Some items were moved here.

The remaining items should be moved there as well, but I didn't know what to do with them. --Mojca

Upshaped \textmu. Actually, there is an upright version of mu, but it only exists in texnansi encoding, not in ec (unf, that is the default these days). HH: So, what name do you propose?
From the [mailinglist]:


I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar macro in ConTeXt to the LaTeX \Fixme package [CTAN link].
What fixme allowed me to do that I have yet to figure out in context is make inline notes "\fxnote" or marks "\fxwarning" "\\fxerror" that would then in draft mode print either margin or footnotes where the change was needed. It was very handy when, as an editor, wanting to make quick comments in proofing. Fixme also prints an index of all the fixmes.

Perhaps we can make ConTeXt process (a subset of) OOo's XML format? I've had a quick look at this, and simple documents look quite doable.

I do not have a lot of time to spare on this. Maybe someone else could pic it up? Taco

We've played with that a few times in the past. Best is to convert the OO xml into a more structured form. A special problem is the tab stuff (which i consider to be a design flaw). Hans

Please, make the space (or the non-space, wathever is in the .tex source) between a number or a letter and these signs : ‘?’, ‘!’, ‘:’, ‘;’ and ‘»’, and after ‘«’ be an half-unbreakable space (espace fine insécable, U+202F) in french (référence [1]). Can’t have it to work with utf / xetex / luatex.

The « french » third package failed to do this.

One can use this : \setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation].
A workaround is to use the « ~ » or « nbsp » but it’s not a thin nbsp and the nbsp don’t apear in many editor. The result : « foo ; bar » is hugly, too symetric.
