The module is developed by Yue Wang based on Yin Dian's zhspacing.sty macro package and Jonathan Kew's unicode-letters.tex + xetex interchartoks mechanism. It is designed for the audience who interested perfect Chinese typesetting using ConTeXt and XeTeX. It handles Chinese font loading, switching, line breaking, and punctuation compression rules quite well. Moreover, since the freetype's performance is much better than fontforge's on large cjk fonts, so the document compilation can be much faster. Users are free to visit http://code.google.com/p/ctex-kit/, and the code is in svn (the trunk/zhspacing directory) now. Last but not least, we should thank Hans and Wolfgang since they help us a lot to make the module possible :) Yue Wang ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I will make a commit tomorrow to speed up the font switching. By the way, After I finish the module, who should I turn to for submitting? Hans, the garden, or CTAN? Thanks. If Hans or the garden are the right person/place for submitting, are there some coding/documentation rules to follow? Thanks.

Thanks. Submit it to the garden. If you also want it on CTAN, you can ask Mojca or Patrick to sync the module with CTAN. Then whenever you make a change in the module, it will be automatically synced with ctan and you do not have to worry about submitting to multiple locations. > If Hans or the garden are the right person/place for submitting, are > there some coding/documentation rules to follow? Thanks. The module should be in TDS (TeX directory structure). You also need to create a tpm file (see the bib module for example). Then you can just run textools --tpmmake <your-module> which will create a zip file that you can upload.

One question before I add further suggestions: what's your relation to the author of zhspacing.sty? Your module depends on it, so in a way it would make sense to package it together on CTAN and TeX Live, but if you have no connection to the author, one needs to make sure that the right bits and pieces end up in the right place. Not too related, but: do you have any idea why this file is located under doc in TeX Live? texmf-doc/doc/chinese/lshort-chinese/src/zhspacing.sty Well, OK, it's on lshort/chinese/src/ on CTAN, but I wonder if kpathsea finds the file at all. It looks like a slightly misplaced file to me, but I may be wrong.

(In fact, some parts of zhspacing's initial idea was suggested by me. since yindian is good at tex macro programming, so he developed the whole package base on the idea all by himself) > > Not too related, but: do you have any idea why this file is located > under doc in TeX Live? > texmf-doc/doc/chinese/lshort-chinese/src/zhspacing.sty > yindian submitted the package to CTAN. but later some minor bugs were found but he was quite busy and did not have time to maintain the package. So he asked the CTAN maintainer to remove that package. But it is a useful package, so when the Chinese TeX Society plan to translate lshort into Chinese, the document translator planned to use that macro package, and that file is included in lshort-chinese package. > Well, OK, it's on lshort/chinese/src/ on CTAN, but I wonder if > kpathsea finds the file at all.

They are hosted on code.google.com/p/ctex-kit. After a major release, we will submit all the packages to CTAN. So in TeXLive 2009 you can find these packages in texmf-dist. > Mojca > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > 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://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > Yue Wang ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

After taking a closer look in zhspacing.sty I think it's better to include the code in your t-zhspacing module and to replace a lot of macros with their ConTeXT equivalent (e.g. \@for...\do.. with \processcommalist). The content from unicode-letters.tex should also be moved to a separate file (e.g. t-zhspacing-unicode.tex) which can be removed when the information is added to char-def.lua.
