preprocessor (writen in C) that translates Vietnamese text +written according to a specific set of rules into TeX's. (See below +for those rules.) VNTeX takes an ".vnt" file and creates a +corresponding ".tex" file. It also generates a TeX macro file called +VNTEX-MACRO.tex. Afterward, TeX or LaTeX (your choice) must be +invoked to produce the ".dvi" file. + + +USAGE +----- +To make VNTeX, type in the current directory + + % make + +Assuming the input file is "lang-toi.vnt", type + + % VNTeX -12 lang-toi.vnt # for 12 point size + % VNTeX -11 lang-toi.vnt # for 11 point size + % VNTeX lang-toi.vnt # default -- 10 point size + +A corresponding .tex file is created which must be run through +LaTeX/TeX to create the .dvi file. + + % latex lang-toi.tex + % tex lang-toi.tex + +The .dvi file can then be sent to the laser printer using the local +command at your site. + +VNTeX has only been tested under TeX version 2.98 and LaTeX version +2.09 on Sun3 and Sun4 workstations and Sequent Balance running 4.2 BSD +Unix. One person mentions to me that he receives a "memory capacity +exceeded" message while running LaTeX on the .tex file which is +produced by VNTeX. I think this is a problem of LaTeX, especially in +early releases of LaTeX, not VNTeX's. In this case, asking the system +administrator to re-make LaTeX with a larger memory would solve the +problem. A better solution would be to upgrade TeX and LaTeX. + + +RULES: +------ +The rules for writing Vietnamese are as follows: + + 1. dd, DD ===> as in ddinh (nail), dda'nh (fight). + + 2. oo, OO ===> as in coom (rice), soon (paint). + + 3. uu, UU ===> as in thuu (letter), dduua (deliver). + + 4. ( ===> as in dda('t tie^`n (expensive), ra('n (snake). + + 5. Letters are written from left to right, followed by marks above + the letter (if any) and then the period (da^'u na(.ng) below the + letter (if any). For examples, + + Chie^`u chie^`u ra dduu'ng ngo~ sau, + Tro^ng ve^` que^ Me., ruo^.t ddau chi'n chie^`u. + + Vuu`a ba(`ng ha.t ddo^~, a(n gio^~ ca? la`ng. + + + 6. Vietnamese and English can be mixed freely. However, if any word + contains the letters defined in rules 1, 2 or 3 (dd, DD, uu, UU, + oo, OO), they should be escaped, e.g., + + should be written + Nha` ha`ng Bamboo Garden =================> Nha` ha`ng Bamb\oo Garden + + + 7. To distinguish the end-sentence character 'period' or 'question' + from the diacritical mark da^'u na(.ng or da^'u ho?i, respectively, + you must ESCAPE the mark by preceeding it with a backslash '\'. + + Mie^'ng khi ddo'i ba(`ng go'i khi no\. # '.' escaped + + Ye^u ne^n to^'t, ghe't ne^n xa^'u. # '.' not escaped because + # xa^'u already has da^'u sa('c + + +TYPING +------ +When you first start typing Vietnamese according to the rules above, +the diacritical marks would bother you somewhat, especially the marks +^, ` and ~. However, your speed will pick up eventually. For me, +after almost 4 years, I can type Vietnamese as fast as I can type +English. :-) Well, not exactly. The trick is that I am using emacs +editor which allows me to bind special control keys to vowels with ^. +Thus, I never have to reach SHIFT-6. For instances, in emacs: + + CTRL-C a --> a^ + CTRL-C A --> A^ + CTRL-C e --> e^ + CTRL-C o --> o^ + +If you are interested, I will mail you a copy of my emacs file +"VNTeX-mode.el". + + +FONTS +----- +Personally, I think the slanted font at 11 point looks best. However, +in larger fonts (14pt or bigger) you need to physically draw the mark +'?' yourself for the letters uu, UU, oo, and OO. I think this is +acceptable because we don't deal with larger fonts often. + + +CAVEATS +------- +VNTeX is by any means complete. We just wanted something acceptable +without having to spend a lot of time to develop it. I would be more +than willing to assist anyone on a different approach, be it METAfont +or whatever. I have some ideas on how to enhance the program (more +vigorous checking, better font selection when switching to larger +fonts, etc.), but I cannot squeeze more time into it. Please feel +free to distribute VNTeX to anyone interested, provided that you leave +the message at the beginning of the program. Also please keep me +informed if you make any modification. My e-mail address is +nguyen@ics.uci.edu. + +In case you accidentally delete the original .vnt file but still have +the corresponding .tex file, I also include in this package a program +called tex2vnt which would reverse the translating process. That is, +tex2vnt takes the .tex file generated by VNTeX and produces the +corresponding .vnt file. To generate this program, type % make tex2vnt. + +For those of you who don't know what TeX is, let me describe it VERY +briefly. TeX is "a sophisticated document preparation system of Donal +Knuth to produce high-quality typesetting, especially for mathematical +text." It is like WordStar, WordPerfect, or MicrosoftWord for IBM PCs +or MacWrite for Macs. Similarly, LaTeX consists of a high level set +of TeX macros which would make it easier for users to learn and use +TeX. If your system does not have TeX, you are out of luck, i.e., you +cannot run VNTeX! However, if you have troff, you can request from +Nha^n at Florida a different package (written in C) for typesetting +Vietnamese. He posted it a while ago on VietNet. This package is a +re-implementation of a Pascal package written by another VietNet member +whose name I forgot. (Please forgive me! Our VietNet family has been +growing so fast!) BTW, I still keep a copy of this troff package. + +Anyway, happy printing... + |
