Re: [NTG-context] References to floats.

Dear list,
Presently I am working on a book that contains many musical examples, some of
them rather large (even page-filling). It is difficult to predict where they
will finally be placed, at least when I do not want to spoil the layout too
much by forcing every example to be placed at the point where it occurs in the
.tex-file.
So when dicussing an example I always refer to it with \in{ex.}{ref} and
\at{page}[ref].
Sometimes however the example is placed at the same page as the text discussing
it.
Is there any trick to adapt the reference to this situation, so that, instead of saying, for instance, ex. 3.4 on
page 12, it just says ex. 3.4, or ex. 3.4 below or even ex. 3.4 on this page?
(One imagines that in the last stage of typesetting the file ConTeXt knows
that the reference and the referenced float will be on the same page, but I have no clue
how I could use this knowledge.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
you can try \atpage[ref]

Re: [NTG-context] Complexeslide module
Hi, Thanks for the different answers. It sure looks very promising… Beamer like?? No. Much better :) In all honesty, it is much more limited than Beamer. actual state, roadmap... You can follow the code at bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/adityam/complexslides/overview It still seems to be in a very early stage. But the ideas look very promising. Thomas and I have been discussing how to modularize the simpleslides module for almost two years now, complex slides incorporates some of those ideas but some details are still missing. I do use the module for my presentations, but it does not have all the features needed for Thomas's presentations. So, it is in extremely preliminary stage and the interface and the backend are bound to change. It is for that reason that I have not released it. There is no fixed roadmap. This is a very time comsuming project, and Thomas and I work on it when we get some time or an itch to scratch. So, right now there is no roadmap for release. We will be releasing parts of the module as they are ready. The first part is the visual counter module https://github.com/adityam/visualcounter which is ready to be released one I finish the documentation: https://github.com/adityam/visualcounter/blob/master/visualcounter.tex I also have a backgrounds module in mind, which will be a collection of different frame backgrounds. This can be combined with Wolfgang's annotation module to have a more flexible implementation of the beamer block environment. -- Romain Diss romain.d...@yahoo.fr ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

A question for Yusuke: what script name should we use?
More (simple) examples are needed in order to get all relations between
categories done (so, currently we still use a copy of chinese but with
already a few japanese specific inter-character issues done).

Re: [NTG-context] Asian Language Support
Hi, Hans,
Tnank you for your quick try.
I will respond to you this evening (in your timezone, this afternoon),
because I don't have so much time to write sth in this morning.

I am writing documents in English/Japanese.
If you want to include English text, you probably need to define your
own typescript (or use simplefonts), because most Japanese fonts have
terrible Latin fonts...
I can probably help you, if you tell me what exactly you need.
If you're just typesetting Japanese text, you will need
\setscript[hanzi] to enable linebreaks...
And the rest is done by Unicode magic: just type away between \starttext
and \stoptext
I uploaded a beta with preliminary Japanese script support.

Re: [NTG-context] Metapost/Metafun Q: using variables and building blocks?

Yes, I've seen it, had to watch the whole thing, it is so fascinating. If I ever decide to invest in such a machine, it'll be an expensive one that allows me to digitize my own graphics (not just ready-made sets), preferably as vectors. In which case doing *that* isn't so much of a challenge any more. I've coveted one of those for a while, but currently cannot justifty getting one, neither for fun nor for my tiny craft business as that one is concentrated on the pre-steam era. However, I'm planning to use MetaPost to create blackwork charts, I've got the feeling that it'll give me neater results than any existing software. And I won't be stuck with one OS, either. :-) Mari ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
