Hi
I worked a little about a latex generator for factor doc. You can
find all information on the enclosed mail I posted a few month ago.
I will be interested If you have feedback.

Hi
From time to time there is a question on the mailing list about a
paper doc for latex.
As exercise to discover streams, I made a first attempt to write a
latex output for doc. It's a modified version of help.html vocab.
You can found it in the latex directory on
git://github.com/Bigot/work-bgt.git
Useful words are in latex.help :
- cookbook>latex ( -- ) to generate a cookbook tex file
- word-help>latex ( word -- )
- vocab>latex
I also tried a generate-latex-doc word but my factor gets very slow
after having generated 17500 files. My idea was to use \input
{subfile} in a main latex document to concat needed pages.
I still have several difficulties
- I don't know how to handle stream-nl in order to avoid unwanted
line break after commands
- in each help page there are two "title-style" elements, a block
included in a span. I have no nice solution to keep only one, I
decided to add a $tex-plain-span symbol in stylesheet.
- I don't know the best way to add color to factor code.
- Is it better to use LGRIND package ? is anyone already used it ?
- or is it better to write a factor word to parse code ?
For the next step I will add refs in order to build an index and
allow hypertext navigation in pdf file.
I rarely use latex so I'm interested by any feedback and advice.
I hope it will be useful.

Does Factor offer any support for LaTeX? I'm working on building a
slide-rule and want to use Factor to generate the LaTeX code for
the images
to be printed out as a pdf. I have my own idea for the design, so I
can't
use any of the pdf files available by people who've already built
slide-rules. This shouldn't be too complicated to write. If Factor
already
has LaTeX support though, I would rather use it as a jumping off point
rather than reinvent the wheel.
AutoCad and AutoLisp would probably be a better choice than LaTeX and
Factor, but I already know LaTeX --- and LaTeX is free.
BTW, I'm still working on that voting software. Most of what I'm
doing now
is reading about the theory. The software is fairly simple, so I
haven't had
to ask any questions in regard to Factor.
