Hi all,
I want to typeset poems in a special way.
I want to achieve something like Capitalis quadrata which was used by the Romans in stone.
See here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalis_quadrata#/media/Datei:Capitalis_Quad...
One stream of letters without spaces and interpunctation.
The input files I have to use are written as usually:
This is a line, that is a line, and a third line as well
I want to typeset the whole poem in the Capitalis quadrata way:
THISISALINETHATIS ALINEANDATHIRDLIN EASWELL
The whole poem forms one block of upper case letters.
No interword spacing.
I guess that I can make my hands dirty with lua and write a filter that skips all interpunctation and spaces, converts the whole text to lower- or uppercase and after this use a special font with nice upper case letters.
But I need a special hyphenation that hyphenates just were the line ends.
Any hints how to achieve this? An lmtx solution:
\starttext \definestartstop [CapitalisQuadrata] [setups=foo] \startsetups foo \pushoverloadmode % needed when protection enabled \def\obeyedline{\removepunctuation\endgraf} \obeylines \nospacing \WORD \popoverloadmode \stopsetups \start[CapitalisQuadrata] This is a line, that is a line, and a third line as well \stop \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
