-Before the advent of \LUATEX\ the implementation of proper letter -spacing in *\TEX\ proved to be extremely difficult. -For instance, the \from [soulpackage] package provides some means -but at the same time severely limits the content passed to -macros. -Nevertheless there are magnificent examples of letterspacing done -right, like the \from [leibnizausgabe] by the Leibniz-Archiv in -Hanover that has been typeset with \smallcaps{EDMAC} and \PDFTEX. -Nowadays the Lua node library removes the technical restrictions -and thus leaves the task of correct letterspacing to the user. -The \te{Letterspace} module for \CONTEXT\ was designed to collect -everything necessary to achieve this and to make it accessible -from one place. - -\chapter{Commands} - -Technically, the \te{Letterspace} module doesn’t do anything -fancy; it just maps some existing \CONTEXT\ macros into a single -setup and lets you define and configure your own derivatives of -it. -The module is supposed to be loaded the regular way: somewhere -before \type{\starttext} should be the line -\starttyping -\usemodule [letterspace] -\stoptyping -\noindentation-- That’s all. -

-\showsetup{defineletterspace} - -\chapter{Applications} - -\section{Precautions} - -\te{Letterspacing} is a dynamic property of a string of text, as -opposed to static font properties that are e.g. italics or slant. -In principle, when applying a letterspacing to text, the current -font is not merely pushed back in favor of another font. -Instead, the way of typesetting the same font is modified by -certain parameters; in the case of the \te{Letterspace} module -these are the \te{kerning} and the \te{interword space}. -Therefore it exclusively depends on the correct adjustment of said -parameters whether the letterspacing will achieve its purpose or -not. -On the other hand, external factors like harmonizing different -typefaces, the font’s design size \etc. are ruled out as possible -influences, which can be a great advantage if for example a font -happens to lack a matching italic face for emphasizing. - -Due to its flexibility and because it poses relatively small -demands on the typesetting environment, thoughtless letterspacing -may easily ruin a product. -Moderate values don’t express how important a particular emphasis -is to the author? Just \ugly{widen the spacing} and no reader -will ever skip over your message \dots. -Sure, everybody will get the cue, though the appearance of the -highlighted text, the paragraph, and possibly the whole page will -certainly be spoilt. -Granted, from this perspective letterspacing might appear to be -too dangerous a tool, only begging for misuse. -But this judgement is premature as letterspacing has in fact a -long tradition and was employed in many outstanding examples of -typography. -Apart from its seductive versatility there are no objections -against letterspacing on a general level, as long as it is -carefully utilized. - -Letterspacing has two prevailing uses: ({\it1}) for emphases and -({\it2}) for spacing capital letters, which is especially -valuable in display situations like for instance the front matter -of books or section headings. -Both come with a set of peculiarities that the typesetter must -consider in order to figure out the appropriate values for the -interword and letter spacings. - -\section{Emphasis} -Documents that require many levels of different emphases are -among the primary targets of letterspacing. -For example, in linguistics an author might wish to distinguish -({\it1}) names of cited authors, ({\it2}) ordinary text emphasis, -({\it3}) inline quoted passages, and ({\it4}) word forms or -etymological roots. -To be sure, this can be accomplished with a mapping like - {\it1}: small capitals, - {\it2}: italics, - {\it3}: quotation marks, and - {\it4}: a slanted face. -But \te{quotation marks} are hard to keep track of, if the enveloped -text exceeds a certain length; also, they disencourage skimming -because the reader always has to check whether the point that -caught his eye might belong to a quotation instead of the main -text. -In various fonts -- mainly sans serif -- \te{slant} cannot easily -be told apart from italics, thus defeating the very purpose of -emphasis, in other fonts it might not be available at all. -\te{Bold face} might seem to be an obvious alternative but even -semi bold weights cause text to stand out from the surrounding -paragraph, diverting the readers attention away from its normal -trail along successive lines. -Besides, the more a text is intermingled with different weights, -the closer it resembles the look of a dictionary.\footnote{% - \ctay{lt}, p.~122 distinguish \te{active} from \te{integrated} - markup. - Semi bold and underling belong to the former, italics and slant - to the latter. - As the effect of letter spacing heavily depends on the - environment, it may count as active when used as the only means - of emphasis. - However, in a “colorful” product with many different layers of - emphasis it might not stick out as much among the others and - thus count as integrated (cf. p.~126).% -} - -After these deliberations the validity of \te{letterspacing,} -including lower case, as a means of emphasis is already half -established. -It beats slant with respect to availability and differentiating -effect. -It is preferable over quotation marks because the emphasized -passage clearly differs from the main font style. -Finally, it triumphs over weight switching as the result is very -close to the mean overall distribution of ink within the text -body. -In the previous graduation of emphasis levels an alternative -involving letter spacing could be as follows: - {\it1}: small caps, - {\it2}: letterspaced text font, - {\it3}: italics, and - {\it4}: letterspaced italics or slants. -Here another convenient feature of letterspacing becomes -apparent: as it is basically a different method of typesetting -the same font it can theoretically be applied on any typeface and -weight. -It follows, that in the foregoing mapping, parts of longer -(italic) quotations may be emphasized as well: - \quote{% - regum timendorum in proprios greges {\uprightslash} - reges in ipsos imperium est \te{Iouis} {\uprightslash} - \te{clari} Giganteo triumpho {\uprightslash} - cuncta supercilio \te{mouentis.}% - } -However, substituting rule {\it2} for {\it3}, the resulting -mapping will be less satisfactory. -As quotations are prone to extending over multiple lines, whereas -normal emphasis rarely spans more than two words, spacing out -the former might lead to the unbalanced appearance of paragraphs. -So best avoid letterspacing in cases where the object possibly -encompasses entire sentences. - -Caution is necessary concerning \te{punctuation} adjacient to the -letterspaced passage. -In contrast to italicized or bold emphasis where an immediately -succeeding punctuation sign is best typeset in the surrounding -main face (e.g. „et {\it tu}, Brute?“), letter spacing may -require the sign to be typeset as part of the emphasis. -The reason for this consists partly in the larger interword -spacing that extends onto the surrounding spaces, and partly also -on the letterspacing itself which would be disrupted by a -tighter-spaced character. -(Bad: \te{O Tite}, tute, \te{Tati}, tibi tanta, \te{tyranne}, tulisti;
