Context Chain Substitution
Posted: Fri May 22, 2020 5:09 pm
Hello
I am having trouble with Chained Context Substitution. What I want to achieve is to substitute a normal 's' for the 'long s' as used in C17 and C18 writing. So far I have managed to use ligature substitution, but the long s requires some sensitivity to context. I have set up a substitution table as an alternate and I have managed to get into the context dialogue but what I can't do, or don't know how to do, is specify the context, i.e. that when 's' is flanked by other letters, it becomes the long s. How do I specify that all (lower case) letters are included in the flanking criteria? I have read the tutorials and other posts, but I am none the wiser.
Yours in anticipation,
