presentations: "page number" and "next page"
Hello, Shortly: I would like modify the meaning of "previous/next page" buttons in interaction menu to point to the previous/next slide instead on the previous/next physical page. And I would like to number pages according to slides instead of considering physical pages. *********************************************************************** And here's a more detailed description: I use the "rsteps" module (by David Munger) for my presentation. I also use the interaction menu: \startinteractionmenu[bottom] ... \but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\ \but [lastpage] \symbol[lastpage] \\ ... \but [CloseDocument] \symbol[CloseDocument] \\ \stopinteractionmenu Instead of \but [previouspage] \symbol[previouspage] \\ \but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\ pointing on the previous and next slide, I would like these two buttons to have slightly different functionality: pointing to the LAST step of the previous/next slide. Apart from that, I would like to keep the page number on different steps of the same slide. I would use this number to print it in footer and to call it from Metafun (PageNumber, NOfPages or a similar name, as in meta-ini.tex). Here's the idea of how the presentation should look like. In the table below there's a: - real page number (in pdf document), - slide number (= same content gradually growing), - step on slide, - page number as it should be printed in footer and made accessible to metapost if needed, - real page number where the "Previous" button should point to, - real page number where the "Next" button should point to 1 - titlepage 2 - slide 1, step 1 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 3 3 - slide 1, step 2 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 6 4 - slide 2, step 1 - page 2 - < 3 > 6 5 - slide 2, step 2 - page 2 - < 3 > 6 6 - slide 2, step 3 - page 2 - < 3 > 7 7 - slide 3, step 1 - page 3 - < 6 > 10 8 - slide 4, step 1 - page 4 - < 7 > 10 9 - slide 4, step 2 - page 4 - < 7 > 10 0 - slide 4, step 3 - page 4 - < 7 > [none/self] I'm interested in the result on the first place, not so much on the mechanism that would "automatically recognize a new page and place everything as desired", so I don't mind if I have to (type)set anything manually. For example, it is no problem if I have to say \StartSteps[title] \thisIsANewSlideSoPlaceANewPageNumberInFooterAndLetMetafunKnowIfSheAsksForIt ... \OnlyStep[3]{\thePrevAndNextButtonsHaveToStopOnThisPage} ... \StopSteps Thank you very much for your help, Mojca Miklavec

one option is to use subpage numbers (grep for that in s-pre*) another option is to use the available stepper (pre-60), you can try that one with: texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61 \StartSteps .... \FlushStep .... \FlushStep \StopSteps Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
