Re: [NTG-context] One-off theorem titles
by S Barmeier 03 Mar '11

With the current solution, I still have the problem that the numbers of \starttheorem and \startproclaim{Theorem} are on the (resp.) left and right side of the text/title and I don't know how to change that. I still find \starttheorem[text={Special Theorem}] (and that is called key-val-input?) the more intuitive, though. Maybe it would be worth considering to enable such inputs - it seems many other \start... \stop... environments allow such key-val-inputs. The annotation module looks good from afar, I just can't find it on contextgarden nor on tlcontrib...

Making contents 'clickable'

In a lot of e-books you see that when you are at the contents that the chapters an sections can be clicked and you go to them. Can ConTeXt make this kind of documents? -- Cecil Westerhof

Re: [NTG-context] One-off theorem titles & numberstyle
by S Barmeier 03 Mar '11

Thank you for the quick reply, it is getting quite close. I guess the trick is to define an enumeration for one-off use and use "title=" to fake "text=". The only problem is that the number sits between text and title. So to still be able to use \starttheorem alongside \startproclaim{Theorem}, I would need to know how to either place the number after the "title" or how to place it before the "text". I'd be interested in knowing how to do both. Also, I have problem with the numbering mechanism and the numberstyle/textstyle/etc. \defineenumeration[theorem] [text=Theorem, numberstyle=normal, headstyle=bold, textstyle=caps, number=yes] \defineenumeration[proclaim] [text=, number=theorem, headstyle=bold, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=] \starttext \starttheorem Abc \stoptheorem \startproclaim{Special Theorem} Def \stopproclaim \stoptext This gives as is no number for \startproclaim{Special Theorem}, although I asked for number=theorem. Also, the numberstyle of \starttheorem is not normal, but bold, and adding textstyle=normal/caps/etc. seems to have no effect either.

m-obsolete.tex has an undefined control sequence
by Zhichu Chen 03 Mar '11

Hi Hans, I guess it should be \writestatus\m!system{skipping obsolete module} but somehow the file in the latest beta reads \writestatus\m!systems{skipping obsolete module} I have to define this macro to \def\m!systems{\m!system} before loading the bib module so that I can keep the system untouched. -- Best Regards Chen

Work available
by Ian Lawrence 02 Mar '11

Hi all, I think for the sake of my sanity I am going to stop building prototypes now. I am very grateful to those who have been very helpful along the way, answering what must have seemed like foolish questions. I'd have to say that getting to grips with Context has taken longer than I bargained for, and has not been as smooth as I hoped. But without you, collectively, extreme frustration would have kicked in long ago. I am based in the UK and have a moderate budget to develop some frameworks in which to publish a series of documents that'll be up for being maintained. This will be the third iteration for some of the collection, which have appeared on CD-ROM in a Macromedia shell, then as rich pdfs with an InDesign - Acrobat Pro workflow. Now, maybe, they'll find a final home in Context, at least for the pdf versions. There are two pieces of work, I think, requiring different skill sets, I think. 1) To build some context templates, using modes and layers to give me the ability to produce pdfs of varying 'heft' by switching in and out layers. What people might read on a smartphone / iPad ought to be different to what they might get on a fast desktop / laptop running Acrobat, so permitting embedded swfs. The text is already highly structured and the trick will be to implement a document that automates much of what must be done by hand in InDesign, and to fully exploit the facilities in Context. 2) (This might be some heavy lifting, so may be best thought of separately). To build the wherewithal to allow rich swfs to be placed in the resulting pdfs by Context, at their natural size and at a specified location, and loading in poster frames and directories of assets where these exist (for which you currently have to use Acrobat Pro). It is possible that I could, eventually manage the first, but I'd expect someone with a history of working on Context to do a much more elegant, clean and maintainable job. The second task is will need some cunning coding in Lua, or equivalent, I expect. Anyone interested, please contact me off list, where we can discuss further details. I am at: Ian.Lawrence at Physics.org Two notes: Since the work is on behalf of the right kind of organisation, I'd anticipate putting the results of (2) back into the community - that's what we're doing with our other 'engine' (Flash) development. It'll be easiest for my finance department if you are a consultant or business that can raise invoices. kind regards Ian

compare locations of two pagereferences
by Daniel Schopper 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Dear all, how can one compare the locations of two pagereferences for conditional processing? I tried it with this (mkiv, 2011.01.10): \starttext \pagereference[page:a]bla \pagereference[page:b]bla \at[page:a] % 1 \at[page:b] % also 1 \doifsamestringelse{\at[page:a]}{\at[page:b]}{same page}{different page} % yet, the else-branch gets executed \stoptext Of course this is clumsy, but although I tried to peek into strc-ref I couldn't quite sort out how to directly access the results of \at. Thanks Daniel
