Dear list,
as I have asked in a previous message to the list, I wanted to be able
to hyphenate \ConTeXt.
Aditya kindly suggested the use of \discretionary, but this has an
unintended collateral effect: kerning is disabled in the word.
I can specify kerning with \discretionary, such as in:
\def\ConTeXt{Con\discretionary{-}{}{\kern-.06em}\TeX{}t}
But this also has another consequence: this works right for Pagella
regular, but this is wrong with the italic font or in small caps (also
with the bold or bold italic fonts, but I don’t use them).
\hyphenation would be the way to solve this, but I don’t know how to
make it work:
\def\ConTeXt{Con\TeX{}t}
\hyphenation{Con-\TeX}
\starttext
\hsize\zeropoint
\ConTeXt
ConTeXt
\stoptext
Even in the case it could work, I would like to know how I could define
commands (\ConTeXt or \TeX) only referred to individual fonts.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

just use \def\ConTeXt{Con\-TeXt} then or \def\ConTeXt{Con\-text} or
whatever you like ... we're not that picky about it.

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
Sorry, only one more question on this topic: isn’t it possible to define
something such as the following pseudocode?
if emphasis (or italics):
(\ConTeXt}{definition}
elif smallcaps:
(\ConTeXt}{definition}
else:
(\ConTeXt}{definition}
Well, I guess Ι‘m that picky about it :-).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

You can use the \fontalternative command to check for the current alternative (upright, italic, bold etc.) of the font.
\def\Test
{\processaction
[\fontalternative]
[ tf=>Upright,
it=>Italic,
sl=>Slanted,
bf=>Bold,
bi=>Bolditalic,
bs=>Boldslanted,
unknown=>Unknown fontalternative]}
\starttext
“\Test” {\it “\Test”} {\bs “\Test”} {\sc “\Test”}
\stoptext

Many thanks for the solution and your excellent explanation, Wolfgang.
This was exactly what I needed.
Many thanks again,
