Monospace with \texttt instead of \tt about asciidoctor-latex

[jxxcarlson]

Thanks! Will be able to look at it in about an hour. Keep those bug reports coming!!

Let's see how it is implemented:

$ echo "monospace italic bold" | asciidoctor-latex -a header=no -
The result was:

{\tt monospace} \emph{italic} \textbf{bold}
I propose to change {\tt monospace} to \texttt{monospace} (works for me).

The \texttt is documented at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts

Hi there!

I think that your difficulty has to do with the backlashes, not
with \tt or \textt per se. The following works:

monospace italic bold => {\tt monospace} \emph{italic} \textbf{bold}

but this (for example)

\monospace italic bold =>{\tt \monospace} \emph{italic} \textbf{bold}

won’t work because for TeX, backslash has a special meaning. That is
why you are getting errors.

If you have things
like \foo \bar in your source text, then you can do something like this:

---

\monospace is a macro

Use four dashes above and below. This will be translated into valid tex.
Here we are using what is called a verbatim macro package for TeX.
Asciidoctor-LaTeX knows how to translate the above into valid TeX.

If you need it in-line, I will need to do a little work to add this feature.

Best regards,

Jim

No, I put the backlash in the echo command because if I leave the ` it will be interpreted as a bash command:

$ echo "`monospace`"
monospace: command not found

[jxxcarlson]

OK, I agree that this works as stated - no errors. What is it that is giving you errors?

When I run {\tt whatever} and compare it to \texttt{whatever}, the outputs look the same to me.

$ cat rascunho.adoc
== my Chapter

`monospace`

$ cat rascunho.adoc | asciidoctor-latex -b latex -d book -a header=no -a numbered -
\hypertarget{_my_chapter}{\chapter{my Chapter}}
{\tt monospace}

So I copy this text, and put inside an template with this packages:

\usepackage{lmodern}            % Usa a fonte Latin Modern
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}        % Selecao de codigos de fonte.
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}     % Codificacao do documento (conversão automática dos acentos)
\usepackage{lastpage}           % Usado pela Ficha catalográfica
\usepackage{indentfirst}        % Indenta o primeiro parágrafo de cada seção.
\usepackage{color}              % Controle das cores
\usepackage{graphicx}           % Inclusão de gráficos
\usepackage{microtype}          % para melhorias de justificação

When I compile it with pdflatex:

! Class memoir Error: Font command \tt is not supported.

I see now that asciidoc-latex was made to work with xelatex:

$ asciidoctor-latex -b latex rascunho.adoc 
$ pdflatex rascunho.tex 
(....)

!...............................................

$ xelatex rascunho.tex 
(...)
Output written on rascunho.pdf (1 page).

Since I was using with header=no, the produced code was made for xelatex', not working withpdflatex`.

I think that the {\tt} command is not inside of these packages.

When I change to use with texttt my tex compiles with pdflatex,

When I change the \tt to \texttt it works.

[edusantana]

The microfile that you wrote with the class article ( at #37 ) , worked. It compiled with tt and texttt, both became monospace. I will test with memoir class.

[edusantana]

Yes, the problem is with the memoir class:

\documentclass[11pt, oneside]{memoir} 
\begin{document}

{\tt monospace with tt}

\texttt{monospace with texttt}
\end{document}

This one doesn't compile.

I have tested how pandoc does it, it uses \texttt:

$ cat pandoc.md 
`monospace with pandoc` *italic* **bold**
$ pandoc pandoc.md -t latex
\texttt{monospace with pandoc} \emph{italic} \textbf{bold}

[jxxcarlson]

Thanks, I’ll change to \textt later today

I’ve changed to \textt — could you
test? I am having some system
problems and can’t be sure that all is OK
until I get them fixed.

$ echo "\`monospace\` _italic_ *bold*" | asciidoctor-latex -a header=no -

the output was:

\textt{ monospace} \emph{italic} \textbf{bold}

I think there's an extra space: textt{ monospace} it should be -> textt{monospace}

[jxxcarlson]

Should be ok now -- no extra space. Again, could you double check?

Thanks so much for bringing up this problem -- sorry it took so much back and forth.
Please let me know if there are further problems .. the converter is still beta software

[edusantana]

It's okay now. thanks!
May I suggest put the number of the issue in the commit message? This way when can track it more easy...

[johnyf]

For those led here by searching about the memoir package error regarding \tt (mentioned above), the memoir class does not define old font commands (LaTeX 2.09) by default. These commands can be activated by explicitly passing the class option oldfontcommands to memoir, as described in this answer.
