Converting LaTeX to ConTeXt should be possible with pandoc, though not everything will work without manual adjustments. Denis Hans Hagen schrieb am So., 21.

Re: [NTG-context] font switching commands

Hi Wolfgang, thanks for your information.
It is a bit difficult for me to understand the difference among
\switchtobodyfont,
\vii etc. and \tfa etc. with the explanation of cont-eni.pdf precisely
and unfortunately
\vii etc. are no more available.
Thanks again.
In the example below I make a global change of the font size at the begin
with \setupbodyfont which changes the size of the running text (and also
of the header and footer texts) to 10pt.
With the \tfa and \tfx commands bigger and smaller text but the size of it
depends on the global size. The default scaling for \tfa is 1.2 and for \tfx
is 0.8, this means \tfa results in 12pt and \tfx in 8pt.
In the next line I change the global font size with the \switchtobodyfont
command to 14.4pt. The difference between \setupbodyfont and
\switchtobodyfont is that \setupodyfont changes the header and footer
while \switchtobodyfont doesn't.
Now I use again the \tfa and \tfx commands to change the font size which
use again the scaling factors mentioned above but here they use the new
global size of 14.4pt which result in 17.28pt for \tfa and 11.52pt for \tfx
(the actual size for \tfx is 12pt because ConTeXt uses fixed sizes for
a global font size of 8pt, 9pt, ..., 12pt, 14.4pt which presets for the
smaller
and larger sizes).
The \vi, \ix etc. commands you mentioned are just shortcuts for
\switchtobodyfont[6pt], \switchtobodyfont[9pt] etc. and have been removed.
begin example
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\starttext
text {\tfa text} {\tfx text}
\switchtobodyfont[14.4pt]
text {\tfa text} {\tfx text}
\stoptext
end example
Wolfgang

[NTG-context] translating LyX/LaTex book into ConTeXt (was Re: [Context] Xindy)

I'm sure there is no problem in doing English/Croatian, but wonder about Sanskrit diacritics, eg. when I typeset small snippet from the LyX source I notice things like: fonts > checking > char ṁ (U+01E41) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing backend > xmp > using file '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml' so I wonder if you have some suggestions in regard to fonts which cover those diacritics well? When using LaTeX, accents were just handled by putting e.g. dot over 'm'. Any hint how to easily enter such things in one's editor? Now, I wonder how can one "define one's own sort order" since I'd like that words containing e.g. 'ṁ' are to be sorted as 'm'? > personally i have no plans for using xindy (i looked into it real > long ago but at that time it was rather latex oriented and could not > carry enough info around which i want in context) As far as I understand Xindy is not developed any longer, so I hope ConTeXt can do everything?

Any further hint in translating LyX/LaTeX sources into ConTeXt? Sincerely, Gour -- Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one.
