Umlaute etc.

Umlaute etc.

[Raimund.Kohl]

Hello there,

I am absolutely new to this ConTeXt typesetting system. So I think my
problems are boring to most of you ... anyway, they are bothering me :-(

I've found in the manual how to produce ä, ö etc ... the german Umlaute.
but I wasn't succesfull with the sharp s (ß) ... can anyone help?

Second ... I am also using gvim as an editor; is there a package
supporting ConTeXt with gvim?

Thanks in advance,

Raimund

Hello Raimund,

\enableregime[latin1] % or whatever...

will enable you to type umlauts, ß and other characters directly.

If you use \language[de] (or deo=pre-spelling reform hyphenation)
then you should be able to use "s, "z, "S, "Z.
The first produce a ß, the latter a SS or SZ.
"s means SS and "z SZ if you make capital letters.
(This is the same as \LATEX's \usepackage{german}.)

Using the correct input encoding (such as \enableregime[windows])
you can directly enter "ß".

If you for some reason don't want to use the \language[de],
you may use \SS{} (\ss has been used for sans-serif, so this
is unfortunally different to LaTeX and plain TeX.

I thought I saw it mentioned on the list, but I cannot find it in the
archive.

Ahh! Works perfectly ... just to be correct: I am using a linux machine -
is there a more appropriate command than [windows]? Or is it ok to leave
it at that?

Give \enableregime[il1] a try. Don't know where the differences
are. Have to look into the sourcecode.

Interestingly this does NOT work! I tried it several times. [il1] DOES
work. Don't ask me why. ... jut to let you know.

Gvim does syntax highlighting and will recognize your file as a TeX file
if you have highlighting turned on.

You can have two windows up, one for Gvim and one for Acroread.
Periodically in your process you can use this Gvim command:

:!texexec foo.tex

(plus whatever parameters you need)
...and then close and reopen the foo.pdf image in Acrobat Reader. This
is how I do it on a Linux system anyhow. I opened acrobat reader as a
separate process with the command 
acroread foo.tex &
...which means that it won't shut down when I close the previous
version of foo.pdf.

Patrich already answered "il1", that means "iso-latin1"; AFAIK there's 
no difference to "windows". If you like you may try "utf" (for UTF-8) 
with the latest beta.

Perhaps my german ConTeXt tutorial is of help for you. See link below.
