ConTeXt already implements grid snapping in the vertical dimension. For "grid snapping" in the horizontal direction, you need to ensure that all \hskip's are multiple of the grid size. > I'm specifically interested in using this approach for report generation.

The keys `lines=..., columns=...` work almost like a grid. See the details manual for examples of grid snapping and layers.

This statement is a little unfair: the problem is exactly that your input is NOT proper XML. If it was proper XML, ConTeXt would not have problems with it. ConTeXt explicitly has the capability to handle XML files, which your input simply is not. In fact, it is sloppy HTML-esque data that modern webbrowsers happen to be able to handle more or less correctly. It is not valid HTML either, because valid HTML has to be valid SGML, which your input clearly is not. That said, Tools like xmllint exist for this stuff. Just write a small batch driver file in some scripting language ((power)shell, lua, python, perl, etc.) to preprocess the HTML stuff into clean XML, and you should be fine.

If I want to typeset the whole book (https://seumasjeltzz.github.io/LinguaeGraecaePerSeIllustrata/), I will have to download and sanitize over 20 HTML files.

Hi Massi, the problem is that they aren’t my HTML files and that this is a very common error. I’m afraid that pre-processing could work for a few files, but this solution wouldn’t work if I would like to use it with any HTML file that I could need.

Re: [NTG-context] ignore not closed tags in XML input
Can't you use an editor with grep, searching for something like the pattern
(with appropriate escapes of course).

See HTML-tidy,

it could help you pre-processing your HTML files.

[NTG-context] Achieving the style of Jean-Luc Doumont
Dear list, Years ago I stumbled upon the work of Jean-Luc Doumont. He typesets all his documents using TeX, although his modified Version called Quantum. The whole idea of his fascinating approach is that the page is quantized in 2 dimensions and that all positioning, even graphical elements stick to that grid. I'm attaching a link to a presentation by him in which he gives some fragments of code that I, unfortunately, have a hard time understanding. I'm interested in replicating this 2d grid in Context. How would one go about enforcing such strict 2d organization? As I get it he does a lot of manual tweaking, and his documents are less automated and more hand crafted than a typical Context document. I'm specifically interested in using this approach for report generation. To me data I/O is not an issue since I would use a Python script to generate the markup. I know the question is pretty general, but any pointers would be welcome. Maybe the first thing useful would be the grid and how to position everything in accordance with it. I envisioned this thread more for discussion and suggestions than a complete recreation of his ideas. As I learn Context and Metapost, I hope I will figure out how to recreate his work. Sorry for the blog post :) Link to files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KpYbDlukvSCirKkFvJICOX3wABl_83bW?usp=sharing Sincerely, Stefan ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
