Norwegian in ConTeXt (a delayed answer)

It really doesn't hurt if we define two languages nb and nn (such as there are multiple languages for Czech/Slovak, Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian), and "remove" no, in the sense that no can be left as a synonym to nb only. Specifically: ------------- Hans F. Nordhaug: > I think "no" should be deprecated and giving a (useful) warning/error - > telling people to switch to "nb". ------------- Karl: To sum up, we need the following language codes: nb and nn. And we need the following mappings: bokmal --> nb bokmål --> nb (if possible) nynorsk --> nn norsk --> nb (with warning) norwegian --> nb (with warning) ------------- Mojca: You also need to ask Hans how to provide a "'no' is not allowed language switch" warning or error. What are you planning to do with the "norwegian" interface? Hans: why is "Norwegian" currently not listed in mult-sys.tex? Because only languages which need something different than "ec" need to be listed there or is there some other reason? Hans, you pointed out the chineese module ... but from what I can see there, one needs to include the module explicitely and ConTeXt users are pampered too much ;) (i.e. everything should happen automatically) - is there a way to say something like this? \startlanguage[nn] \setupitemize[stopper=] \definesymbol[1][\endash] \stoplanguage ------------- Karl/Mojca/Karl: >> leftquotation=\leftguillemot, >> rightquotation=\rightguillemot, > >Are the old values wrong or just an alternative? Well, there are no very strict rules in Norwegian; you *can* use every possible quotation mark. But the guillemots are certainly the preferred ones for (outer) quotations. ------------- Karl: My suggestion is \definesymbol[1][{\symbol[dash]}] \definesymbol[2][{\symbol[star]}] \definesymbol[3][{\symbol[circle]}] \definesymbol[4][{\symbol[bullet]}] \definesymbol[5][{\symbol[triangle]}] and leave levels 6+ at their defaults. Norwegian people, feel free to comment on this. :) ------------- Mojca: so it would really make sense to enable something like \startlanguagespecifics[nb] \setupitemize[stopper=] \definesymbol[1][{\symbol[dash]}] \definesymbol[2][{\symbol[star]}] \definesymbol[3][{\symbol[circle]}] \definesymbol[4][{\symbol[bullet]}] \definesymbol[5][{\symbol[triangle]}] \stoplanguagespecifics Perhaps that exists already, but I don't know how to do it. For Slovenian and Hungarian, the same "problem" exists. Now I use \def\placedotafter#1{#1.} \setuphead[section][numbercommand=\placedotafter] although it would be more clean if one could have something similar to \startlanguagespecifics[sl] \setupheads[stopper=.] \stoplanguagespecifics in default settings once that will be implemented. ------------- Karl: \setupheadtext [\s!nb] [\v!content=Innhold] \setupheadtext [\s!nn]

luatex beta 0.35.0
by Taco Hoekwater 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi, I have just uploaded luatex 0.35.0. This is a beta in the process towards 0.40.0, the version that will be included in texlive 2009. We have two big developments underway right now: * Hartmut is working on the DVI and PDF output, aiming for full support of all direction specifiers in both modes. * Taco is working on extending the math engine, aiming for complete support of the OpenType and MathML concepts. Both developments are well under way, but neither is perfect yet. The main goal of this release is to give Hans' ConTeXt mkiv code and its users a chance to catch up and test the progress so far. What's new: * The math handling portions of LuaTeX are converted to C code, and extended to support Unicode math. There are a great many related changes, see the new Math chapter in the manual for details. * A nasty bug in the paragraph breaking routine was fixed. (All lines except the first one were believed to be wider then they really were. This affected which nodes were considered as active breakpoints) * Various changes to the PDF backend to make it support non-latin directions. * Fixed the behaviour of the page offsets. Placement of the output on the physical page should now work correctly in all directions, both in DVI and PDF. There now are \pageleftoffset and \pagetopoffset primitives. * fontforge.apply_featurefile() was broken since 0.31.0 * The lua profiler library is added. * The included lua filesystem library is now 1.4.1. * Reading of pk files fixed. * An optional space afer a <direction specifier> for \textdir c.s. is ignored from now on. * \bodydir and \pagedir can now be (re)set even after the first page has been output. * The new callback mlist_to_hlist can be used to intercept the normal conversion of math lists to horizontal lists. * The programs ttf2afm and pdftosrc are removed from the luatex distribution (these belong to pdftex). * fontforge.open() now uses much less memory when opening large (CJK) fonts. * The included libpng is now 1.2.35. * Quite a lot of smaller bugfixes and cleanups (as usual). The archives (just binaries at this time, hopefully there will be a source package later) can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ If you need the sources, please check out via anonymous svn: svn co svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.31.3 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

Packaging modules
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi, has anybody of you a nice script to create a zip for a ConTeXt with subfolder for doc, xml and tex files. I have for my letter module now 40+ files and use two different directories, one for changes with all files at one place and another one to create a zip with a tds compliant file structure and a tpm to create the zip with textools. I'm looking now for a script to work with my working dir only and a single file where I list the files which should go in the zip and in which directory they should end (e.g. doc/context/third/...). Something in ruby or better lua, which could be included in context would be nice. Wolfgang

How to ignore specific tree when extracting version from SVN?
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hello, When building the binaries for minimals I decided to use the latest SVN version of XeTeX. On the server I use: cd TRUNK && svn info | grep "Last Changed Rev:" | sed 's/^Last Changed Rev: $.*$$/\1/' && cd .. to determine version of XeTeX and whenever the version changes it triggers rebuilding the binaries. But I just figured out that since Jonathan's last commit about two months ago there have been 71 SVN commits into polyglossia (8) and xepersian (all the rest). This means that any fluent binary builder had to compile XeTeX 71 times (and SVN had to store changes) in the last two months for nothing as texmf tree doesn't influence the binaries. On the contrary, ignoring any changes in texmf tree would mean compiling it just twice or so since August. Any volunteer to send me one-liner to fix that? I'm able to write a ruby script to filter that out, but I'm sure that there must be some extremely simple one-liner (or three-liner) in bash to solve that. Thanks a lot for any hints, Mojca
