20 This documents describes briefly how to use EGG.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 Before using EGG, you must, at first, install Wnn/cWnn Ver.4.108 or the
|
|
|
23 higher version. Then install Mule after configuring by argument
|
|
|
24 `--wnn'. See the file `INSTALL' for more detail.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 @subsection Getting start with EGG
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 At first, check if your mule has already loaded necessary
|
|
|
29 ITS (Input Translation System) modes. By 'C-x C-k m'. You
|
|
|
30 can see the list at the echo area. 'C-n' will show you the
|
|
|
31 rest. To input Chinese, you need 'PinYin' mode. If it
|
|
|
32 can't be found in the list,
|
|
|
33 @quotation
|
|
|
34 @code{M-x load-library<CR>chinese<CR>}
|
|
|
35 @end quotation
|
|
|
36 is the easiest way.
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 Next you should tell the system a hostname on which cserver
|
|
|
39 is running by:
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 @example
|
|
|
42 M-x set-cserver-host-name<CR>hostname<CR>
|
|
|
43 @end example
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 Putting
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 @example
|
|
|
48 (set-cserver-host-name "hostname")
|
|
|
49 @end example
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 in your .emacs may be easier.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 Then type @code{C-\}. You'll see the change in the left of
|
|
|
54 modeline. The text in brackets shows the current mode. If
|
|
|
55 it is not the mode you want to use, select any mode (for
|
|
|
56 instance @code{PinYin}) by @code{C-x C-k m} and @code{C-n}, @code{C-f} (for
|
|
|
57 moving around the cursor at the echo area) and @code{<CR>} (for
|
|
|
58 selecting). If you chose @code{PinYin}, you'll see Chinese
|
|
|
59 character "QuanPin" at the modeline.
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
61 Now you can type in PinYin. Long sequence is ok. For
|
|
|
62 instance,
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 @example
|
|
|
65 nihaobeijing<SP>
|
|
|
66 @end example
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 will build Chinese text for "Ni Hao Bei Jing".
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
70 Reversed region shows the current target word. @code{C-f}, @code{C-b}
|
|
|
71 moves cursor to another word. @code{<SP>} select next candidate of
|
|
|
72 Chinese text. @code{M-s} (or @code{ESC s}) shows list of candidates at
|
|
|
73 the echo area. @code{C-n}, @code{C-p} chose another candidate.
|
|
|
74 @code{M-i}/@code{M-o} change the length of word shorter/longer.
|
|
|
75 @code{<CR>} or another alphabet key settles the current text, @code{C-g}
|
|
|
76 cancels.
|
|
|

|
79 @subsection Four phases
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 While you are using EGG, you'll move around four phases: normal-phase,
|
|
|
82 transition-phase, fence-phase, and translation-phase.
|
|
|
83
|
|
|
84 @itemize
|
|
|
85 @item normal-phase
|
|
|
86
|
|
|
87 Left edge of modeline is something like:
|
|
|
88
|
|
|
89 @example
|
|
|
90 [--]J.:--**-Mule: ...
|
|
|
91 @end example
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
93 In this phase, all the keys typed are processed as normal.
|
|
|
94 You won't be conscious of the existence of EGG.
|
|
|
95
|
|
|
96 @item transition-phase
|
|
|
97
|
|
|
98 When you type @code{C-\ (toggle-egg-mode)} at normal-phase, you'll
|
|
|
99 be in translation-phase.
|
|
|
100 Left edge of modeline shows something like:
|
|
|
101
|
|
|
102 @example
|
|
|
103 [ITS_MODE_INDICATOR]J.:--**-Mule: ...
|
|
|
104 @end example
|
|
|
105
|
|
|
106 where ITS_MODE_INDICATOR is a multilingual string indicating
|
|
|
107 the current its-mode. For instance, if the current its-mode
|
|
|
108 is PinYin, Chinese text "QuanPin" is shown. In this phase,
|
|
|
109 all your editing commands (say, delete, next-line, ...) are
|
|
|
110 still processed as normal. But, once you type any graphic
|
|
|
111 key ('0'..'~'), you are thrown into fence-phase.
|
|
|
112
|
|
|
113 @item fence-phase
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
115 The modeline is the same as in transition-phase. But, the last
|
|
|
116 character you typed is surrounded by '|' (fence), or underlined if your
|
|
|
117 are using @code{face}. Any more graphic characters you type are
|
|
|
118 translated along rules defined in the current its-mode. For instance,
|
|
|
119 your type @code{n} in transition-phase, the buffer will change as follows:
|
|
|
120
|
|
|
121 @example
|
|
|
122 YourKey n i 3 h a o 3
|
|
|
123 Buffer |n| |ni| |Ni | |Ni h| |Ni ha| |Ni hao| |Ni Hao |
|
|
|
124 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|
|
|
125 @end example
|
|
|
126
|
|
|
127 where @code{i} and @code{a} characters at @code{^} are shown with tone
|
|
|
128 marks. This is because its-mode for PinYin has rules:
|
|
|
129
|
|
|
130 @example
|
|
|
131 ni3 -> Ni , hao3 -> Hao
|
|
|
132 ^ ^
|
|
|
133 @end example
|
|
|
134
|
|
|
135 If you are not sure about tones, you can omit them.
|
|
|
136
|
|
|
137 In this phase, you can move cursor only within the fence (or underlined
|
|
|
138 region) by @code{C-a}, @code{C-e}, @code{C-f}, and @code{C-b}.
|
|
|
139
|
|
|
140 When you type @code{<SPC>}, the string in the fence are sent to
|
|
|
141 background `cserver' and a converted string appears in the fence. At
|
|
|
142 the same time, you are thrown into translation-phase
|
|
|
143
|
|
|
144 Hitting C-g will let you go back to transition-phase after
|
|
|
145 deleting the fence (and its contents).
|
|
|
146
|
|
|
147 @item translation-phase
|
|
|
148
|
|
|
149 Left edge of the modeline is something like:
|
|
|
150
|
|
|
151 @example
|
|
|
152 [TRS_MODE_INDICATOR]J.:--**-Mule: ...
|
|
|
153 @end example
|
|
|
154
|
|
|
155 where TRS_MODE_INDICATOR is a string indicating the server.
|
|
|
156 In the case of 'cserver', Chinese character "Han" of "Hanzi"
|
|
|
157 is shown. Now you are seeing Chinese text in the fence (or highlighted
|
|
|
158 region). The text in the fence may have the form:
|
|
|
159
|
|
|
160 @example
|
|
|
161 |A-B-CD-E FG|
|
|
|
162 @end example
|
|
|
163
|
|
|
164 where @code{A..G} are Chinese characters. In this case, the text
|
|
|
165 is divided into two BIG-PHRASEs @code{A-B-CD-E} and @code{FG}, and the
|
|
|
166 former is divided into 5 SMALL-PHRASEs @code{A}, @code{B}, @code{CD},
|
|
|
167 and @code{E}.
|
|
|
168 You can change the division point of current phase (which
|
|
|
169 your cursor is on) by:
|
|
|
170
|
|
|
171 @example
|
|
|
172 C-i: make BIG-PHRASE shorter
|
|
|
173 C-o: make BIG-PHRASE longer
|
|
|
174 M-i: make SMALL-PHRASE shorter
|
|
|
175 M-o: make SMALL-PHRASE longer
|
|
|
176 @end example
|
|
|
177
|
|
|
178 When you get a desired text, fix it by typing @code{<CR>} or @code{C-l}.
|
|
|
179 Just type another graphic key is also ok. In the former case, you are
|
|
|
180 moved to transition-phase, and in the latter case, you are moved to
|
|
|
181 fence-phase.
|
|
|
182
|
|
|
183 Hitting @code{C-g} will let you go back to fence-phase.
|
|
