💖 mtx-patterns — ConTeXt Pattern File Management 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mtx-patterns, section 1 of the manual, and it is literally the ConTeXt Pattern File Management tool. yes, the whole name. no notes. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtxrun --script patterns [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

that's it, that's the summoning ritual 🫶 you run it through mtxrun --script patterns, sprinkle some OPTIONS ... in there, and if you're feeling brave you can hand it some FILENAMES too.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ConTeXt Pattern File Management. she manages pattern files for ConTeXt. that's the job. that's the whole vibe. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

so many little knobs and switches, and every single one of them is iconic in its own way:

  • --convert — generates context language files. it's mnemonic driven, and if you don't give it a mnemonic, then it does all of them. yes, all. she's ambitious. ✨
  • --check — checks a pattern file. no file given? then she checks the ones that context actually uses. either way, she's checking on you. 🦋
  • --path — the source path, aka where your hyph-foo.tex files are living. 🏠
  • --destination — the destination path. that's where the stuff goes. bye bestie, safe travels. 👋
  • --specification — additional patterns, and the example given is literally: =cy,hyph-cy,welsh. copy that exactly, don't freestyle it. 🍓
  • --compress — compress the data. squeeze it. make it smol. 🧚
  • --words — updates the words in the given file. 💜
  • --hyphenate — shows hyphenated words (the original says "hypephenated", which honestly? typo but make it fashion 💀). 🔥
