[NTG-context] ConvertToConteXt - convert special ConTeXt-characters (PHP)

Jan Heinen Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:16:36 -0700

Hello,

I am just programming a catalog which should be printed.

I have a lot of data, text and pictures in a MySQL-databaseand want to generate a nice catalog with ConTeXt.

To get the data from MySQL to ConTeXt I use PHP as an Interface:

MySQL -> PHP -> ConTeXt

And lot's of ConTeXt-macros will make a nice layout :-)

To give something back to this ConTeXt-community, I will putsome helpfull PHP-functions into the wiki of contextgarden.net.

Today I wrote the function "ConvertToConteXt" which convertsspecial ConTeXt-characters. You can see it below.



Before I put it into contextgarden.net ...
1. ... please test it.

2. You see three characters, where I don't know thecode-number \char??? for ConTeXt. Do you know them?

3. Did I forget to convert a character?

Regards
Jannis

 *      Convert special ConTeXt-characters with php
 *      Works with PHP5
 *
 *      Call it with the string you want to convert ...
 *         ConvertToConteXt ($xstring);
 *
 *      ... and you get back the converted string
 *
 *      e.g.:
 *      Input:
 *          $string = "My root-Directory: /home/hans";
 *          $string = ConvertToConteXt ( $string );
 *
 *      Output/Return:

* $string = "My root\\char45Directory\\char58\\char47home\\char47hans";

 *
 *      When you write this into a file ...

* file_put_contents ( "example.tex", "Myroot\\char45Directory\char58 \\char47home\\char47hans",FILE_APPEND );

 *
 *      ... You will find the following in example.tex:

* My root\char45Directory\char58\char47home\char47hans

 *
 *      An when you compile example.tex with ConTeXt
 *          context example.text
 *

* You can read the following in the resultingexample.pdf:

 *          My root-Directory: /home/hans
 *
