ConvertToConteXt - convert special ConTeXt-characters (PHP)
Hello, I am just programming a catalog which should be printed. I have a lot of data, text and pictures in a MySQL-database and want to generate a nice catalog with ConTeXt. To get the data from MySQL to ConTeXt I use PHP as an Interface: MySQL -> PHP -> ConTeXt And lot's of ConTeXt-macros will make a nice layout :-) To give something back to this ConTeXt-community, I will put some helpfull PHP-functions into the wiki of contextgarden.net. Today I wrote the function "ConvertToConteXt" which converts special ConTeXt-characters. You can see it below. Before I put it into contextgarden.net ... 1. ... please test it. 2. You see three characters, where I don't know the code-number \char??? for ConTeXt. Do you know them? 3. Did I forget to convert a character?

Why is "!" special in ConTeXt? (same question applies for many other characters) With \asciimode there is probably only one character to convert: "\" (and the sequence "%%", that should be quite rare) -- Peter

This is what I use in t-vim " Change special TeX characters to escape sequences. let s:temp = escape( s:temp, '\{}') and read everything in a catcode regime that sets only \ { } to their regular meaning. Aditya
Good evening, Jannis! On 2011-11-01 17:16, Jan Heinen wrote:

The data necessary for converting HTML entities is already in Context, have a look at “char-ent.lua” if you are interested. Based on this you could write the deentitizer (== your “html_entity_decode” function?) + character handler in “pure” Context (no PHP needed) as follows: ··· deent.cld ··················································· thirddata = thirddata or { } thirddata.myfunctions = thirddata.myfunctions or { } local myfunctions = thirddata.myfunctions local entities = characters.entities local utf8byte = unicode.utf8.byte local lpegmatch = lpeg.match local P, R, S, Cs = lpeg.P, lpeg.R, lpeg.S, lpeg.Cs local fmt, stringupper = string.format, string.upper do local s_hex = [[{\char"%s}]] local s_dec = [[{\char%s}]] local replace_hex_entity = function (hexnum) return fmt(s_hex, stringupper(hexnum)) end local replace_dec_entity = function (decimal) return fmt(s_dec, decimal) end local replace_named_entity = function (name) return fmt(s_dec, utf8byte(entities[name])) end local replace_unsafe = function (char) return fmt(s_dec, utf8byte(char)) end --local backslash = P[[\]] --local escaped = backslash / "" * 1 local semicolon = P";" local ucase_letter = R"AZ" local lcase_letter = R"az" local decimal_digit = R"09" local decimal_number = decimal_digit^1 local hex_digit = decimal_digit + R"AF" + R"af" local hex_number = hex_digit^1 local entity_char = ucase_letter + lcase_letter + decimal_digit local entity_chars = entity_char^1 local entity = (P"&#x" / "") * (hex_number / replace_hex_entity) * (semicolon / "") + (P"&#" / "") * (decimal_number / replace_dec_entity) * (semicolon / "") + (P"&" / "") * (entity_chars / replace_named_entity) * (semicolon / "") local unsafe = S[[{}\$~%]] / replace_unsafe --local p_characters = Cs((escaped + unsafe + entity + 1)^0) local p_characters = Cs((unsafe + entity + 1)^0) myfunctions.convert_to_context = function (str) return lpegmatch(p_characters, str) end end --- Testing ... local someinput = [[ a º b • c ° d B e Ł f } g } h &non-well-formed; i { j } k { l \ m $ n + o - p ^ q _ r @ s ` t ~ u ! v % w « x ]] context.starttext() context(myfunctions.convert_to_context(someinput)) context.stoptext() ·································································
3. Did I forget to convert a character?
Most of the chars you substituted have no special semantics in the first place. Philipp
Before I put it into contextgarden.net ... 1. ... please test it. 2. You see three characters, where I don't know the code-number \char??? for ConTeXt. Do you know them? 3. Did I forget to convert a character?
