Hi, I’m a bit stuck
I’ve set up complex contextual alternates and managed to get pairs working, but groups of three aren’t working as expected. Also, what’s the best approach to prevent my pairs from clashing? Would it be better to use ligatures, or is there a more effective solution?
can you show you feature code?
Hi Georg, thanks for the reply.
Classes seem to be sorted with the right order and it seems to be working up to the line 5
I also tried to have all three in the group in one code but seems like I am missing something.
(sub @tan_in_on_ss02 @in_an_ss02’ Vin-georgian by @in_an_ss03; )
There are two things:
- the order of the substations is important. Usually longer context first.
- sometimes the result from one substitution is not directly available in the next line. You need to put the rule in a new lookup.
Makes sense, thank you!
Especially if you alternate between substituting before and after the context. I would, as much as possible, pull those two kinds apart in separate lookups.
That’s what I ended up doing and it seems to be working now, thank you!
