I wonder how can one "define one's own sort order" since I'd like that words containing e.g. 'ṁ' are to be sorted as 'm'? in sort-lan you can find examples of how sorting works in mkiv .. you can find examples in the test suite end elsewhere about how to influence the sorting order (basically it uses a language sorting order, but the sequence of the about 6 steps involving code, case, shape, can be changed ... in your case the m is quite likely to be sorted as m because it has the 'm' shape What about generating Glossary? should be problem ... i'm pretty sure that on the list someone can tell you how he/she did it (users of critical editions) Any further hint in translating LyX/LaTeX sources into ConTeXt? i never used lyx but i assume that when there is structure it can partly be scripted Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] translating LyX/LaTex book into ConTeXt (was Re: [Context] Xindy)

I'm sure there is no problem in doing English/Croatian, but wonder about Sanskrit diacritics, eg. when I typeset small snippet from the LyX source I notice things like: fonts > checking > char ṁ (U+01E41) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing backend > xmp > using file '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml' so I wonder if you have some suggestions in regard to fonts which cover those diacritics well? When using LaTeX, accents were just handled by putting e.g. dot over 'm'. Any hint how to easily enter such things in one's editor? Now, I wonder how can one "define one's own sort order" since I'd like that words containing e.g. 'ṁ' are to be sorted as 'm'? > personally i have no plans for using xindy (i looked into it real > long ago but at that time it was rather latex oriented and could not > carry enough info around which i want in context) As far as I understand Xindy is not developed any longer, so I hope ConTeXt can do everything?

Any further hint in translating LyX/LaTeX sources into ConTeXt? Sincerely, Gour -- Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
