How to produce a dotless i with ConTeXt?

How to produce a dotless i with ConTeXt?

[Verhaag, G.C.H.M.]

Hi,

I need to use some Turkish in language support training and want to 
typeset everything using ConTeXt (MkIV). Anybody any idea how to apply 
the Turkish alphabet (e.g. the dotless i), while the main language of 
the document is English or Dutch?

I for example tried to generate the soft g, the g with the caron 
(inverted circumflex!) above it, using \gcaron, which just works fine. 
But I'm unable to generate a dotless i!

Thanks!

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

So what did you try? Here's 3 methods that work for me:

1. (best): write the character directly into your source 
file: &#305;

2. \dotlessi (see the list of characters in char-def.lua)

3. \i (compatibility, defined in enco-ini.mkiv)

That is: simply type "ı".

The file char-def.lua has all the names for accented latin characters
(and some more).

> 3. \i (compatibility, defined in enco-ini.mkiv)

4. \char"0131 (or decimal value without the apostrophe; 0x0131 is hexadecimal).

Hi,

Thanks for the answers!

Only one suggestion doesn't work for me; inserting the &#305; (it looks 
like an HTML code not ConTeXt code!?) in my source file.

Well, I prefer to use \dotlessi and \i, and don't like &#305 or 
\char"0131, because I'm not very good at remembering number codes!

Gerard Verhaag

As Mojca already pointed out, I meant typing the character 
directly. I'm using a web mail interface which 
unfortunately  replaces the character with this strange 
entity.

LuaTeX has total unicode representation in terms of content (are unicode
characters possible for macro declarations? this is unclear at this point
but clearly useful..)

So, the last thing you need to do is abstract your special characters. Just
input them according to how you would normally make them appear in a text
field on your screen.

Yes but they need catcode 11.

\definehead[Überschrift][section]

\starttext

\section{Section}

\Überschrift{Überschrift}

\stoptext

BTW: MkIV has also a persian interface where you can write \فصل for \chapter.
