generalized hyphenation
by Vladimir Volovich 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi! i noticed the extension to the allowed syntax inside \hyphenation which made it possible to use arbitrary discretionaries in the \hyphenation list (using the {pre-}{post}{normal} syntax) instead of just the most common {-}{}{} discretionary. some languages need a lot of discretionaries for proper hyphenation, and allowing to specify whole-word exceptions with arbitary discretionaries is already a good step forward, but i wonder if you plan to extend the \patterns mechanism to support arbitrary discretionaries too? Best, v.

Looking at a PDF/DVI while it is being produced
by David Kastrup 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi, sometimes on a long run one would like to be able to take a look at the current state of a PDF being produced. I don't know whether there is something like a progressive PDF format: likely not. But if I could send a signal to my PDFTeX/LuaTeX process, and this would cause it (at least if it would not currently be in a \shipout) to flush the current buffers, create a copy of the current PDF/DVI file under a snapshot name, properly finish/close it (writing reference table/DVI trailers) and then resume regular work, this would be quite dandy. I often have the situation of starting a dead slow 1400 page compilation where I really need the full output, but can probably see after looking at a dozen pages whether or not the whole compilation will be rubbish, needs some minor change and restart. Being able to use a signal for "give me a viewable snapshot PDF/DVI for the current state of the document" would be rather invaluable. It would be conceivable to offer this as an option to the TeX interactive prompt, by typing >mysnap.pdf Then one could just interrupt PDFTeX using ^C as usual, and type this command for getting a snapshot. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum

BachoTeX 2008 -- Call for Papers -- reminder
by Jerzy B. Ludwichowski 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Dear friends, The BachoTeX 2008 Program Committee dares to remind you of the quickly upcoming deadline for submitting paper proposals for the BachoTeX 2008 conference. The Call for Papers and TeX Pearls can be found http://www.gust.org.pl/BachoTeX/2008/cfp1en. We trust that the main theme of the conference, ,,TeX contra TeX'' should be of a great interest to the community at large and the various developers in particular. You may have noted that the supplementing theme "Aesthetic aspects of typesetting" is also addressed to those who use other typesetting software. If you know people active in this area please talk them into presenting a paper. Your children or very young TeXies in your vicinity are invited to contribute in the yet another conference supplementing theme "What is TeX to me?" Based on suggestions and experiences from previous years, one day of the conference will be devoted solely to working meetings of the various informal interest groups (no presentations): - fonts, - TeX engines, - distributions, - supporting software, - typesetting software in general, - propagating TeX, - history of TeX -- you name it. Talk your common interest buddies into coming and/or propose a paper. Do not forget submitting your "TeX Pearls" aka "TeX beauties and oddities"! And, finally -- registration is open at http://www.gust.org.pl/BachoTeX/2008/registration-en. Please note that early registration ending March 31 allows for a significant saving in the conference fee. Come and celebrate the XVIth, or $10000_{2}$ or $100_{4}$ or $20_{8}$ or $10_{16}$ BachoTeX! Jerzy Ludwichowski Organizing Committee
