Re: [NTG-context] \page[+2]
Thanks, Matthias and Hans, for the tip about \page[+2]. I have not yet studied a ConTeXt presentation (read, slides) macros, so it may well be that that use is very practical. (In any of the slides packages I know in LaTeX, it certainly would be.) As for Hans's suggestion, that it might be used to create two empty pages, say again I think it's great - it would be better yet if the functionality \page[-2] existed to erase the last two pages, say ;-) Thanks again, elena ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] \page[+2]
Dear All: This is like going to school: every evening I study a very narrow topic in ConTeXt, the idea being Si va piano, si va lontano (go slow and you'll get far). So last night I was to study cross-references, and that was simple enough EXCEPT... I could not come up with a practical application for \page[+2] or \page[-2]. I understand the concept (I think): it is two pages ahead, or two pages back, relative to the current page. But could anyone tell me in what context (sorry for the pun) would that be used? I must be missing something. How could I possibly know what's on page current + 2 or current - 2 unless I compile, in which case the notation would be equivalent to inserting cross-references manually? As I said, I am missing something, but what. Thanks in advance, elena ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

In presentations, when the answer for a question always appears on the next page, and the next question appears two pages further down?

Well, i know Chi va piano, va sano e lontano, chi va forte va alla morte, something as One who goes slowly goes safely and far; one who goes quickly will die But also, today Chi va piano, va sano e lontano, ma arriva dopo! One who goes slowly goes safely and far, but he come after! It's an italian proverb:there are two syllable rimes in 'NO' and 'TE', i.e. Chi va piaNO va saNO e lontaNO ,pause chi va forTE va alla morTE. luigi ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
