Hi, I think I have fixed the problems with the accent and tilde characters. The patch is attached. I found one more bug with the context opcode. When the replacement mark [] stands before the first matched character, liblouis enters a loop which is aborted only by overflowing the output buffer. The reason is in lou_translateString.c line 1751: src = endReplace; If both variables are equal, src never gets incremented. Some rules suffering from this bug are: context []$u$mpsS @6 context `[]$u$mpsS @6 The answer you gave me in the previous message: context _$mpsS[]$u$mpsS @6 also doesn't work because of the same bug, as the underscore character makes src be again equal to endReplace. So far I don't have enough knowledge about liblouis code to fix this myself without breaking anything else. regards, MB John J.
