concerning your module, maybe we should introduce a new category of modules,
e.g. c-lettrines.tex with x meaning 'converted'; we can then collect them in
another zip;
remark 1:
\sbox is already definined and in use,
i remember someone telling me that this \hbox{{#1}} stuff is needed to satisfy
latex's color mechanism, but that's not needed in context, so a simple
\setbox\Lettrinetbox{}
is not only even more efficient in terms of tokens and performance (unnoticable)
but also does not clash with the core macro.
remark 2:
auto-lettrines (dropcaps etc) are kind of complex in the sense that it's not
trivial to pick up the first 'something' in a paragraph in a robust way [we may
want some extension to tex for that (so we have something to discuss during our

RE: [NTG-context] lettrine.sty, but not LaTeX
Taco, Great work. I did some tests of this and have a few comments: - I tested with the inital H and [Lines=4,Hang=.1,Nindent=20pt,Findent=20pt]. This makes the H itself be indented too (see enclosed dump). It seems that Findent adds space both before and after the dropcap, when it only should add after the dropcap. - The text font seems to be defaulted to small capitals. However, this is merely one of the conventions how text after a dropcap is set. Other conventions include e.g. roman or italic caps, roman or italic lower case etc. - Regarding the slope one should be able to set indentation separately for each line. This depends on the fact that some characters call for a different type of intendation of the lines - e.g. the character L. - Sometimes there is a need to indent the dropcap slightly itself, e.g. if one uses a quotation mark before the dropcap. So a parameter to control that would be great. However, bear in mind that I installed ConTeXt for the first time yesterday and have never used TeX and children before, so I may very well have done something wrong when I used the module...! :) Best regards, Mats Broberg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taco Hoekwater Sent: den 27 februari 2005 15:29 To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: Re: [NTG-context] lettrine.sty, but not LaTeX Ok, so I *should* be doing other stuff, but this is just a lot of fun, so here is the 3rd version, with three bugfixes - No more font messages (followed Hans' advice) - No more \sbox redefinition (used it's expansion instead) - The page breaks unless the lettrine actually fits (this is an independant improvement by me) This is the last version before EuroTeX.

Adam Lindsay wrote: These namespaces contain elements with different levels of abstraction. ContML is higher-level, more structural, fx (just a demonstration, so far) was a bit more low-level, somewhere between ConTeXt and FO. one of the downsides of xml is that it comes with set of 'standard solutions' that, instead of aiming at specific areas, try to cover all. This sometimes may backfire; for instance, at pragma we encounter projects where: - everyone told us fo is the ultimate solution, so let's apply fo for real typesetting i.e. replace dtp, while (1) fo provides a subset of solutions, (2) sometimes a typesettign engine needs some info in order to provide a good solution (e.g. not all tables are tables, and not all section headers are items, and consistent typesetting demands structured font handling instead of local font specs and switches) - our documents are coded in xml, so we can do everything we want, while in practice most docs are rather poorly coded, lack detail, lack detailed structure, demonstrate tag abuse, etc. you don't wanna know what we run into - the idea behind the fx approach is to stay in the xml realm while providing the full power of a typesetting engine; for instance, one xan use xslt to handle ann the numbering, but at the same time let the typesetting engine know that it is dealing with sectioning; or, one can map tabular data onto the most suitable mechanism available, or one can stick to symbolic font changes and let the engine apply the best strategy This is one of the biggest blessings and curses of XML. Having helped design an ISO standard using XML, this had an immense effect on what we did. Yes, it's a standard, but how can we be sure that people don't try to create documents with other, private elements? eh, the part is standard, element (names) are free FO isn't for everyone. In fact, some here have a rather poor opinion of it. (I tend to agree, but let's try to steer away from a flame war.) one interesting application of fo i see is 'placed xml' [all those approaches, fo included, have their pro's and con's so let's support them all and use them when applicable; However, XSL-FO is rather indisputably a page layout vocabulary, and not semantic/structured markup. If you're from the TEI world, I don't need to go further there. one thing that i notice in applying fo is that it is used in ways and for docs that would look way better when simple mapping was used, apart from the fact that it would process faster; xml - xslt - xml - intermediate tex - tex - pdf xml - xslt - xml - context - pdf is a solution for many situations : use xslt for powerfull manipulations (for which tex is not real handy) and use tex for doing the typesetting Creating these workaround vocabularies adds another layer to processing and seems to add to the complexity of processing XML. the idea is to have libraries with xml snippets (compare this to xslt: we now see libraries showing up there as well to get around the nasty bits) Depends on the source format. I use that extended ContML as an intermediate format, because I'm converting from a much more complex file format that doesn't make the document structure very transparent. That suits my needs well. that's indeed the idea It's one of the reasons why I bring things to my intermediate format that corresponds with ConTeXt macros: I can break into expert ConTeXt to configure things when I want to get sophisticated. indeed, but i admit that we need to provide demos of that approach in order to show the benefits [another benefit is that when we stay in the xml realm, we can use xml editors and such] for a starter, just play with xml - xslt - contextcode - pdf xml - xslt - xml - contextmappings - pdf xml - contextmappings - pdf first, because you get a feeling for what context does then, Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Any suggestions ?
Have you looked at pytex? It does nothing with pdftex, but I do not know
what do you want to actually do.

I have found
http://www.metatex.org
that seem to be a good starting point.
I would like to explore the possibility to embed a pyhton interpreter
into pdftex,and use it into ConTeXt ("python inside context");
another wish is some python modules to do some typesetting jobs using
ConTexT ("context inside python"); maybe swig can be help.
