Is it possible to refer in fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature to the word
boundary? The luatex manual speaks of a virtual "left_boundary"
char, but I couldn't find a way to use it.
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "ltest",
type = "ligature",
data = {
['1'] = { "a", "b" },
['2'] = { "d", "a" },
}
}
\stopluacode
%how to replace only the start a????
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "wtest",
type = "ligature",
data = {
['1'] = { "left_boundary", "a" },
}
}
\stopluacode
\definefontfeature[wtest][wtest=yes]
\definefontfeature[ltest][ltest=yes]
\starttext
\definedfont[file:dejavu-serif.ttf*default]%
{\addff{ltest} ababa\par}
{\addff{wtest} ababa\par}
\stoptext

There isn't something like left boundary. I added some test code to the beta but keep in mind that this will only work with self-made features. (I have to check performance impact because I don't like making contextual lookups measurable slower due to some hardly used feature. First test show that it behaves ok.) In the test code below 0xFFFC is the boundary (this 0xFFFC check is the new thing). I adapted a few more things in the loader so best check that out too. I'll upload a beta.

It seems to work quite good and after some playing around I also got the knack of the syntax. A few questions: 1. "lookups = { 1 }," refers to the first lookup. Is it possible to name the lookups and to refer to this name?. 2. 0xFFFC refers more or less to the begin and end of line, right? Why doesn't it interfere with hyphenations? I tried to get ab- ab and the second wasn't replaced (as wanted) and I wondered how it worked. 3. Why is in the following example "abcd" not replaced by "12"? \startluacode fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "test-a", type = "chainsubstitution", lookups = { { type = "ligature", data = { ['1'] = { "a", "b" }, ['2'] = { "c", "d" }, }, }, }, data = { rules = { { before = { { " ", 0xFFFC } }, current = { { "a" }, { "b" } }, lookups = { 1 }, }, { current = { { "c" }, { "d" } }, after = { { 0xFFFC, " " } }, lookups = { 1 }, }, }, }, } \stopluacode \definefontfeature[test-a][test-a=yes] \startbuffer xxx abcd abxcd xxx \stopbuffer \starttext \typebuffer \definedfont[file:dejavu-serif.ttf*default] \getbuffer \blank \definedfont[file:dejavu-serif.ttf*default,test-a] \getbuffer \blank \stoptext -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
