\startchapter[title=Still Expanding]
In the beginning of October 2013 Luigi figured out that \LUAJITTEX\ could
actually deal with \UTF\ identifiers. After we played a bit with this, a patch
was made for stock \LUATEX\ to provide the same. In the process I found out that
I needed to adapt the \SCITE\ lexer a bit and that some more characters had to
get catcode~11 (letter). In the following text screendumps from the editor will
be used instead of verbatim code. This also demonstrates how \SCITE\ deals with
syntax highlighting.
\starttexdefinition ShowExample #1
\startbaselinecorrection
\externalfigure[still-expanding-#1][scale=500]
\stopbaselinecorrection
\getbuffer
\stoptexdefinition
First we define a proper font for to deal with \CJK\ characters and a helper
macro that wraps an example using that font.
\startbuffer
\definefont
[GoodForJapanese]
[heiseiminstd-w3]
[script=kana,
language=jan]
\definestartstop
[example]
[style=GoodForJapanese]
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{1}
According to the Google translator, \example {例題} means example and \example
{数} means number. It doesn't matter much as we only use these characters as
demo. Of course one can wonder if it makes sense to define functions, variables
and keys in a script other than basic Latin, but at least it looks kind of
modern.
\startbuffer
\startluacode
local function 例題(str)
context.formatted.example("例題 1.%s: 数 %s",str,str)
context.par()
end
for i=1,3 do
例題(i)
end
\stopluacode
\stopbuffer
We only show the first three lines. Because using the formatter gives nicer
source code we operate in that subnamespace.
\ShowExample{2}
As \CONTEXT\ is already \UTF\ aware for a while you can define macros with such
characters. It was a sort of coincidence that this specific range of characters
had not yet gotten the proper catcodes, but that is something users don't need to
worry about. If your script doesn't work, we just need to initialize a few more
characters.
\startbuffer
\def\例題#1{\example{例題 2: 数 #1}\par}
\例題{2.1}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{3}
Of course this command is now also present at the \LUA\ end:
\startbuffer
\startluacode
context.startexample()
context.例題(2.2)
context.stopexample()
\stopluacode
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{4}
The \type {MKVI} parser has also been adapted to this phenomena as have the
alternative ways of defining macros. We could already do this:
\startbuffer
\starttexdefinition test #1
\startexample
例題 3: 数 #1 \par
\stopexample
\stoptexdefinition
\test{3}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{5}
But now we can also do this:
\startbuffer
\starttexdefinition 例題 #1
\startexample
例題 4: 数 #1 \par
\stopexample
\stoptexdefinition
\例題{4}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{6}
Named parameters support a wider range of characters too:
\startbuffer
\def\例題#数{\example{例題 5: 数 #数}\par}
\例題{5}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{7}
So, in the end we can have definitions like this:
\startbuffer
\starttexdefinition 例題 #数
\startexample
例題 6: 数 #数 \par
\stopexample
\stoptexdefinition
\例題{6}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{8}
Of course the optional (first) arguments still are supported but these stay
Latin.
\startbuffer
\starttexdefinition unexpanded 例題 #数
\startexample
例題 7: 数 #数 \par
\stopexample
\stoptexdefinition
\例題{7}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{9}
Finally Luigi wondered of we could use math symbols too and of course there is no
reason why not:
\startbuffer
\startluacode
function commands.∑(...)
local t = { ... }
local s = 0
for i=1,#t do
s = s + t[i]
end
context("% + t = %s",t,s)
end
\stopluacode
\ctxcommand{∑(1,3,5,7,9)}
\stopbuffer
\ShowExample{10}
The \CONTEXT\ source code will of course stay \ASCII, although some of the multi
lingual user interfaces already use characters other than that, for instance
accented characters or completely different scripts (like Persian). We just went
a step further and supported it at the \LUA\ end which in turn introduced those
characters into \MKVI.
