Hello list
Some years ago, when plain TeX was still pure ASCII, I had to set an
article on Luwian hieroglyphs, which involved a large number of very
small scans that appeared in running text without disturbing the
interlinear spacing. If I wanted to do the same in ConTexT, what would
be the preferred method (both in the preamble and in the text itself)?
Native support for Unicode in plain TeX is possible since more than 2
decades with the introduction of XeTeX.
Ideally I would want the label option to work for the benefit of any
visually impaired readers accessing the PDF. The following MWE doesn't
seem to work (which means no more than that I am still regrettably
ignorant of ConTexT's capabilities with artwork):
1. Context doesn't load images present in the TeX tree unless you tel it
to do so.
2. The cow sample figure is provided as a pdf file while you try to load
an jpeg image.
Be aware the keys for additional texts of figures have ben changed to
descriptiontext and alternativetext.
\starttext
The small cow \externalfigure[cow.jpg]
[width=0.5em,height=2ex,label={This is a small cow.}] was attacked by
the quick brown fox that jumped over the lazy dog's back.\stoptext
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]
\starttext
Cow: \externalfigure[cow][height=2ex].
Cow: \offset[y=sd]\externalfigure[cow][height=lh].
\stoptext
