presentation (simple-slides?) master-like feature?
by Bruce 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I've been gravitating to a presentation system where I author presentations in markdown, and then convert them to an HTML-based system that results in examples like this: http://www.users.muohio.edu/darcusb/s6test/test.html This allows me to focus on content, but very quickly create high-quality slides. So I have a kind of default representation of a slide, but I also have a couple of CSS classes that I attach (via XSLT) to individual slides depending on the content. For example, if I have a title without any other text content, then I attach a "title" class to the slide, which renders the title larger, and vertical-centered on the page. If there's a single image, I attach a "imgbig" class, which floats the image to the background, and enlarges it to fill the slide. I would like to be able to do the same with PDF using ConTeXt, ideally using simple-slides. I know some styles have similar parameter options for things like image placement, but I'm not seeing anything equivalent for titles. Is this possible to add? Bruce

manuals
by Hans Hagen 28 Oct '09

Hi, On the website we now have tagged manuals as: - all -> mkii and mkiv - mkii -> written with mkii in mind, so not always optimal for mkiv - mkiv -> written with mkiv in mind, so mostly not optimal for mkii - obsolete -> (partially) obsolete or in need of an update This is visible in show-man.* and the pages that describe the manuals.

filter contents of xml elements
by Jelle Huisman 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi all, First of all a big thank you to Hans for MkIV xml support which is so much easier to understand than the MKII based method (or is that just me?) Anyway, I'm processing a rather messy html file and I would like to do some conditional processing based on the actual content of the element. See example below: I have linked <h3> with \subject but I would like to drop this element if the content of the element matches 'Skip title'. Any hints? Thanks! Jelle \startbuffer[test] <html> <h3>Title 1</h3> <p>Hello world.</p> <h3>Skip title</h3> <p>Hello world!</p> <h3>Title 2</h3> <p>Hello world?</p> <h3>Title 3</h3> <p>Hello :-)</p> </html> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:setups \xmlsetsetup{main}{html|h3|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:setups} \startxmlsetups xml:html \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:h3 \subject{\xmlflush{#1}} % but drop this if content of element is 'Skip Title' \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext Expected outcome: Title 1 Hello world. Hello world! Title 2 Hello world? Title 3 Hello :-)

Operator symbols ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, hopefully the four symbols that should come next are still in your email: ¬ ∨ ∧ ≡ I assume they are called conjunction, disjunction, negation and equals (with three lines). Does anybody know how to set them in (con)tex? Thanks Steffen

Hi, Some (most?) of you will have noticed this already, but just in case: Hans released a new current context yesterday. This is mostly a bugfix/ catchup release for mkiv functionality, but there are also a few other bugfixes. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2009.10.27 for details. Best wishes, Taco

ams font symbols
by Martin Scholz 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi List, does anybody of you know if there is context package/module that provides the usability of AMS symbols like \subsetneq or \subsetneqq? or is the only way to define every symbol by hand manually in the form of \mathchardef\subsetneq=#### Thanks for your help Martin

Hello Aditya > Does using an explicit endash (?) or emdash (?) work? > Yes, they work both. If I insert dash Unicode symbol in the editor, it works too. Looks like replacement of (--) with \endash is broken... Regards, Vyatcheslav
