Re: [NTG-context] WYSIWYM editor on top of ConTeXt / Lout
While not an editor, but rather a language, Skribilo
(http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/) can output documents in various
formats, including Context and Lout. I have worked a bit on getting
better Context output from it and last tinkered with the math output
about a year ago. Such a system might form the output engine on which
an editor could be built. The same might be said for Pandoc, in which
case perhaps one of the existing Haskell editors could be used as the
basis for a specialised text processing system. For non-technical
documents SiSU (http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/toc.html) offers various output
formats, but again it is not an editor.
While your concept is interesting, I'm an Emacs user, and unlikely to
switch to anything else.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for the suggestion. I was first thinking about incrementally
creating a custom format that evolves as features are implemented. And
for translating the custom format into a backend format, I was thinking
of creating files with translations rules for each backend so that
anyone can add support for a new backend or update an existing backend
to add more feature or to make it compatible with a newer version of the
backend, without needing to modify the editor code. A translation rule
is e.g. start_section[title=, back_ground_color=]
=> @startsection(title -> {}, bg_color -> {})
which will convert a start section command of the document format into
the same command for a backend format.
At first glance that way seems to be the easiest way for me, but
Skribilo looks interesting as a fallback option, although I find its
syntax to be weird, if I find out that the idea with translation rules
isn't working as expected.
Cheers,
Jonas

This is a blog post I recently published:
https://jonas17b.wixsite.com/monsite/home/wysiwym-editor-on-top-of-context-lout.
It is about some ideas I have for a WYSIWYM editor like LyX, but it
would be designed for using more than 1 backend (e.g. ConTeXt, Lout),
and to give a much better user experience.
I am curious if you have looked into if it is possible to add a
ConTeXt backend to LyX. AFAIU, LyX saves the document in a "Lyx
format" and then transforms it into LaTeX. It might be simplest to
write a translator from the internal lyx format to ConTeXt and Lout.
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
From what I have seen, the LyX format is a LaTeX file with a thin layer
on top of it. So basically I would need to write a LaTeX to ConTeXt/Lout
converter ;-). Looks like to me that this editor that I would like to
design cannot be implemented as an incremental improvement to LyX, as it
would be a too radical change.
In regards to the translator, I have thought about implementing rules of
translations in a text file for each supported backend. Advantage would
be that it will be easy for any user to add a new backend or extend an
existing one to cover new features or to fix incompatibility issues.
Here is +/- how could look like rules of translations, with the left
expression, something described in the document format and the right
expression, the same thing described in the backend format:
[ = , = ]{} =>
@( -> , -> ){}
At this point if we have in document:
start_section[title = Introduction, back_ground_color = green]
it will be translated to @startSection(title -> Introduction,
back_ground_color -> green)
but if it has instead to be translated to @startHeader(1, Introduction,
bgColor -> green), we will add the following in the translation file:
start_section[title = , back_ground_color = ] =>
@startHeader(1, , bgColor -> )
Idea is that it starts with very general translation rules and then it
gets more and more detailled for every cases that don't follow the more
general rules.
Cheers,
Jonas

I didn't made a definitive choice yet, but I believe that being able to use the editor offline, independantly of the user internet connection, is almost like a must have. But what sounds interesting, as a nice to have, would be an editor that can both work in a cloud workflow which enables features like instant collaborative editing, and a git-like workflow where user can work offline, then publish online, and if needed, resolve conflicts. In regards to the realtime option of overleaf, I guess that after each change of the document, it runs LaTeX to export the document to PDF. The template edition mode would do something different as first it won't be updated realtime: it is only when the user switch to the template edition mode that the template as well as the contents will rendered on screen by the editor, without doing any export to PDF.

Hi Hraban, The type of users that I would like to target, will be those writting documents of more than 10 - 12 pages. Typically students or professional that are used to write reports with Word but would be interested to use a more productive editor, but not ready to move too far away from WYSIWYG. For me, being able to work offline is almost a must have. Having an online mode could enable some interesting features, such as collaborative editing, but if the application is internet dependant and you have a problem with your internet connection, then you cannot do the very basics you would expect from a document editor. From my understanding, Atom is a modified version of Chrome that behaves like an offline editor, so that's an option that I would like to consider. Actually I am working for a web development company, I will submit the idea, as it could well be that there are other use cases, that I am not aware of, where such an editor as a web application could make sense. But still, a standalone application makes sense to me for the use cases I am considering.

User formatting must be restricted to predefined styles (also WRT images). As far as I understood, Pragma has something similar running for educational material.

Hi Jonas,
it seems that labeltext works based on \mainlanguage, such as in:
\setuplabeltext [East=east, West=west]
\setuplabeltext [en] [Name=name]
\setuplabeltext [fr] [Name=nom]
\starttext
\labeltext{East} % Works
\labeltext{West} % Works
\labeltext{Name} % Doesn't work
\mainlanguage[fr] \labeltext{Name} % Doesn't work
\stoptext
BTW, all \labeltext commands work fine in this previous sample.
Can we also make labeltexts depend on 2 parameters and write something like
\setuplabeltext[fr][male][longtitle=Monsieur]
(...)
\labeltext[fr][male]{longtitle}
?
I don’t think this is supported by labeltext.
Just in case it helps,

Yes that looks like an interesting challenge for me, but it is not something I am wanting to do alone because of my lack of experience, at least I would need someone to coach me. Actually I don't have really experience with web developpment and I would at least need help for the technological choices. Having someone that tells me that if I use technology X, there are module Y and Z that will be a good fit is a good start. Just two small remarks: 1. there are not that many modules in ConTeXt because most of the functionality is in the core. If you come from the LaTeX world, you may expect several hundred packages, each with their own idiosyncracies and documentation. That's not the case here. I wasn't thinking about ConTeXt modules here but choosing the right web framework that has the right modules. 2. As for your documentation project, let me be honest: unless someone very dedicated and very knowledgeable makes a long-term commitment and looks after these examples, they are worse than useless. Unless there is very tight control, they may contain bad and/or outdated code and lead newcomers in the wrong direction Ok, thanks for pointing a possible problem with code quality. Yes it is something we have to think about and find a solution that will ensure good code quality among the examples. Here would be my vision for the project in 3 points : 1. It's about learning ConTeXt by examples, not only learning how to make the code work as expected, but to make it work the correct way. 2. Encourage a collaborative spirit so that the community is willing to help anyone to reach point 1 (by posting examples and making suggestion or improving existing examples). 3. See below If this vision could be enough advertised to those who want to contribute with their examples, I believe a lot less control would be need, as the community will do the control itself. Concerning outdated code, as I understood, the ConTeXt core interface is stable so if we add a tag for the ConTeXt Mark (II, IV, VI) that would do it. But for examples using modules, yes that's right, interfaces could change and make the existing examples outdated. So I believe that having in the database a description of the modules interface, will mitigates the problem. And when a command in a module becomes deprecated, then the description of the module interface needs to be updated and a hint could be added to fix outdated code, like : "command> is deprecated, replace it by ". Then warnings will be added automatically on examples using outdated code with useful hints to fix it. The context way has always been to avoid boilerplate templates and let users roll their own styles. Which makes sense since in context almost every detail can be changed easily via dedicated setup commands. (This is again quite unlike LaTeX and its document classes that predefine many details.) I have problems imagining a collection of sample documents that will be more than a haphazard bunch of fortuitous designs. So if I understand well the philosophy difference between LaTeX and ConTeXt, the LaTeX philosophy would be about using document classes and avoid making much tweaks but be more focused on the content. With ConTeXt on the other hand, the philosophy is more about being able to customize everything. Actually there could be 2 categories of ConTeXt documents on the database : 1. Those that are more aimed toward making others learn ConTeXt, like tutorials 2. Those who are templates. It's very likely that the 2nd category will be more present, as I imagine that a typical contribution would be someone who spend some time with a document he has made in ConTeXt and is happy with the result and want to post it on the database in order to allow others to benefit from his work. Indeed, the third point of my vision would be to make a big collection of templates available, but my goal isn't to go against the ConTeXt philosophy. The idea would be more like if someone has a particular need, he could find a suitable template in the database, take it, analyze it, tweak it and learn more about ConTeXt in the process. Templates would be also a good advertisement for ConTeXt : before someone could be interested in ConTeXt he has to believe that ConTeXt could fit his needs and that it hopefully isn't a pain to use. If he could find a suitable template, he would be in a very short time convinced that ConTeXt can do what he needs to and that it is nice to use thanks to its clean well-though synthax. Then he will probably become a new ConTeXt user. I believe that having precise tags and allow to sort by popularity will help to structure the database so that it doesn't become haphazard and also the higher quality works will have more visib

FYI, Pragma is not that large a company so we cannot allocate more resources than we do now (and did the last couple of decades). We just provide the manuals we write in the process and happily leave the rest to others. (...) Not all old manuals will be updates. There are already a lot in the distribution and another 6 on my disk waiting for an mkiv update. These are often covering a specific aspect. I happily leave writing additional manuals to others. Good approach, I believe. It is always better to have a community that participate to the work instead of doing all the work. Each year at the context meeting this topic pops op and there are many plans but a lack of time interferes. Btw, Alan is writing a larger story for beginners. Having a good tutorial for beginners will be a good advertisement for ConTeXt, I guess. The interface is actually rather stable otherwise we could not use it ourselves. However the move to luatex made it possible to kick out code related to input and font encoding as well as update to new technologies so there have been changes. So, the trick is to point new users to the right examples and documentation. The letter generator was located there in my system : /usr/share/texmf/doc/context/base/examplap/gui/letter.pdf. You have written previously that the examplap code and examples where mkii. In this case, if this would be located there /usr/share/texmf/doc/context/base/mkii/examplap/gui/letter.pdf instead, in a mkii folder, I would have known at first glance that it is outdated documentation. So a quick first improvement could be to put mkii related documentation in a mkii folder.

Concerning old manuals: they often refer to mkii but with mkiv we have different (often better) solutions. The examplap code and examples are mkii and also relate to pdf trickery and as pdf evolved it became more clear what was bound to acrobat i.e. not picked up (ignored) by open source alternatives and therefore less relevant. Ok, I didn't know that about the pdf format. Thanks for the information. An important source are the setup-*.pdf files as these describe the interface which is described in the interface definition files (in xml format). These have recently be updated by Wolfgang and are very accurate. Yes, that was one of the thinks I was looking for, thanks ! You mentioned that keys (functionality) that disappears should be somehow documented but normally no functionality disappears. What happened was that mkiv has some more (because it's possible) and less (because it was no longer needed) than mkii and has been made more consistent.

But it is also true that I tried to make the moderncv interface work from the letter module but its interface is now gone.

Well, the basic answer is, go ahead and implement it. I won't go ahead and implement it if I am the only one who would think it is a good idea. That's why I asked for some feedback. It happens sometimes that I could have an idea that looks great in my eyes, but then seems a little less shiny after hearing some feedback. But since I wasn't the first person to suggest such a thing, It seems to me that my idea goes in the right direction, isn't it ? It doesn't mean that no improvement is needed, and it still need to be implemented. Most probably no one else will volunteer to do it and especially the people from PRAGMA surely have better things to do. They merely develop and use ConTeXt (...) Here I don't agree. People from PRAGMA are probably better at developping ConTeXt than starting in parallel a new project like that, but it doesn't mean that this idea is necessarly not worth considering. I wasn't either suggesting that they should be the people who start implementing the idea. (...) and were so kind as to provide us a huge bunch of documentation already (http://pragma-ade.nl/document-1.htm). Yes I just saw that you are right about the documentation, they have already made a huge work on that. I was maybe too quick about my conclusion, I am sorry if I did offend those who have already make all that work. I was actually doing a cover letter in ConTeXt and since I wasn't able to find uptodate informations about some of the commands I was a little frustrated. But yes the letter module is third party and I just saw in the wiki that it is said to be still in developpment, so interface changes are to be expected and not necessarly all documented. Since I am new to ConTeXt, my views on ConTeXt documentation got biased. But now I am pretty happy with the results I have with my document, so most of the troubles are behind, I guess :-). On the other hand, some of the documentation still need to be updated. Since ConTeXt is quick to evolue, having uptodate documentation would be a huge task and I also understand that it may not be the most interesting part for developpers ;-). My proposition was about to mitigate that problem with making accessible examples with some advanced search to quickly find relevant results. Maybe someday ConTeXt will be more mature and have a more stable interface, then it would be easier to have uptodate documentation.

[NTG-context] Ideas for improving documentation of ConTeXt
Hello everyone, I am new to new to ConTeXt and I was thinking about how to improve documentation to help users and then make ConTeXt more appealing. Because, if there is one weak point in my eyes with ConTeXt, it is the lack of documentation, which is too bad because ConTeXt seems to be really great. And google search is also a little tricky, since context is a common name. On the other hand, most of the help I found was on the wiki, the mailing list, TeX Stack Exchange and some pdf documentations. Sometimes, I also faced the problem about the documentation being outdated and when I am trying to find the solution on the internet, I may have a hard time finding solutions that aren't outdated too. The worse is maybe when a command option isn't working anymore with not even a warning. The basic idea I have is a database of ConTeXt documents, where everyone can add his own documents. We have also to make it easy to find there insightful examples in ConTeXt that will help someone to achieve what he is trying to do. Then users, especially beginners, will less likely be stuck at one point and looking for hours for a solution and less help will be asked on the mailing list too. Here are the basic concepts about the database : - When someone adds a document, he can specify the type of the document like e.g. report, letter, CV, book, etc. Subcategories could be a good idea too, e.g. letters can have a subcategory called cover letters. Some extra tags could also be useful, like e.g.: math, luatex, tables, positioning, etc when there is some use of the preceding, maybe not necessarily essential when the use is only basic. - If some extra fonts or modules are needed to be installed in order to make the example fully work, this could also be specified. - Search could be done by specifying one or more categories and tags. It will also be possible to search all the occurrences in the database of a command with optionally a command parameter. - It will be like a wiki so that everyone could improve the existing examples. - It can be also useful to allow comments, because it is possible that an example is close to what someone is trying to do, in which case he will look on the comments hoping that there was already someone who asked there the question and got answered. - In order to mitigate the problem with deprecation stuffs after some language changes, we could have all the commands and their options listed somewhere in the database, then when a command or command parameter is getting deprecated, it will be possible to mark it as so and provide some hints on how to fix it. After that, all the examples that use the deprecated stuffs will get a warning and hints will be showed about how to fix them. And since that examples are editable by anyone, there won't be hopefully very much of outdated documents. Here some are possible scenarios about searching in the database : - Someone is writing a letter and is trying to move one element (e.g. date, his address, receiver address) in another location without any success so far. Then he will go to this database, choose letter as category and positioning as extra tag and launch the search. Maybe he will get about 20 results, then chances are that some of the found examples will be doing something close enough to what he's trying to do, so that he could analyse the source and understand what he needs to do in his case. - Someone is looking about how to set the background color of a framed box. Then he will search occurrences of the uses of the \framed command which have color in their arguments. Then by looking at the found examples, he will find out that the color is set with the backgroundcolor argument and that the background argument need to be set to "color" too. What do you think about the idea ? I believe this could be a good complement to the existing ressources.

I have compared the list of the installed files of an old version of the
ubuntu context-modules package
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/precise/all/context-modules/filelist)
with a recent one
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/xenial/all/context-modules/filelist) and
it seems to me that the moderncv interface was removed in ConTeXt some
time ago. Is it really the case ?
Best regards,
Jonas Baggett
