Mac input encodings

Mac input encodings

Hi all,

Prompted by this weekend's discussion of input regimes, I took a look at
the one for the Mac's Western encoding (initiated by Michel Bovani), and
hopefully revised it to be nearly complete for characters (missing four
in the range 128-255). Mac users might like to take a look at this file,
and verify that it does what I suggest.

Usage: put the attached regi-mac.tex in your path, and either rebuild
your format files (i.e., texexec --make ...), or explicitly \input this
file in your source. Add the line "\enableregime[mac]" to your source.
Type søme tèxt with «aççents» ånd öther odd characters.

Does it work?

Adam

Some symbols still can be added to this input regime definition:

character 187 (ordfeminine)  can be defined as \ordfeminine
character 188 (ordmasculine)  can be defined as \ordmasculine
character 202 (no-break space)  can be defined as \nonbreakablespace

And some definitions can be changed:

character 163 can be defined as \textsterling instead of \sterling
character 192  can be defined as \questiondown instead of ?`
   (ligature ?` doesn't always work).
character 193 can be defined as \exclamdown instead of  !`
   (ligature !` doesn't always work).
character 214 can be defined as \textdiv instead of  \mathematics\div
character 182 can be defined as \mathematics\partial instead of
    \mathematics\delta (this character is described as:
    0xB6 partialdiff 0x2202 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL
    in the Apple Computer's definition of  Mac OS Roman character set,
    see the file ROMAN.TXT in the Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE
    directory of ftp.unicode.org . Symbol 'delta' can be found in Mac Symbol
    and Mac Greek encodings).

I corrected Adam T. Lindsay's regi-mac.tex file (see the attachment).
Also I changed input characters to their codes -- it seems to be more
reliable.

I replaced the old regi-max by this one (minus the table)

>Does it work?

dunno since i didn't put it on the mac yet (working on a pc now) -)

concerning the rgime table:

\starttext

\def\showregime
   {\dosingleempty\doshowregime}

\def\doshowregime[#1]%
   {\bgroup
    \iffirstargument\enableregime[#1]\fi
    \starttabulate[|l|l|l|]
    \dostepwiserecurse{128}{255}{1}
      {\expanded
         {\scantokens
            {\NC \recurselevel
             \NC \rawcharacter\recurselevel
             \NC \noexpand\tttf
                 \noexpand\meaning
                 \rawcharacter\recurselevel \NC \NR}}}%
    \stoptabulate
    \unskip
    \egroup}

\showregime[mac]

\stoptext

I've added this macro to context (enco-run, i.e. a runtime macro)

ok, patched, \showregime[mac] now looks pretty complete

Thanks Victor, Hans...

I was conservative (and lazy) with the changes on the regi-mac. Thank
you, Victor, for filling in the gaps.

Cheers,
adam
