Note aux francophones :
Des renseignements assez d'etaill'es sur CorTeX et email-fr
apparaissent avril-juin 1993 dans les transactions de la liste
'electronique GUT, affich'ees sur le serveur ftp ftp.cicb.fr (login:
anonymous). Voir aussi un r'esume 'eventuel juxtant ce fichier
sur ftp matups.matups.fr.
*************************************************
***** INTRODUCTION *****
*************************************************
--- email-fr is a scheme for efficient typing of French
accented characters in which one types ' for \' (accute
accent), ` for \` (grave accent), ^ for \^ (hat accent), and /
for for apostrophe (at least before before e and E).
The French abstract avove is in this style.
--- CorTeX is a similar scheme which differs in that ' ^ `
follow the vowel, and / is not used for apostrophe. It was
set up by by Hubert Garavel (imag) and modified somewhat
by Pascal Amsili <amsili@chm.irit.fr>. See a partial posting
by Amsili on ftp matups.matups.fr. Many users find CorTeX
conventions just a bit more natural, probably because
they are closer to handwriting.
CorTeX also allows " for diaressis following a vowel.
But one one should avoid its use on terminal vowels:
type aigu\"e, Malm\"o, not aigue", Malmo" to avoid
confusion with " as closing double quotes (guillemets).
In both systems of typing Knuth's more prolix syntax
for accents remains available.
The email-fr typing is acceptable to TeX once a small macro
pakage email-fr.sty has been loaded; email-fr is thus
perfectly portable.
CorTeX requires a preprocessor, which is given as a lex
script (lex is a unix utility). This script performs a couple
of extra services:
(a) Conversion of tabs to spaces. This trivial feature is
neglected here since it can be done readily by a
wordprocessor at any time.
(b) Conversion of oe to \oe when french typography
requires it. This non-trivial feature is retained here and
adopted for all conversions concerning email-fr since it manages
to do gracefully what many of us neglect. Please complain
if mistakes result!
Because lex is not conveniently accessible on the Mac but
the editor QedM is, there was a need for a QedM version of
CorTeX. It is the macro:
**post-acc2tex : CorTeX --> TeX
For users of email-fr who want to have ".tex" file
blend most easily with Knuth's syntax (perhaps at
the cost of readibility) there is also:
**pre-acc2tex : email-fr --> TeX
For good measure converters between email-fr and CorTeX
are provided:
**post-acc2pre-acc : email-fr <-- CorTeX
**pre-acc2post-acc : email-fr --> CorTeX
And also three converters from standard TeX typing to various
more readable formats:
**tex2pre-acc : TeX to email-fr
--- useful for making a French language .tex file readable
without while leaving it portable ie ascii and typesettable
anywhere. Do not forget to add essential email-fr commands.
**tex2mac : TeX to full Macintosh 8-bit encoding (Mac Times)
--- useful for spelling checks by Mac spelling checkers
for French or for freeding to non-TeX Mac formatters
such as Microsoft Word.
**tex2swt : TeX to Sweet 8-bit encoding (Sweet-teX).
--- The font Sweet-teX is a 12 point bitmapped screen font
for Macintosh that combines essential accents, formatting
"roadsigns", and math symbols. It is part of the TeX
preprocessor Sweet-teX for math typeseting that is available
on ftp matups.matups.fr.
All these macros are located in an appendix in ascii form
or as a binary Macintosh file of type QMAC and creator
QED1.
*************************************************
***** USE OF THE MACROS *****
*************************************************
(0) Only the macros whose names begin with stars **...
are intended to be used directly; the rest are
"subroutines". Choose a work folder by opening a file in
it. Run the macro ***initialize to be sure that a work
file "ctwk" exists in it. The action of a two-star macro
such as **post-acc2tex will be restricted to the active
window and further it will not change that window without
approval of the user; instead, auxiliary files are used.
(1) To process a file open it and save a copy to the
folder work folder. The window of the fiel to process must
be selected a macor is run. Further, if some text is
SELECTED in the active window the macro ignores everything
but the selection. This is useful to make a quick trial
run on a critical part of the typescript. This may equally
be useful and necessary to avoid parts of a typescript
that are typed in distinct fashion. In such heterogeneous
typescripts, QuedM allows one to mark various chunks of
the typescript in such a way that they can be selected
instantly at any time. (Select the chunk and use the Set
Marker... option in the Search menu.) For example, one
might mark text from \beginemailFR to \endemailFR for
conversion to ordinary tex syntax. If one takes care to
use a *copy* of the original typescript, one can then
progressively paste in the converted chunks offered by the
macros.
(2) Contrary to the original CorteX policy, the
character " following a terminal vowel is not interpreted
as a dieresis thereon, but as a double quote --- unless the
word in question is aigue" or Malmo" or oither exceptions to
be added. This allows Knuth's use of " for closing
double quotes to be maintained in practice.
(3) A fundamental weakness of these macros is that they
do not distinguish math mode rigourously. In math mode ^,
_ or <comma>, ', (each without \ before it) have
meanings that may conflict with their meanings in prose.
Hence the inspection macros will be provided in a separate
macro file to warn of possible conflicts with the CorTeX
and email syntax. They give a report on possible
difficulties. It should suffice to arrange that the above
characters are separated by a space or at least something
that avoids possible interpretation as an accent. These
inspector macros will also warn of possible problems
outside of mathematics.
