ℙ𝕖𝕡 🙴 ℕ𝕠𝕞

things to be done on the ℙ𝕖𝕡 / ℕ𝕠𝕞 system

23 mar 2025

• make a help system for the /eg/text.tohtml.pss script which would explain the formats available for writing documents.
• empty list item at end of doc may eat the whole document!
• work on the dart translator.
• fix

• adapt /eg/nom.tohtml.pss to output L^AT_EX this is pretty simple since it is not a parsing script.
• wrap long lines in /eg/nom.tolatex.pss nicely so that I can make books in A4 with a bigger font.
• make a vim macro command or abbreviation that adds translation instructions for a given language. Or put the macro in /eg/text.tohtml.pss .
• Also make a translation macro in the HTML formatter which will list languages that have good nom translators and links to the translator scripts.
• make some format “attributes” for lists in html, for example to suppress the bullet points or make the list ordered etc.

There is a bug in the go and mark code in the pep interpreter. This occurs when more than one cell has been marked with the same “tag". This is a serious bug. but shouldnt be too hard to ” fix. I am not sure if the same bug exists in the translator scripts. Essentially if a new mark is created which has the same name as an existing mark then the existing mark should be deleted.

More things to do

• change sum() function in maths.tolatex.pss to take 3 arguments not two eg sum(0, :infinity, expression)
• make nom.tolatex.pss to produce latex output for printing.
• point pepnom.org to nomlang.org
• add stackmash as symlink in nom blog.

things done

• remove parsing code from nom.tohtml.pss and just make the script colourise and print. This is better because don’t have to reformat statements.
• make files automatically link in documents when they start with / such as /tr/translate.perl.pss . Directories work too such as the /tr/ folder.
• done: autolink /eg/text.tohtml.format.html hope so.
• done: added unordered lists. See /eg/text.tohtml.format.html for the details of the format. Basically list items start the line with - and end with a blank line or the end of the document.
• done: check centre aligning images in eg/text.tohtml.pss
• done: in blog.sh generate latex maths formula images and save in image/maths
• done: put the abbreviation code which is in nom.tohtml.pss into
• done: add help to eg/nom.syntax.reference.pss nom.syn.ref.pss
• done: make a template script with errors and help and parse stack watch.
• done: add equationset* token to eg/maths.tolatex.pss so that I can print lists of formulas and maths problems.
• done: rewrite maths.tolatex.pss using new grammar in maths.parse.pss (not much to rewrite)
• done: Improve unbalanced bracket error checking (in nom.syn.ref.pss

Things to do on the ℙ𝕖𝕡 and ℕ𝕠𝕞 system.

• rewrite translate.perl.pss using the new syntax at eg/nom.syntax.reference.pss
• make script nom.syntax.recognise.pss based on script above which just says “yes: nom syntax ok” or “no: etc” This script would become the basis of an non-error checking nom parser.
• add help system to eg/drawbasic.pss
• add upper case headings to text.tohtml.pss
• generate headers in eg/ to html with text.tohtml.pss
• make a new script text.tolatex.pss for printing a book
• revise the docs at nomlang.org/doc to generate printed material

Include the document folder in the download.tar.gz

Also do the translations swift, rust, dart, lisp, forth, lua, zig

I would like to call these scripts “nom.tojava.pss” or “nom.todart.pss” etc.

Add a script* grammar token to the scripts at (eof) which means that a valid script/program has been successfully parsed. (done in nom.syn.ref.pss

Consolidate all grammar token error checking into one section just after the parse> label in the translation scripts. This will make it much easier to maintain these scripts. (imitate nom.syntax.ref.pss)

Update the github ℙ𝕖𝕡 🙵 ℕ𝕠𝕞 repository.

Make sure ℙ𝕖𝕡 🙵 ℕ𝕠𝕞 can be downloaded with git and compiled with “make

” write a pretty printer for nom source code. eg look at colours in chromium view source.

write a table of contents parser

Add the “go;” syntax, go to the mark indicated in the tape cell

Change write; to writefile “name"; and writefile; (write to file” named in tapecell). Also make “readfile” with the same syntax. But “compile.pss” used write to sav.pp as a special process.

find the bug with pickwick papers (strange character hanging?)
