[NTG-context] \startlines in mark IV

2009-03-28 Thread Maurí­cio 

Hi,

I setup this test:

%%%
\starttext
\startlines
\input test.tex
\stoplines
\stoptext
%%%

File 'test.tex' contains just a 'Hello world!'
line. This test goes okay when I use 'texexec'
from default Ubuntu package. When I use 'context'
from minimals, I get a message that ends with:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.3 \input test.tex


If I remove lines '\startlines' and \stoplines'
from the test, I get no errors.

What did I do wrong? Did '\startlines' changed in
Mark IV?

Thanks,
Maurício

What version do you use?
No problem here with context version 2009.03.27 08:00 and
LuaTeX version 0.36.0

Cheers, Peter

Such approach has a major disadvantage, one have to take care of not
altering macros and tex commands or we may end with a broken document (I
have more general use case where the to be substituted strings can
occur in macros as well), and we know that only TeX can read TeX :)

I'm thinking in lua callback that get fed with text buffers in a similar
way to OTPs, so one can use regular expressions to pre-process the text
without messing with node list, think in code that replaces 2nd with
2\high{nd} etc. which would be very complex to be done at node list
level.


If it's not so complex, have you considered overloading font features with
fea files? Now that Adobe has (finally!) completed a major overhaul of the
spec, including the features neeeded for arabic, that's an option.

But for your more complex needs, see the m-translate module. Maybe that
can be developed further? Note that Hans has pointed out that this is NOT
a core module and that it is preferable to fix the source beforehand.
