presentation module
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Let me start with a quote: "After using ConTeXt for a while, many users begin to think about producing their presentations with it, too. ConTeXt is ideally suited for this task. " In fact, I hate transitions :) And I don't need any animations. I just want professionally-looking pdf pages with rich image stuff to assist the speaker, and I believe that Context is well suitable for this. Where I can get simpleslides? I want to give them a try, and see what can be improved. I did not find simpleslides on the wiki, but instead found http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentations . Is it up-to date? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents contains good example of presentation by Brooks. IMHO, it beats any static PowerPoint presentation. Vyatcheslav

FiXme module
by Wolfgang Schuster 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi all, for the people who're looking for a equivalent of the FiXme package for LaTeX, there is a first version only with the basic commands. I can extend the module if there is interest but I don't want to integrate margin notes and highlighted as the todonotes package has. URL: http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/fixme/ Wolfgang

beta
by Hans Hagen 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi, I uploaded a beta just before leaving for bachotek. Quite some structure (lua) code has been overhauled and i need to finish some bits. I can probably fix urgent failures but real fixes have to wait till next week. As I'm redoing the backend as well as cross referencing some interaction features might be broken but normally they are easy to fix (once i know what fails). So, best collect all bugs while i'm away so that i can deal with then at once. Hans Aditya ... math numbering formulas is somewhat broken but i'll fix asap; we will have multiple levels of numbering as well as captions for formulas that go to lists etc etc. For that i need to separate some code. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

simpleslides
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I gave a try to Simple slides... It seems to be very nice, but a few questions raised immediately 1) I get warnings (in mkiv): (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/third/simple-slides/simpleslides-f-default.tex simpleslides : loading default font setup fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) )) 2) How to use arbitrary fonts (e.g., specified in type-win)? Best, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] What happened with sectionworld?

Wolfgang, your script in mkiv produces "It's not as hard you think, just show him a few nice things and he is happy. See section 1 at page *11.1*." I don't understand why \at{page}[sec:happy] outputs section number. Vyatcheslav

installing minimals

Hi, I don't know whether the following is related to what is being discussed at the moment, but when trying to install a new version of minimals (in a separate, fresh directory), compiling a test file fails with the following message: On the Mac (Leopard): Setting "/Users/bonasia/contextexp/tex" as TEXROOT. bonasa:contextexp bonasia$ cd ~/Documents/alectoris/archives/talks/medges/longlife/ bonasa:longlife bonasia$ texmfstart texexec handout_longlife TeXExec | processing document 'handout_longlife' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file handout_longlife.top TeXExec | using randomseed 553 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled.

Updating the minimals: is something broken?
by Otared Kavian 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi all, in particular Mojca, Since yesterday updating, or installing anew, the minimals via the CLI does not work anymore. Here is the output I get: %%%%%%%%% begining of the transcript MacKavian:context-minimal kavian$ sh first-setup.sh receiving file list ... done sent 37 bytes received 132 bytes 48.29 bytes/sec total size is 5787294 speedup is 34244.34 MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTOLOC set to /Volumes/OK-10.4/context- minimal/bin MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTODIR set to /Volumes/OK-10.4/context- minimal MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to /Volumes/OK-10.4 MTXrun | fileio: variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR, $SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c} MTXrun | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MTXrun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.lua MTXrun | state: loaded MTXrun | update: start ./bin/mtx-update.lua:266: attempt to get length of global 'individual' (a nil value) %%%%%%%%% end of the transcript (My own installation and update works fine but when I wanted to install the minimals on a friend's machine, I noticed the above strange behaviour). The question is: is something broken or has the procedure changed? Thanks in advance: OK
