Subject: ANN: Japanese document toolkit From: Matt Gushee <mgushee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 23:43:06 -0400 (EDT) |
... or maybe I ought to say 'kludge-kit'. Anyway, I have finally packaged and put on the Web ... the first version of AHO-JDPS -- A HOmemade Japanese Document Processing System. It is a set of scripts, data files, instructions, and examples intended to help you process Japanese SGML documents. It is also a pun ;-) Although Jade by itself can handle Japanese documents, output formats are limited to SGML and RTF. I felt it was important to have TeX output also, so that has been the main focus of my efforts. The package includes: * A Python script that translates Japanese characters to a form that Jade's TeX backend can handle, runs Jade on the resulting file, then restores the Japanese text. * CJK-JadeTeX, a wrapper for JadeTeX that adds CJK macro commands and performs other little tweaks that seemed to be needed (you'll need the CJK macro package to use this). * Various support files for setting up Japanese TrueType fonts to work with the CJK macros. * A sample SGML document with corresponding DTD, and DSSSL stylesheets for HTML, TeX, and generic print-oriented formats. HTML, RTF, DVI, and PDF versions of the sample document are also provided. Finally, I should just inject a note of caution: don't expect to get any work done in a hurry with this. The project is in a very early stage, has a number of bugs, and requires a lot of manual setup -- though if you already have Jade and JadeTeX working, that's a good start. It's also a bit UNIX-oriented: supports only EUC encoding, comes in .tar.gz format, has been tested only on Linux, etc. I certainly intend to make it fully cross-platform eventually, but for the time being it will probably take a little extra work to use the stuff on Windows or MacOS. AHO-JDPS is available for download at: http://www.havenrock.com/docproc/nihongo/index.html Happy hacking! And please let me know what you think.
