Did dotless i disappear ?

Did dotless i disappear ?

[Otared Kavian via ntg-context]

Hi Hans,

I just noticed that the dotless i « \i » is not anymore recognized in ConTeXt. Of course one can nowadays find other ways to have it typeset, but in old documents which are included as inputs one has to correct this manually (for instance in French « connaître » was typed as « conn\^{\i}tre »).

Here is an example.

\starttext
Bío Bío (works fine…)

B\'{\i}o B\'{\i}o % this gives an error

\stoptext

Hi Otared

I think what doesn’t work is the dotless i as combining character for i
+ diacritical mark.

It seems that standard i may combine fine:

  \setupinteractionscreen[option=max]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
  %\i
  %\'{\i}
  %\^{\i}
  \'{i}
  \^{i}
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

And \i outputs a dotless i.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

conna\withcircumflex{\dotlessi}tre

connaître

B\withacute{\dotlessi}o

Bío

\stoptext

I'll add checking for the \i too. It's all part of a parser. Think

\chr {e acute}
\chr {i circumflex}
\^{i} \^i \^{\i}
\^{a} \"{a}
\withcircumflex{a}
\withdiaeresis{a}

a bit messy code due to reuse of all kin dof mechanisms.

Hi Pablo, Hans, Wolfgang,

Indeed, thanks to you I see that in ConTeXt there exist plenty of solutions for the problem I reported. That’s really impressive !

Best regards : Otared
