2 problems with "texexec --module"

2 problems with "texexec --module"

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

1.) Compilation stop like this:

[1.1] [2.1] . (./t-french.tex
language       : language specific options [default-fr] introduce a 4.0pt  skip
\wait=

With the following example:

%D \module
%D   [      file=t-french,
%D        version=2008.04.05,
%D          title=\CONTEXT\ User Module,
%D       subtitle=For French documents,
%D         author=Peter Münster,
%D           date=\currentdate,
%D      copyright={Peter Münster}]

\startlanguagespecifics[fr]
  \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\stoplanguagespecifics

Command: texexec --module --luatex t-french


2.) The option "--result" is not respected:

texexec --module --result=french-doc t-french
produces t-french.pdf but not french-doc.pdf.


Greetings, Peter

Somewhat unexpectedly, the space after [frenchpunctuation] is not 
ignored (note: I am not saying it should). Can you try this?

   \startlanguagespecifics[fr]
     \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]%
   \stoplanguagespecifics

Best wishes,
Taco

I've already tried this, but it does not work. But thanks to your remark,
I've finally found the reason: it's the space *before*
"\setcharacterspacing".

This works ok:

\startlanguagespecifics[fr]
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\stoplanguagespecifics

Cheers, Peter

Still somewhat odd.

Indeed. And I think for several reasons:
- I believed, that texexec --module does not execute commands without a
  "%D" at the beginning of the line
- usually, space in the beginning of the line is ignored
- I've found another similar case:

%D \module[file=t-test]
\appendtoks \abc \to \everystarttext

fails with:

) (./t-test.tex
! You can't use `\hskip' after \the.
\obeyedspace ->\hskip 
                      \zeropoint \hbox to \onepoint {}\hskip \zeropoint 
<inserted text> 
                 \abc  
\dodoappendtoks ...EA \@@toks \the \@@scratchtoks 
                                                  }
l.2 \appendtoks \abc \to 
                         \everystarttext


No problem without the space after "\to".

All problems in this thread are unrelated to MKII or MKIV.

Cheers, Peter

This is realted to the bug with \filename (see my post yesterday). As a 
temporary solution, add this to the top of your module (at least works in 
this case, haven't tested with the french module).

%M \unexpanded\def\filename#1{{\\tttf\hyphenatedurl{#1}}}

always messy this active :

all places where : can occur then need to be enclosed in cleanup code

The actual problem has nothing to do with \setcharacterspacing. You can
replace this line by "\setupitemize[symbol=2]" or similar.

And why "active :"? I thought, that \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
uses some lua-magic instead of active characters?

in mkiv it does indeed; only mkii has language specifics
