Hi all,
I want to typeset poems in a special way.
I want to achieve something like Capitalis quadrata which was used by
the Romans in stone.
See here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalis_quadrata#/media/Datei:Capitalis_Quadrata1.png
One stream of letters without spaces and interpunctation.
The input files I have to use are written as usually:
This is a line,
that is a line,
and a third line as well
I want to typeset the whole poem in the Capitalis quadrata way:
THISISALINETHATIS
ALINEANDATHIRDLIN
EASWELL
The whole poem forms one block of upper case letters.
No interword spacing.
I guess that I can make my hands dirty with lua and write a filter that skips
all interpunctation and spaces, converts the whole text to lower- or uppercase
and after this use a special font with nice upper case letters.
But I need a special hyphenation that hyphenates just were the
line ends.
Any hints how to achieve this?
An lmtx solution:
\starttext
\definestartstop
[CapitalisQuadrata]
[setups=foo]
\startsetups foo
\pushoverloadmode % needed when protection enabled
\def\obeyedline{\removepunctuation\endgraf}
\obeylines
\nospacing
\WORD
\popoverloadmode
\stopsetups
\start[CapitalisQuadrata]
This is a line,
that is a line,
and a third line as well
\stop
\stoptext
