I’d like to change some input to modify used font but only in parts of it, for
example to implement having first line with different font. So basically if I
have text with macros etc…:
\WORD{i}eu \Note[]{}{Ebrieux \LeftDot 11.a.}crea au commencement le ciel et la
terre. Et la terre
estoit \Note[]{*}{{\Hebreu\Tav\He\Vav} c'est a dire/ vaine/ qui ne proffite et
ne sert a rien.}indisposee et \Note[]{*}{{\Hebreu\Bet\He\Vav} non remplie &
ornee/ de plantes et d'animaux.}vuyde/ et les tenebres estoient sus les
abysmes/ et \Note[]{*}{Selon les Ebrieux/ ou esperit: car
{\Hebreu\Dalet\Vav\Het} signifie vent & esperit.}le vent \Note[]{*}{ou/
vehement car {\Hebreu\Alef\Lamed\Resh\He\Yod\Memfinal} se prent aucunesfois
pour hault/ excellent/ & puissant.}de Dieu se demenoit par dessus les eaues.
I’d like to typeset the beginning of that using a different font BigFont (but
letting lua code to determine the position of closing brace). Ie :
{\BigFont \WORD{i}eu \Note[]{}{Ebrieux \LeftDot 11.a.}crea au commencement le
ciel et la terre.} Et la terre
estoit \Note[]{*}{{\Hebreu\Tav\He\Vav} c'est a dire/ vaine/ qui ne proffite et
ne sert a rien.}indisposee et \Note[]{*}{{\Hebreu\Bet\He\Vav} non remplie &
ornee/ de plantes et d'animaux.}vuyde/ et les tenebres estoient sus les
abysmes/ et \Note[]{*}{Selon les Ebrieux/ ou esperit: car
{\Hebreu\Dalet\Vav\Het} signifie vent & esperit.}le vent \Note[]{*}{ou/
vehement car {\Hebreu\Alef\Lamed\Resh\He\Yod\Memfinal} se prent aucunesfois
pour hault/ excellent/ & puissant.}de Dieu se demenoit par dessus les eaues.
To do this I’d need to extract the macros etc… « Worst » case scenario I’ll
write a simple adhoc lpeg grammar to parse input, but was wondering if such
grammar existed already in context lua code, or elsewhere.
Thanks

you can pick up stuff from the input so in principle you can start your
input with a token scanner, but then you not only end up with lots of
'tokens' but also need to interpret them ... and that is actually what
tex is quite effecient in and good at, so the question is: what do you
want to achieve ... there might be better ways
