Re: [Po4a-devel]Call for a (La)TeX module

Hello, Here is the progress of the LaTeX module (attached; I plan to clean it and commit it this week-end): - derivation of the TeX module is possible (a LaTeX moduleis attached. It only contains definition of new commands) - the class file is read in order to parse "% po4a:" lines (I only support "command1 alias command2" at this time, i.e. specifying that a command should be handled the same way as another one) - file inclusion I've been able to get po4a normalizing all the files of the book with only this command: po4a-normalize -f LaTeX data/bk2/bk2.tex (only one chapter - ch05 - is ignored from the \include command, because of a bug - see below) I've done it in a quite different way than Sgml.pm because I wanted to keep the line references, and I could not remove end of lines as in Sgml. In read, I'm calling parse_file. And in parse_file, I calling again parse_file when a \include is encountered, so that files are included at the right place. parse_file is quite equivalent to Transtractor's parse (with the \include difference). If this is not the right way to include files, please stop me before this week-end. Identified bugs - a command argument can contain an empty line (chapter 5), the parse function should make sure that after the separation in paragraphs, it didn't break inside a command argument. - I'm not really happy with the way I'm dealing with spaces (or tab or newlines) between commands, or between commands and text. But it seems necessary. - I'm assuming the class file and included file will be found at the right place - some additional empty lines are added (this should not be an issue, but I would like to understand where it happens) - There's a small difference in the table of content (I need to analyze this) - Plenty other are lurking;) Missing features - a category for commands that can be separated from a paragraph when located at its beginning or its end (at this time all are separated) - more "% po4a:" stuff - the class file will need to be translated - many others The only regression test I tried after the po4a-normalization is to display both PDF superposed and switching from one to the other. Eyes are usually very sensitive to small changes (even spacing changes). At this time I only detected one small difference (in the table of content) up to the 26th page. -- Nekral
