[NTG-context] hierarchical modes
Hello, I need to prepare a document for different audiences. The question here is, how to encapsulate the different parts of the document. There are paragraphs which are public, some more which are internal and some which are private. People who are in the private group should see everything, the group internal only the public parts and the internal ones. As far as I see, modes are not additive. What would be the best way to structure such a document and to style the different paragraphs, so that the different audiences see, who can read what? Thanks in advance, __Janko Hauser ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] macro for api-documentation
Hello everyone, good morning europe, I want to generate an API-
documentation. For this I use a table (bTABLE) for every function
definition. That's a lot of code, which is in part dynamic (number of
rows for example depends on number of arguments). Here is a simple
example, but I will need colors and different fonts, different lines
between in/out and so on.
\startalignment[middle]
\midaligned{\ss
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD[nc=3] validateRegistration \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nr=3] \rotate[rotation=90]{Input} \eTD \bTD parameter1 \eTD
\bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 1 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nr=3] \rotate[rotation=90]{Output} \eTD \bTD parameter1
\eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 1 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD parameter2 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD parameter3 \eTD \bTD Beschreibung zu
Parameter 3 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE}
\stopalignment
Are there any examples to do this more generally or better approaches
to set this up?
With regards,
__Janko

But my main problem remains. With the \startcolumnset command I can not achive automatic balancing of columns. I looked through the code in context and learned, that there is the \startcolumns command wich can be given the [balance=yes] parameter. This works, but then I can not use the other nice features of the columnset environment. Further search in the code shows that the balance=yes is also present in the columnset environment, but it has no effect. Is this right, a missing feature or a malfunction? I can provide an example, if this should work, and I'm doing something wrong.

[NTG-context] style questions
Hello everybody,
Over the last days I started to write a Requirement document. I
started from the example documents provided at the fiee-site, which
are a big help. I use this as an exercise to see, what markup is
actually needed in the content, to transform from XML documents later
on.
First some things I already solved, but want to ask, if it was in the
right way.
1. I want to mark some words consistently and used the \definesynonyms
command for this, although I only use the second form.
\definesynonyms[glossar][explanation][\infull]
\glossar [ZOPE] {\em Zope} {Web Applikationsserver}
Is there a better way to style words consistently? I find it
difficult to distinguish between \ZOPE\ and \ZOPE, especially for
the possible later translation from XML.
2. In the example there is an indirection for the section definitions.
\definehead [Topic] [chapter]
\definehead [Nopic] [title]
Later on the newly defined headers are styled. But they are used as
the only headers throughout the document. So why not style the
original ones?
3. I have defined colored header bars in the following ways.
\setuphead
[subject, Subject,section]
[command=\mysec,
page=no,
continue=no,
style={\ss\bs},
color=black]
\def\mysec#1#2{\framed[width=\textwidth,
corner=round,
radius=0.05em,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=HKS5,
framecolor=HKS5]{\startnarrower[1*left,1*right] #2 \hfill #1
\stopnarrower}}
They are spanning the complete textwidth. What I now want is to
have a smaller textwidth, but the bars should remain broader, as
broad as the header and footer lines. Any hints?
4. How to deal with metadata, like author, version, last modified and
so. Would you recommend to use buffers for this? This information
is probably used on the title page and the footer of each page.
Ok, now a real question. I want to style the actual requirements in
form of a papercard, whith their actual status at the top. This would
be an new definition with 2 or 3 arguments. But the requirements
should also be enumerated. How can one build such an environment?
Derive somehow from \defineenumeration?
---
|ReqNbr | Title | status | date|
---
| longer text with paragraphs and pagebreaks |
---
Sorry for the ascii-art (cough :-). These cards should be able to span
more than one page. In the light of this a table with running heads
would also be an option, right?
Thanks for this great package, it is a lot of fun and full of gems.
TIA,
__Janko

So, is there any obstacle against using ConTeXt as customizable quality-typesetting backend for (readjusted/simplyfied) (X)HTML pages? What about power/complexity? How to style output? I think pdf from xhtml is a very good usecase for context. Although I wouldn't think to do it directly, but transform the xhtml somewhat to a context friendly xml. If you generate modern xhtml on your site, you will have most of the styling in css files and have mostly structural information in the xhtml. A tool can decide with the help of the css definitions in the tags which layout macros it should use. On the other side I do not think, that this approach is the equivilant to the print function of the modern browsers. __Janko Hauser ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] letter style
Hello, my name is Janko Hauser, I'm a new context user, after many years of LaTeX :-) I want to use context for two different projects. 1. Produce styled PDF documents from a web-content-managment-system. This will be web-page based but also complete sets of pages to generate longer documents. One conceptual idea is to have something like a clip-board of visited pages, which can be printed as one document. Ok, this Zope-based site will be an effort going into the next year. I mention it only for background for the coming questions in the next months. 2. I want to generate my invoice and business-letters with context. I searched the mailinglist but the only note I got was a reference to the last MAPS which should contain an article about this. Ah and Hans has mentioned that there is something in the making :-) Is there already something to look at? Does someone know a direct link to the mentioned MAPS-article? Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to using context. __Janko ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
