[NTG-context] Making checkboxes
I am trying to define a (paper) feedback form. One of the things I
need is checkboxes. A first stab for this (for example I need also a
start text, but I do one step at a time) is, based on TeX by Topic, a
Texnician's Reference page 106:
\def\checkBox#1,{\space\space\space\space[\space\space] #1\par}
\def\checkBoxes(#1,){\xcheckBoxes#1, xxx,}
\def\endpiece{xxx}
\def\xcheckBoxes#1,{\def\temp{#1}%
\ifx\temp\endpiece
\else \checkbox#1,%
\expandafter\xcheckBox
\fi}
\starttext
Some text
\checkBoxes Yes, No, A little bit,xxx
\stoptext
I would expect:
Some text
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] A little bit
but I get:
Some text
es, No, A little bit,xxx
What am I doing wrong?
Something else: how do I 'eat' spaces between parameters. I would like
to have:
\checkBoxes Yes,No,A little bit,xxx
and:
\checkBoxes Yes, No, A little bit,xxx
the same result.
And is there a way to know how many parameters a macro gets? Like ${#}
in Bash. That would make things easier.

[NTG-context] breaking a line
Dear all I should break a line to correct for an Overfull \hbox ... error. How can I achieve this, so that the line before the manual line break remains justified. Example: Original text Abb. 1. Männchen von Megarhyssa rixator, einer charakteristischen Schlupf- wespe von im Holz lebenden Pflanzenwespen. R. Burri. Während der The word Schlupf cannot be hyphenated any further and therefore Schlupfwespe should be put on the next line. However, the above line above becomes raggedright with standard commands, e.g. \crlf. So, how can I force the word Schlupfwespe to the next line so that the the entire paragraph remains justified? The command should be the equivalent to LaTeX's \linebreak command. Any suggestions welcome.

Use the command in the correct way: \CheckBoxes[Yes, No, A little bit]
\def\CheckBoxes[#1]%
{\startitemize[packed][margin=2.5em,width=2em]
\processcommalist[#1]\doCheckBoxes

\def\doCheckBoxes#1%

For a paragraph delimited version of \Checkboxes you can write
\def\CheckBoxes#1\par
{\startitemize[packed][margin=2.5em,width=2em]
\processcommalist[#1]\doCheckBoxes
\stopitemize}
but this is not very context like.

Table and expansion are tricky. The error is caused by the last \HL and
goes away if you add another line.
But if you only want four horizontal lines, why not use \thinrules
\thinrules[n=4]
Also have a look at m-educat.tex (look at the example in the end of the
file) which is essentially a fancy wrapper around \thinrules.
I don't know if \thinrules are documented in a manual, but pack-rul.mkiv
gives a few examples:
\starttext
A couple of examples are given below.

test test \thinrules [alternativevariant=c] test test \par
test test \thinrules [alternativevariant=c,inbetween=\vskip2ex] test test
\par
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer {\getbuffer}
There are a couple of alternative ways to visualize rules
using backgrounds. At first sight these may look strange,
but they make sense in educational settings. The
alternatives are more or less compatible with the more
advanced \METAPOST\ based implementation.
\startbuffer[a]
\setupthinrules

I'm thinking about:
* Setup ConTeXt with zero or small margins,
* Setup page number (possibility to start from some value, not
necessary from 1)
* Include each page of PDF as picture
* Build PDF with ConTeXt
but I can not found an example for that.
Any ideas for help?
Using layers will be an easier option.
You can abuse the cut-n-paste module
(http://github.com/adityam/cut-n-paste) to add pagenumbers in an easy way.
\definenumber[whatever]
\unexpanded\def\PAGENUMBER%
{\incrementnumber[whatever]%
\getnumber[whatever]}
\usemodule[cut-n-paste]
\starttext
\processcutNpaste
[%option=test,
text={Page~\PAGENUMBER},
location={(OverlayWidth/2, 1cm)},
name=file]
\stoptext
Here name=filename that you want to include.
The text is placed by metapost, so the location parameter must be some
dimension that metapost understands, and the lowerleft corner is origin.
Uncomment option=test to get a grid to measure stuff.
If you have to include many pdf files, you can do
\defincutNpaste[PageNumber][...] %options
\processPageNumber[name=file1]
\processPageNumber[name=file2]
etc.

Re: [NTG-context] dorecurse in table

The following code does what I want:

Table and expansion are tricky. The error is caused by the last \HL and
goes away if you add another line.
But if you only want four horizontal lines, why not use \thinrules
\thinrules[n=4]
That is what I want. I have now defined the following much simpler
macro:
\def\GetComment[#1]{
\blank
#1\par
\thinrules[n=4]
\blank
}
and I call it with:
\GetComment[What was the most useful for you?]

[NTG-context] Macros for paper feedback form
I am trying to make a set of macros for a paper feedback form. The
first part is:
\setuplayout
[backspace=20mm,footer=5mm,header=5mm,height=middle,margin=1cm,topspace=0mm,width=middle]
\setupindenting[yes,none]
\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage[nl]
\setupbodyfont[roman, 12pt]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setupoutput[pdf]
\def\CheckBoxes[#1,#2]%
{\blank
#1\par
\processcommalist[#2]\doCheckBoxes
\blank
\crlf
}
\def\doCheckBoxes#1%
{\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #1\par
}
\def\GetComment[#1]{
\blank
#1\par
\thinrules[n=4]
\blank
\crlf
}
\def\Title[#1]{
\par
\startalignment[center]
{\switchtobodyfont[18pt]\bf\em#1}
\stopalignment
\blank
}
But I would like to have also a macro for the following:
{\bf Contact gegevens:}
\setupfillinrules[width=3cm]
\fillinrules{Bedrijf:}
\fillinrules{Naam:}
\fillinrules{Adres:}
\fillinrules{PC Woonplaats:}
\fillinrules{E-mail}
\fillinrules{Telefoon:}
\fillinrules{GSM:}
\blank
\crlf
The biggest problem is that the width is dependent on the longest text
that is given here. In this case PC Woonplaats. Is there a smart way
to calculate the right value?
Another problem is that the distance between lines with fillinrules is
about twice as big as with normal lines. How can I get the distance
the same as with normal lines?

or is that also possible with your way?
