Apparently I never had embedded images since I changed that code… Hraban ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___

I would be willing to pay for your time or for the time of a colleague you could direct me to. I am seeking to have typeset a book. The MSWord files have already been professionally proof-read, and the subject matter is political economy from the 18th century and how this translates to and may contradict conventional wisdom within the field of modern economics. Other typesetters I have contacted have suggested running pandoc to create a LaTeX file and use Tikz for the diagrams. But I have spent 3 days reading on advancements in the ConText side of the industry which I suspect is far more advanced. I would prefer to use better tools as a longer term solution. Can you advise me? Hi David, I would take your order, but you can also try it yourself with my tools: https://codeberg.org/fiee/context-tools/src/branch/master/docx2ctx Pandoc can also generate ConTeXt code; try which you like better. I'd never go that route when, as mentioned, a high quality document is needed which can involve control (for which one can e.g. use instances for specific components). Coding in TeX speak is not that bad. Also, one is more likely to get answers for specific problems on the list. I don’t suggest using DOC(X) to directly create PDF via Pandoc and ConTeXt, just converting DOC(X) to ConTeXt for further processing. The direct approach works only with simple and/or very consistently styled documents. For my youth novel, I’m writing in LibreOffice, convert ODS to DOCX, convert that to ConTeXt with my script and finalize the code with an additional script, so that it doesn’t need further tweaking. This works only because I control the source and the converter. My script is not trying to keep the layout, just the structure and some formatting. It can extract embedded images (again, since I fixed the bug) and creates an \externalfigure, but that usually isn’t enough. Similar situation with embedded tables (the conversion is not good, I’ll probably enhance it a bit as soon as I need it).

[NTG-context] Re: creating a printed book
Hi Hans, Are you suggesting that both of Hraban's options you would not go for, or just the latter (pandoc)? What would you recommend to take a MSWord file and produce a ConText document? Should I be thinking of doing all the ConText markups manually?

You could do an initial conversions "a la Rhaban" but from then on work in "tex lingua". Once you are accustomed to it, it's not that hard. I admit that I never had to work in Word or something other than TeX (before that ascii with simple markup a bit like markdown but that was ages ago before there was markdown so i wrote a parser and made sure all was formatted well for a daisy wheel line printer and/or laser printer). Maybe just look around abit on the documentation (source) tree to see how larger documents look in tex code.

[NTG-context] GB7714-2015 of author-year format
sorry,corrected the title .I am trying to implement bibliography management in GB/T 7714-2015 (Chinese bibliography style standard), of Author-Year format. The bib list should be sorted by language, author, year, and then the title of the book. The sorting algorithm should use PinYin of Chinese characters to compare the order. I am wondering is this feature already implemented for LuaMetatex? Or if not, any suggestions on how can I implemented this? Like1. How to implement the sorting algorithm?2. Which part of the source code can I rewrite to implement this feature?Thank you all for your time!Best,zhongtian wang Shijiazhuang YouWen Information Technology Co.,Ltd,China13311202589 wang...@189.cn -- 原始邮件 --发件人：wangzhongtian "wang...@189.cn"时 间：2024/10/12 15:03:51 周六收件人：mailing list for ConTeXt users "ntg-context@ntg.nl"抄送人：主 题：[NTG-context] Re: Artifact in flow cell connectionI am trying to implement bibliography management in GB/T 7714-2015 (Chinese bibliography style standard), of Author-Year format.
