I knew I should've tested that code.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{array}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\DeclareDocumentCommand{\maketable}{mm}
{
\exp_args:Nnx \begin{tabular}{c*{\clist_length:n{#2}}c}
\clist_map_inline:nn {#2} { & \typeset_two:n {##1} }
\clist_map_inline:nn {#1}
{
\\
\typeset_one:n {##1}
\clist_map_inline:nn {#2}
{ & \typeset_both:nn {##1} {1} }
}
\end{tabular}
}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \typeset_one:n #1 { [#1] }
\cs_new_protected:Npn \typeset_two:n #1 { (#1) }
\cs_new_protected:Npn \typeset_both:nn #1#2 {#1#2}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\begin{document}
\maketable{0,1}{a,b,c}
\end{document}
works. The previous code was mostly missing \usepackage{array} for the
"*{}c" construction, and had a bunch of other bugs. To
customize that, change the definition of the three functions
\typeset_one:n, \typeset_two:n and \typeset_both:n.
Building diacritics from the base accent and the character seems a bit
tougher than I thought. Others on this thread will know how to do
that.
Cheers,
Bruno

Re: [XeTeX] Automate table creation
Here another basis on which you might be able to auto-generate your tables,
once you adopt it to your needs. Strategy: First create a command that
contains the whole table, then afterwards call that command to actually
output the table.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\begin{document}
% create tabular head:
\newcommand{\TABLE}{\begin{tabular}{}}
% add lines using a loop (you can use nested loops if need be; use
% \noexpand to protect commands that should not yet be expanded):
\foreach \n in {a,b,c}{\xappto{\TABLE}{\n & \noexpand\`\n & \noexpand\'\n &
\noexpand\"\n \noexpand\\}}
% add the tabular foot:
\xappto{\TABLE}{\noexpand\end{tabular}}
% execute the tabular:
\TABLE
\end{document}
I hope that helps,
Susan

It depends on how the font is built. First, the accent must not be
centered geometrically but optically. Moreover, you cannot just build
the characters from the base character and an accent, it was shown by
typographers centuries ago. you need at least a different accent for
lowercase and different for uppercase letters. you can see it on high
quality commercial fonts from www.stormtype.com (Czech fonts by F.
Štorm). The accented characters should preferably be drawn as glyphs.
Substitution of a combining diacritical mark + base letter to an
accented letter can be achieved by GSUB tables but I am not sure
whether such tables exist in all fonts. You can also switch the
Unicode normalization in XeTeX, it should probably work too.

Re: [XeTeX] Automate table creation
As Tobias mentions, use a package for loops. I think the code below
should work, but I don't know how to build diacritics on a letter:
isn't the point of combining marks that just putting the two
characters next to each other should do the trick? I didn't test.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\DeclareDocumentCommand{\maketable}{mm}
{
\use:x { \noexpand\begin{tabular}{*{\clist_length:n{#2}}} }
\clist_map_inline:nn {#2} { & ##1 }
\clist_map_inline:nn {#1}
{
\\
##1
\clist_map_inline:nn {#2}
{ & \build_diacritic:nn {##1} {1} }
}
\end{tabular}
}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \build_diacritic:nn #1#2 {#1#2} % dunno?

Re: [XeTeX] Automate table creation
Look for looping packages, e.g. multido and pgffor. pgffor's foreach
command seems to be quite suitable, except I haven't yet made it work
inside tabulars.

In each cell of the Table, all I need is to combine the character and
the diacritic.
So, for example, I'll have:
begin{tabular}
& ̀& ́ \\
A& À& Á \\
etc.
Here's the question: is there any way to write a TeX macro to build
this table automatically -- i.e., I feed it the list of characters and
diacritics, and it creates the Table? Basically, I'm being lazy and
not wanting to type out the entire 50x20 table.

Re: [XeTeX] selecting font variants
Don,
The following works for me using a Mac, not sure if you can access the font
glyphs this way in other systems:
-
\itshape
testing the \XeTeXglyph3\ and the \XeTeXglyph4
--
What you want is \XeTeXglyph4, present in the italic font, but apparently there
is no Unicode point for it, and that is why we use \XeTeXglyph to access it.
Alternatively, more complicated and suboptimal, you can check the fontspec
manual for this kind of solution:
{\fontspec[FakeSlant=0.2]{Charis SIL} a}
I suppose the main issue here would be to take care of the nesting so that you
can keep the Roman shape inside an italicised context. Or maybe select the font
more specifically as Charis SIL-R. But the above solution is the best, as it
makes use of a character actually within Charis Italic.
Re fonts: I think Junicode also covers the IPA range.
All the best,
Juan
