I recently learned that Taco (I think) did a full reimplementation in
lua that would be perfect for me to do a few experiments.
Unfortunately I'm unable to to make this work e.g., produce a short TeX
file that actually uses the code. Anybody out there who could give a
helping hand?
The best would certainly be to make a short plain TeX example using the
raw file, and start to work on the bugs, maybe Taco and Hans would be
ready to help?
The node-ltp.lua file in ConTeXt has this alternative paragraph breaker in lua.
The code in there was originally written by me, but then modified quite a bit
by Hans: he adapted it for use in ConTeXt as well as improved the structure
to make better advantage of the lua programming language. As I wrote on
SX, use within ConTeXt should be simple:
\startparbuilder[basic]
This is a sample paragraph ....
\stopparbuilder
but the code is bit outdated (has bugs right now). It is connected to ConTeXt,
but mostly in the diagnostics code, not in its code functionality. Whether Hans
wants to create an agnostic version, I do not know, but it would not hurt to
ask.
the two bugs are (were) in old-school tracing which is what i never use
the par builder code is pretty compatible (although it gives on purpose
different but consistent results with hz .. the new hz code was
prototyped this way) .. i still need to find a real application for it
fyi: the code is already kind of old and evolves stepwise into a
pluggable framework (i reported on this several times in articles and
status documents)
