When I don't want quotes

When I don't want quotes

[Maurí­cio]

Hi,

I need to write ''''' in a text. However, since
it's a special tag in wiki language, I really
need it to be 5 times U0027, not ””’ (U201C and 
U2018). How can I do that?

Thanks,
Maurício

\starttext
With 0-kern: '\kern0pt'\kern0pt'\kern0pt'\kern0pt'

The easy way: \dorecurse5'
\stoptext

Neither of them work. ' (Unicode 0027) is still
converted to ’ (Unicode 2018).

\starttext
\dorecurse5'{}
% or \dorecurse{5}{'{}}
\stoptext

works here. I copied the text from the pdf into a unicode editor and it  
gives 0027.

Best wishes

It doesn't work here either. What does work is:

\def\fiver{\dorecurse5{\quotesingle}}

\fiver

but, for reasons I can't understand, not in Latin Modern...

Even better:

\starttext
\defineactivecharacter  '  {\otfchar{quoteright}}

'''''
\stoptext

Tested here.

Both also didn't work. Are you using Mark IV? I'm
using regular Context (the one that comes with
Ubuntu), maybe that's the difference.

Indeed! I just tried MKII, and this is the result:

pdftotext test.pdf - | hexdump -C
00000000  31 0a 0a 57 69 74 68 20  30 2d 6b 65 72 6e 3a 20  |1..With 0-kern: |
00000010  e2 80 99 e2 80 99 e2 80  99 e2 80 99 e2 80 99 20  |............... |
00000020  54 68 65 20 65 61 73 79  20 77 61 79 3a 20 e2 80  |The easy way: ..|
00000030  99 e2 80 99 e2 80 99 e2  80 99 e2 80 99 0a 0a 0c  |................|
00000040

With MKIV you would get five 0x27.

(But for the eye it's the same.)

Indeed, I am using mkiv... But you should be able to use \char etc. to get  
the same effect.

pdftex is not working at the moment here -- see my message to the list --  
so I can't test this at the moment, but in pdftex there is

  \unicodecharacter{number}

so

  \unicodecharacter{27}

should work.

Another option is to use utf8 encoding and insert a zero-width space  
(200B) between the 0027's.

Finally: Did you try \dorecurse{5}{{'}}?

{'}{'} should break the dbl-quote just as {f}{i} breaks the fi ligature...

Best wishes
Idris

\unicodecharacter wasn't recognized. I do use uft8 
encoding, and nothing else (ever). But the problem 
is not to break the bls-quote, but avoiding ' 
transformed to ’.

Thanks for your help. I'm probably going to try 
something else, like writing this documentation on 
a web page.

Best,
Maurício

Cleaninng up my mailbox (so I'm not sure if you still need the answer) ...

Are you using pdfTeX or LuaTeX/XeTeX? In pdfTeX you need to switch the
font (or at least change the encoding to texnansi)

\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern,10pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\quotesingle} % or \char129
\stoptext

In new engines you can switch off tlig. If you need that, please ask
(but again - you need to be aware that you either need to create a new
font instance or switch off conversion into apostrophe globally).

this is the result from the trep feature; ok, i can provide a switch to 
turn it off (i might do that at some point for each feature, something 
\disablefeature[name]) but not now

two solutions:

(1) use tt (since there trep is off)

{\tt '''''}

(2) reload the bodyfont

\definefontfeature
   [default]
   [default]
   [trep=no]

\setupbodyfont[reset]

This works only for MKIV.

The OP uses MKII, and his problem is, that MKII translates the ascii
character "'" (0x27) to "’" (0xE2 0x80 0x99).

That leaves just \tt as option, really. None of the 'normal' encodings 
in mkii have a straight quote.

texnansi does:

grep quotesingle /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/enco- 
ans.tex

\definecharacter quotesingle      129

Right you are! (and that reminds me to fix the encoding tables at the
end of the new co-typography.pdf)

   \usetypescript [modern] [texnansi]
   \setupbodyfont[modern]
   \starttext
   \quotesingle \quotesingle
   \stoptext

just enable regime utf (since you enter ’ as a utf sequence)

\enableregime[utf] \starttext \strut ' ’ \stoptext
