Předpoklady
We assume that the student is familiar with TeX. In the course we will use the CONTEXT macro package, and especially the MKIV version that targets at LuaTeX. More information can be found at: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-0012.pdf
http://www.luatex.org binaries and reference manual
http://contextgarden.net information about CONTEXT
http://www.lua.org/ information about the Lua language
We expect the student to know enough about Lua to use it in the course. We assume that the student has taken a look at the following document: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg.html It makes sense to buy a copy of Programming in Lua. It is well written and completely covers the language. The language is being developed in a very controlled way, as can be read in: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/doc/hopl.pdf We also expect the student to write down some ideas on pretty printing sources.

Osnova
  • There will be a series of meetings where the following topics will be covered.
  • TeX as language, the road from input to output, tokens and nodes.
  • Lua as language, what can it do and what not, why and how do we use it as embedded language.
  • LuaTeX as system, how does the two languages work together in opening up the typesetting engine.
  • CONTEXT MKIV as application, what kind of code is needed to permit the use of advanced font technologies, how to get away with some of TeX's limitations, what kind of technologies are needed to fulfil today's typesetting demands.
  • Typographic programming, what is it and how can it be applied in automated typesetting workflows.
  • In addition one of the computer rooms will be reserved so that we can practice the above and work on the products needed for the exam.

Metody hodnocení
The student has to deliver the following products:
Lua code that transfers a source into directives for TeX.
Code that integrates the code into TeX.
A basic style that presents the pretty printed source on paper and on screen, including a table of contents and index.
During the course we will provide the tools to handle the typesetting. There will be a framework for pretty printing available that students may use.
