More in lang-ger.tex and a MetaPost problem

[Mikael Persson]

Hi,

I added som changes in lang-ger.tex some week ago. As I mentioned I
forgot one headtext in lang-ger.tex.

\setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!inhoud=Inneh\aring l]
should have one more l, that is:
\setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!inhoud=Inneh\aring ll]

I also read in lang-ger.tex that there are some \definesortkey's for the
norwegian language. I don't know why they are commented out (obsolete?).
I tried to uncomment them and make a register that contains these
additional letters (\aa,\ae,\o) but they still end up before A in the
index.

If they are correct for the norwegian language, then the swedish
counterparts should look like this:

%% SWEDISH
%
%  These three letters (in this order) are the 
%  last in the swedish alphabet (and hence should
%  come after z in the latin alphabet). 
%  I'm not sure about the syntax for
%  \definesortkey so I left some of it open ...
%
% \startlanguagespecifics[\s!sv] 
% 
%   \definesortkey {\aring}{z}{b}{\aring}
%   \definesortkey {\Aring}{z}{b}{\Aring}
%   \definesortkey {\aumlaut}{z}{c}{\aumlaut}
%   \definesortkey {\Aumlaut}{z}{c}{\Aumlaut}
%   \definesortkey {\oumlaut}{z}{d}{\oumlaut}
%   \definesortkey {\Oumlaut}{z}{d}{\Oumlaut}
%
% \stoplanguagespecifics

I also saw this with activecharacters... The swedish counterpart should
here be:

% \startencoding[texnansi]
%   \startlanguagespecifics[\s!sv]%
%     \defineactivecharacter å {\aring{}}
%     \defineactivecharacter Å {\Aring{}}
%     \defineactivecharacter ä {\aumlaut{}}
%     \defineactivecharacter Ä {\Aumlaut{}}
%     \defineactivecharacter ö {\oumlaut{}}
%     \defineactivecharacter Ö {\Oumlaut{}}
%   \stoplanguagespecifics
% \stopencoding

At last, some questions:

1) How should I do to get Å,Ä,Ö last in the index?

2) I can't make the example on page 236 of the MetaFun manual (the one
with a framed text with the Zapf (1) label). I use the following code:

 \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}
 picture p;
 numeric w, h, o;
 p:=textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ;
 w:=OverlayWidth;
 h:=OverlayHeight;
 o:=BodyFontSize;
 p:=p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p);
 draw p;
 drawoptions (widhpen pencircle scaled 1pt);
 draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h);
 draw boundingbox p;
 setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h);
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}]
\defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame,width=fit]

\def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText}
\def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText}

\def\FrameTitle#1%
  {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut#1\hss}}}

\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{}% Initiate.

Instead of the text in the label box I get the text "unknown". I type

\FrameTitle{Test}

\StartFrame
 This is just a test.
\StopFrame

For what purpose do you seek a new sort order? If for an index then
Xindy has some superior tools for accomplishing this. But how to use
Xindy in a Context run? I used the sort macro package from the TeXsis
macros. The particular file is called index.tex. There are some name
conflicts between this package and Context so I modified some names in
the macro package, e.g., index becomes indexx. Then one can embed the
commands in your pdfetex or Context file, run Context, run a couple of
programs from the Xindy suite (one to convert from makeindex format
and then Xindy itself) and rerun Context to produce the index in the
proper place. 

If Context can be made to do this with equal or greater facility then
there is no problem. But if not, Xindy was designed specifically to
handle indexes with various alphabets; indeed the tutorial deals with
accented words and the Hungarian "Ny" which is sorted as a separate
letter. All the situations you describe above are easily handled.

Thanks for your answer John! I want to be able to sort the swedish
letters, å,ä and ö. (the order is ... u,v,x,y,z,å,ä,ö). When I add words
now that begin with those letters they end up before all other letters.
Example. Adding zebra, åsna, älg and ödla gives something like

ödla
älg
åsna

Z
zebra

while I want it to be

Z
zebra

Å
åsna

Ä
älg

Ö
ödla
============

I have used xindy in LaTeX and liked it alot. Do I read your text
correct between the lines when I read that ConTeXt uses makeindex as
default but there is a way to use xindy instead to sort things? Or does
ConTeXt sort things in another way?

Context has its own indexing and sorting routines. So substituting
either makeindex or Xindy requires writing or adapting output routines
and input routines, and probably an output filter as well for Xindy. 

I have played with the simple routines found in index.tex as found in
the texsis distribution. My version is called indexx.tex and changes
the command names to avoid conflict with Context macros. 
But that does not directly address your problem. So I
will work on the three pieces in a generic sort of way, the output
routine, the filter, and the input routines (the latter are relatively
trivial.) In the process I will be borrowing from xindy.sty,
eplain.tex, texsis and so on. 

I plan to use a simple macro which looks like \idx{a string of stuff}
and outputs to a file \idx{a string of stuff}{folio}

The string of stuff will have to include the keys, the formatting
attributes for both keys and locator, and special indicators such as 
see and seealso. I like the xindy.sty convention which uses ordinary
punctuation to separate keys, sort keys, locator attributes etc. 
(I like it because it simplifies macro writing :)

The filter will have to break down the string into parts, and
translate the parts into xindy raw format.

So don't hold your breath for my work! But it all seems doable. And
there is a frequent demand for language-specific sorting and
categorization within Context. In the meantime one can perhaps use
the makeindex4 conversion program and hand-modify the results.

At some point I will have to adopt a xdy style file or write one. But
each language will require its own xdy file or subfile that specifies
the alphabet and sort order.

i have no problem with providing support for xindy some day in the future 
(properly hooked into the index mechanism) but only if there are binaries 
available for windows/linux/macos-x that work out of the box; a few weeks 
ago i tried to run xindy on my win2k and it failed. Next time i meet 
Joachim S. i'll ask him about it.

this works ok here, when corrected for the error, so it looks like your mp

Hi again, thanks for your correction Hans! I still get the same error
after reinstalling tetex and ConTeXt. The only "unknown" I can find in
the logs is a line:

(unknown) cmr10 11.95514 fshow

in mpgraph.4000

Maybe someone has a clue what is going on? I have not edited some 

I'm on a Red Hat 8.0 system with tetex-1.0.7-63 and the ConTeXt beta
from today. I have done texexec --make metafun. Should I do something
more? (I have done another document with a metapost image as background
image, and it works very well) 

I have done all files available at
http://lillpelle.hemmet.chalmers.se/~micke/contextprob/

I include the (corrected) tex file again:

============ start file ==============

 draw p;
 drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt);
 draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h);
 draw boundingbox p;
 setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h);

does

   draw btex oeps etex ;

work ?

[maybe some other tolls is not working; the problem is that mp uses a few 
dvi->mp tools and tempfiles/logs get lost in the process]

the problem with sorting is that there are a lot of things to handle :

\ecircumflex
\^{e}
\^ e
\char246
byte

I just found out (well, it took me a while) that there's a bug in texutil 
with regards to creating a separate entry in the index.

\definesortkey {\aring}{z}{b}{\aring}
\definesortkey {\Aring}{z}{b}{\aring}

this will create (patched texutil) an entry \aring, while

\definesortkey {\aring}{z}{b}{}
\definesortkey {\Aring}{z}{b}{}

this only determines the sort order.

Currently the mechanisms in texutil are obscured by some xml cleanup, tcx 
remapping (polish needs this), general cleanup, etc. Also, since there is 
an encoding issue involved, redundant info is written to the tuo file.

So, in order to sort out this mess, some coordinated effort is needed to 
clean it up.

(1) if possible only vectors with named glyphs (this prevents mixed 
encoding problems)
(2) example files
(3) a simplified texutil (currently ignores the named glyphs)
(4) other mappings, say \^{a} -> \acircumflex can be automized or shared

(i'll probably make a new mechanism and remove the old one later)

a more manual selection (by default related to a language) for choosing the 
sort vector (one per document), wih vectors no longer going in language 
specifics (is also faster)
