[NTG-context] switching to Context
Hello, I'm thinking of making the switch from latex to context, indeed I'm working on my first non-trivial document as a trial. I have some questions. (1) Is it possible to do conditional compilation? I wish to use context to write lecture notes with embedded pictures. I'd like to compile the document into one form to hand out to the class (or make available on the web) and another to be used as a presentation, much like latex-beamer, with just the pictures. (2) Is it possible to convert context into plain text (i.e. strip out the formatting instructions)? This may seem eccentric but it might, with some programming, offer a means to put document content into a relational database, perhaps in paragraph chunks.

[NTG-context] inline-graphics and unwanted line-break
Hi,
I have a small metapost graphic I like to use inline. But the arragement
behaves a little bit unpractically. As soon there is no character in front
of the graphic context will break the line after the graphic - but as soon
there is a character in front of the graphic, context does not adding a
linebreak after the graphic.
Does anyone know how to prevent the line-break after the graphic if the
graphic is the first inline?
Thanks, P.
example-file:
\startuseMPgraphic{zo}
color schwarz ; schwarz := (.0,.0,.0) ;
draw
(0pt,0pt)--(0pt,8pt)--(5pt,12pt)--(10pt,8pt)--(10pt,0pt)--(0pt,0pt)--cycle
withcolor schwarz ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\hbox{\useMPgraphic{zo}} test text - why a line-break? How to prevent this?
a \hbox{\useMPgraphic{zo}} test text - this is fine: no line-break!
\stoptext

[NTG-context] selectively turn off captions
Hello,
I'm making progress in using modes - thanks again for the help so far
that was given in the switching to Context thread.
I have followed Thomas Schmitz' practex article and have set up modes
for presentation and manuscript. I am using external figures on most
of the slides. In presentation mode there is no need for figure
captions (the slide heading and my waffling will suffice). In
manuscript mode I'd like to have captions to the figures. I know I
can disable captions with {none} for each individual figure, but can I
do this _just_ for the presentation? I have looked up \setupcaptions
but there does not seem to be a none option that could be used for
this purpose.
Thanks,
Roger

LaTeX has a package called datenumber. It basically allows you to
several things:
1) convert a date into a number,
What number? What's the input and what's the output?
First you set the date:
\setdatenumber{year}{month}{day}
Example: \setdatenumber{2007}{1}{5}
Internally, this sets a counter called datenumber.
You print the date with \datedate.
Then, to increment by a week, you would add 7 to the datenumber and set the
date as follows:
\addtocounter{datenumber}{7}
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}
I made a function that increments the date:
\def\IncDate{%
\addtocounter{datenumber}{7}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
}%
Then, I created a table with the first column entries as follows:
\datedate\IncDate
\datedate\IncDate
\datedate\IncDate
\datedate\IncDate
\datedate\IncDate
...
The output would be:
Friday, 5 January, 2007
Friday, 12 January, 2007
Friday, 19 January, 2007
Friday, 26 January, 2007
Friday, 2 February, 2007
This way I do not have to put in anything except the first date and dates for
the whole year are calculated and printed for me.
2) add and subtract from that
number, in essence adding and subtracting days, and
3) converting a date number into a date string.
The manual mentions this example
\date[d=17,m=11,y=2007][weekday,month,day,{, },year]
or simply
\date[y=2007,m=11,d=27]
or
\currentdate
As best as I can tell, this only sets the date. I can see of no way to add a
given number of days to calculate a new date.
I use this package to create a yearly lesson
schedule and various other similiar things. However, I have spent a
considerable amount of time trying to find the same functionality in
ConTeXt with no avail. Is there a solution for this?
There are quite some macros in tex/context/base/core-con.tex (
core-con.mkii) devoted to that. I didn't play with substraction yet,
but I bet there is some simple way to do it.
I looked through the source code of core-con.mkii, core-con.mkiv and
core-con.tex. I don't see the functionality I need already constructed. I
was hoping that an existing solution existed without the need for creating
new code.
Mojca
Thanks for you help. If I overlooked something, let me know.

Re: [NTG-context] inline-graphics and unwanted line-break
\dontleavehmode
is
\dontleavehmode=\quitvmode.
and \quitvmode is a primitive
stricly speacking we don't see a space, but a command that switch to a
mode to another.
And it's also sound good: you have put a command to change status.
\hskip\zeropoint\hbox{} ;-)
here we see a space of 0pt.
Can be a bit embarassing that a horiz. space of 0pt make difference
between status,
because one can think hey, a space of 0pt is nothing and should do nothing!
(Of course, \hskip0t has sense )
\hskip1sp\hbox{...}
here we see a space of 1sp, ie (1/2^16) * 1pt which is invisible to human eye.
Here my invisible touch effect.
It's more human because i can say hey, you have inserted a hor.
space very small, so small that you can see it,
but it's always a hor,. space not null, so it's reasonable a change of state.
btw,
the context way is
\dontleavehmode
