- Text Analysis of Classical Authors with ConTeXt: From Text to XML to PDF
- Thomas A. Schmitz
- CG Journal 2019, p. 54-71
- abstract: In my classes, I often provide lists of vocabulary for the (Greek or Latin) authors that we are studying. I use ConTeXt not only to typeset these lists, but also as a tool for extracting them from pure text files. The ConTeXt distribution contains a number of helpers that make it more convenient to use than pure Lua.
