Typesetting without interpunctation and interword space

Typesetting without interpunctation and interword space

Hi all,

I want to typeset poems in a special way.

I want to achieve something like Capitalis quadrata which was used by
the Romans in stone.

See here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalis_quadrata#/media/Datei:Capitalis_Quadrata1.png

One stream of letters without spaces and interpunctation.

The input files I have to use are written as usually:

This is a line,
that is a line,
and a third line as well

I want to typeset the whole poem in the Capitalis quadrata way:

THISISALINETHATIS
ALINEANDATHIRDLIN
EASWELL

The whole poem forms one block of upper case letters.

No interword spacing.

I guess that I can make my hands dirty with lua and write a filter that skips
all interpunctation and spaces, converts the whole text to lower- or uppercase
and after this use a special font with nice upper case letters.

But I need a special hyphenation that hyphenates just were the
line ends.

Any hints how to achieve this?

juh

An lmtx solution:

\starttext

\definestartstop
   [CapitalisQuadrata]
   [setups=foo]

\startsetups foo
     \pushoverloadmode % needed when protection enabled
         \def\obeyedline{\removepunctuation\endgraf}
         \obeylines
         \nospacing
         \WORD
     \popoverloadmode
\stopsetups

\start[CapitalisQuadrata]
     This is a line,
     that is a line,
     and a third line as well
\stop

\stoptext
