The source code repository for the '''ConTeXt reference manual''' and
'''ConTeXt: an excursion''' is kept at
{{Domain|https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextman}}. This article
explains how to access the source code.
== The contents of the repository ==
There are three directories at the top level of the repository:
* `context-beginners` contains the code for ''ConTeXt: an excursion'', the beginners' manual.
* `context-reference` contains the code for the ''ConTeXt reference manual''.
* `context-commands` contains a proof-of-concept for a command reference based on Lua tables. This project is not currently active.
Each manual's directory contains a Makefile; to build the PDF, the following should suffice (''mutatis mutandis'').
cd context-reference
make
''ConTeXt: an excursion'' is available in several languages, stored in `context-beginners/en/`, `context-beginners/fr/`, etc. A number of extra `make` targets are available:
make en # make only the english screen and print versions
make fr-screen # make only the french screen version
== Getting the source code ==
The source code is stored and managed using Subversion. For more information, see the [[Subversion]] article on this wiki.
=== Anonymous checkout, for curiosity ===
(Instructions taken from [https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/?group_id=22 here].)
If you just want a copy of the manuals' source code, you can get it anonymously. Open a command prompt and enter the following command:
svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/contextman/
The password is `anonsvn`.
=== Non-anonymous checkout, for development ===
# [https://foundry.supelec.fr/account/register.php Register an account] on foundry.supelec.fr.
# [https://foundry.supelec.fr/project/request.php?group_id=22 Request to join] the `contextman` project
# Check out the source code using your developer name and password
svn checkout --username ''developername'' https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/contextman/
== Translating ''ConTeXt: an excursion'' ==
First, the preliminaries:
* follow the instructions above to make a non-anonymous checkout of the source.
* Choose an abbreviation LANG for your language (e.g. `it` for Italian).
Next, create the required files.
* Create a subdirectory LANG.
* Copy all English files here: `cp en/* LANG/`.
* In the file names, change any `en` segments to LANG.
Prepare the Makefile, so that anyone can compile your translation in a single step.
* Open the Makefile. Add your own language alongside the existing languages — a simple copy-and-modify strategy should get you there.
* Run `make LANG`
Then, it is time to start working on the translation.
* Comment each paragraph, and add your translation below it.
When you are done, post a message to the [[Mailing list|mailing list]] announcing your finished translation. It will be put up in the official download locations.
