Many thanks for your reply, Ibn.

I use a makeup for the title pages (in fact \startitlepage could be
written as \startmakeup[titlepage]).

I mean the individual information such as title, subtitle, author, and
so on.

For the sake of completeness, have a look at Pandoc, which produces
presentations from simple markdown sources in various formats including
beamer and some nice looking html based presentations.

Hi Pablo,

I wanted just to congratulate you for the nice manual you have written… I don’t 
know Pandoc and what it can be used for, but after seeing your manual I willing 
to learn about it!

In the "Manual" and in "Getting started" there is no mention of the new
startchapter command, which is mentioned on the wiki as a replacement of
the old \chapter command.

I know that \chapter is working just fine, but when the new command is
startstopchapter it would be nice to read about it.

You can set the counter for the enumeration with

[NTG-context] ConTeXt vs Beamer

[Saša Janiška]

Hello,

I have just checked that my first post to this list was more than 10yrs
ago (end of 2002). Then I was working on some full-sized books and ended
up with LyX/LaTex. Later, had few attempts to switch to ConTeXt, but as
a result I reduced even my LyX/LaTeX usage and was using light markups
like rst/AsciiDoc for my writing needs without higher-quality
typesetting.

Yesterday I had to help my wife to put together some medicine-related
presentation for the meeting at her working place and used LyX/LaTeX
with Beamer class.

Considering that there might be need to do such thing more often in the
future as well as possibility that I might have to produce lot of
presentations for my public lectures/workshops based on philosophy (iow.
 no need of math), I am again in the position to consider ConTeXt, but
this time mostly for presentations.

I'm (well) aware of ConTeXt's advantage in the sense of being complete
package without clashing of different packages which usually happens in
LaTeX world, I wonder if someone can give some piece of advice to learn
and/or switch ConTeXt for preparing presentations instead of learning
lot of LaTeX packages?

How does ConTeXt compare for the purpose vs LaTeX/Beamer?

I'm on Linux (running Debian Sid) and use Vim as my primary editor so
wonder if ConTeXt users recommend to e.g. prepare drafts of their
documents like rst/AsciiDoc/markdown and then convert them into ConTeXt
with tool(s) like Pandoc?


Sincerely,
Gour

Documentation is an ongoing project... we discuss this regularly at the
ConTeXt users meetings and make great resolutions about completing and
updating it all. As Hans and Wolfgang point out, quite a lot of
documentation is available on the Pragma website and more and more
documentation is being included in the distribution. There are ongoing
efforts to update older documents and new documents are being written.

We will definitely discuss this some more at the next meeting.

Great to hear that a sprint is planned.

I am not sure what kind of abstract I should send to Alan. If a sprint
is planned we could setup a sprint planning etherpad somewhere an add
items there so that participants can choose an item to work on.

Great, for me this system would be the first place to look up commands

Beamer presentations look like ... beamer presentations.

For something simple using ConTeXt, you might want to look at the
simpleslides module. That could be a starting point.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt vs Beamer

[Otared Kavian]

Hi,

I have been using Context for all my presentations for many years and I think 
it is easier to use than any Latex package, since out of the box I can add 
pictures, menus, graphs of functions, etc.

Now, depending on the complexity of what one wants to do, it would be more or 
less easy to use such and such features.
A good start is to begin with the examples set up by Hans and by Aditya and 
Thomas Schmitz.
The examples by Hans are in the directory

/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkiv

of your Context installation, and begin with s-pre-, followed by digits and 
mkii or mkiv suffix.
The examples by Aditya and Thomas are to be found in 

/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simpleslides

Bets regards: OK

[NTG-context] which is the best/right element for elements in cover and title pages?

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have a template to generate book cover and title page for different
documents. A sample of the output may be found at
https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context/blob/master/doc/from-pandoc-to-context_A4.pdf
(first two printed pages).

Right now, their layout is hardcoded, such as for the title page
(minimal version):

\starttitlepagemakeup
\vfill

{\itd\BookTitle}\par}\blank[big]
{\resetbreakpoints\itb\setupinterlinespace
\BookSubtitle']}\par}\blank[3*big]
{\sc \TheAuthor}{\\}}

\vfill
\PublishingDate
\vfill
\Publisher
\stoptitlepagemakeup

I want to be abole to customize this. But I don’t know which is the
right element for those items.

I mean, a head would be meaningless here for book title, subtitle,
author, publisher and release date. They appear only once in the document.

Which is the right element for those items?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Or like presentations given from The One Editor:

I used ConTeXt once for a presentation, and then came back to Beamer.
Not necessarily because it's better, but I know it quite well, so
I could prepare my slides faster.  (Also, Emacs support for LaTeX and/or
Beamer is better than for ConTeXt.)

So I don't have a lot of experience with ConTeXt, but I'll risk an
opinion: if you're fine with a simple presentation without much
learning, or more learning for a sophisticated presentation, consider
ConTeXt.  If you don't mind a bit boring look (which some consider an
advantage) and/or you want just to copy a template from the docs (even
for a bit more sophisticated stuff), try Beamer.

Also, you might want to switch to a decent text editor.  ;-P

Hth,

Dear Wolfgang,

I see.
I think that the other options: menu, menu color, framerate are enough for me.

Thank you.

[Fabrice Couvreur]

Dear Wolfgang and Jeong,
Sorry for the noise! I simply make a copy and paste the code without
reading because
the subject of the question interested me.
This works perfectly correcting the errors reported by Wolfgang.
With Evince or Xpdf is impossible to play the movie, but with Acroread yes.
thank you,
Fabrice
