Zivijo,

ce bi slucajno se kdo sel v Brno na enotedenski tecaj LuaTeX-a (v
kolikor sem prav razumela, je zastonj), naj sporoci.

> Masaryk University, Brno, Botanicka 68a, 60200 Brno
> during the week Dec 8-12, 2008.
> The course will take place mostly in the Natural Language Processing
> Lab. If you can, bring your laptop with TeXlive 2008
> installed, you will be given Wi-Fi access. You could use
> (limited number) of computers in the lab.

> Course title: Typographic programming
>
> Syllabus:
> * There will be a series of meetings where the following topics
>   will be covered.
> * TeX as language, the road from input to output,
>   tokens and nodes.
> * Lua as language, what can it do and what not, why and how do
>   we use it as embedded language.
> * LuaTeX as system, how does the two languages work together in
>   opening up the typesetting engine.
> * CONTEXT MKIV as application, what kind of code is needed to
>   permit the use of advanced font technologies, how to get away
>   with some of TeX's limitations, what kind of technologies are
>   needed to fulfil today's typesetting demands.
> * Typographic programming, what is it and how can it be applied
>   in automated typesetting workflows.
> * In addition one of the computer rooms will be reserved so that
>   we can practice the above and work on the products needed for
>   the exam.

> Day 1 (Monday, Dec 8)
>
> 12:00--13:30 room D2: independent motivating lecture
>     Typographic programming with LuaTeX
>     Abstract:
>      - what is involved in typographic programming
>      - why and when do we need it
>      - an introduction in luatex (successor of pdftex)
>      - commented examples of luatex applications
>
> 14:30--17:00 in the NLP lab (room B205):
>   - running tex
>   - some basic manuals
>   - setting up a simple document style
>
>
> Day 2 (Tuesday, Dec 9)
>
> 9:00-11:00 [&16-18 if needed] B517 lecture
>   - introduction to mplib
>   - introduction to the lua scripting language
>   - how does it fit together
>   - examples of documents and coding
>
>   in lab (11:30-13:00, 14-17):
>   - embedding an mp graphic
>   - using lua to handle data
>   - individual project consultations
>
>
> Day 3 (Wednesday, Dec 10)
>
>  9:00-11:00 B517 lecture

>
> Day 5 (Friday, Dec 12)
>
> 9:00-12:30 13:30-16:00 either in C517 or in the lab
>  - students present and discuss results/proposals
>   - suggestions for improvements/implementation

> In the course we will use luatex, a successor to pdftex developped at
> this university. The macropackage we use is ConTeXt. Here are a few
> url's that can help you prepare for this course:
>
>  > http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-0012.pdf
>  > http://www.luatex.org binaries and reference manual
>  > http://contextgarden.net information about CONTEXT
>  > http://www.lua.org/ information about the Lua language
>
> In depth TeX macro language knowledge is not needed since we will use
> mostly wrapper macros as probided by ConTeXt. However, it makes sense to
>   play a while with the Lua interpreter beforehand. Documentation can be
> found at
>
> http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/doc/hopl.pdf
> http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg.html
>
> You also need to think about a possible application for instance a small
> pretty printing subsystem (in that case you can use lua for parsing and
> preparation and tex for the typesetting).
