BxIO/Repo Selection

• Sources for production of content are kept in:
  • Git Repos
  • ByStar Information Object Containers
• Decide on which BxIO/Repo you want to allocate to the content.
• If needed create a Git Repo or a BxIO for the content.

Content Base Creation

Within the selected BxIO/Repo you now need to create a base for the content

• cd to BxIO/Repo
• mkdir contentBase
• cd contentBase

For example, /lcnt/lgpc/examples/permanent/bxde/en+fa/pres+art/ex1

Content Languages Selection

Multilingualization

• Decide On Primary Language Direction – en+fa=l2r fa+en=r2l fa=r2l en=l2r
• Decide On Secondary Languages If Any – english, farsi
• Combine The Primary And Secondary Languages – en+fa, fa+en
• When Only The Primary Langauge Is Needed, Just Select That – en, fa

Even when your text is expected to be in a single language, it is still a good idea to select more than one language so that multi-lingualization support is in place.

Content Forms Selection

• Decide on Desired forms – Presentation, Article+Presentation, Article – Memo, WebPage, Mailings
• Article form can also be: Memo, WebPage, Mailings
• Presentation form can also be: WebSlider
• When wishing to have both Presentation And Article forms, one needs to be considered primary. pres+art and art+pres are slightly different.

Content Language And Form Selection

Based on your languages selection and your forms selection you can now create a starting point

• lcnLcntGens.sh – is used to create starting points for content development
• In CntnBaseDir, run lcnLcntGens.sh –
• From the offered list, select languages and forms

Running that, auto assigns a “Content Number” for you.

Your BxIO/Repo and location determines Author, organization and Publications Destinations.

In CntnBaseDir you now have starting point tex files, lcntProc.sh, panel.org and LCNT-INFO.

• NOTYET – Text from lcnLcntRoadmap.sh comes here

Metadata Configuration

• lcnLcntGens.sh has created for you LCNT-INFO with initial values. You may need to configure these values.
• Run: lcntProc.sh -v -n showRun -i editLcntInfo mainTitle shortTitle subTitle subSubTitle description to specify the name/title of your content.
• Run: lcntProc.sh -i dblockUpdateFile articleEnFa.ttytex presentationEnFa.ttytex presArtEnFa.ttytex to update all relevant dblocks to reflect the changes that you made to the LCNT-INFO metadata.

You now have a starting point. You can next build this initial content.

Different Ways of Building The Content

Three different ways of processing your content.

• Command-Line Bash ICM – lcntProc.sh
• ICM Panel – Panel.org
• Org bash command from within LaTeX sources in org-mode

Content Processing – With lcntProc.sh

• lcntProc.sh
• lcntProc.sh -i fullUpdate
• lcntProc.sh -i fullClean
• lcnLcntInputProc.sh -p inFormat=xelatex -p outputs=pdf -i buildDocs presentationEnFa.ttytex
• lcnLcntInputProc.sh -p inFormat=xelatex -p outputs=heveaHtml -i buildDocs presentationEnFa.ttytex

Content Processing – With Panel.org

• Visit Panel.org
• Select “run mode”
• Just click on what you want

Content Processing – From LaTeX Sources

• Visit any of presentationEnFa.ttytex articleEnFa.ttytex bodyPresArtEnFa.tex
• Switch to org-mode Overview – [F12-F12]
• Click on Build & Preview Choices

Multilingualization Features

Left-To-Right Masters

• presentationEnFa.ttytex and presArtEnFa.ttytex input bodyPresArtEnFa.tex
• articleEnFa.ttytex input bodyArticleEnFa.tex

.ttytex files are NOT intended to be considered “generally editable”.
They are driven by LCNT-INFO metadata through dblock updates.
They are customized by dblock argument selections
They are extended by
inputs additions.

• bodyPresArtEnFa.tex has presentation form content
• bodyArticleEnFa.tex has article form content

It is possible to use conditional common text to use within both forms.

Conditional Processing Features

• beginpresentationMode – ByStar-Extention (LaTeX and HeVeA)
• beginarticleMode – ByStar-Extention (LaTeX and HeVeA)

• latexonly – HeVeA provided
• htmlonly – HeVeA provided
• rawhtml – HeVeA provided

Prepare For Multi-Media Additions

• In Panel.org – Run lcntProc.sh -i mmUniteStart
• Go to mmUnite Panel
• From ./MmUnitePanel.org – Run mmUnite.sh -h -v -n showRun -i screenCastingFullUpdate This Creates ./disposition.gened/ Where each frame is numbered and labled.

Adding Voice-Over Sounds To Slides

• In ./CntntBase/audio from the Panel, run mmUniteAudio.sh -h -v -n showRun -i frameNamesPrepare This creates 1 sec silence files in .wav format for each of the files corresponding to labels in the presentation file.
• In ./CntntBase/audio from the Panel Go to rec command and frameRecordCommand
• Click on each of the audacity frameFileName.wav
• Within audacity, export audio, overwrite extension as .wav
• When completed, run mmUniteAudio.sh -i fullUpdate – This will convert all the .wav files to .mp3 and figure their length.
