Re: [NTG-context] [OT] suggestion for books on (typo)graphic design

I will start a course on graphic communication. The students are ground-zero programmers, all on mac, so I would like to use Nodebox (http://nodebox.net/). (Unluckily no time/space to introduce ConTeXt). I will focus on data visualization, so I was considering to adopt Tufte's classic The Visual Display etc. I've still not read Envisioning Information and Visual Explanations. Any ideas? I will have also to introduce basic elements of graphic communication (e.g. fonts, page composition, color usage etc). Suggestions? You may want to ask this question at tufte.com You will probably also find some references in the books you site. Also at the Tufte lecture there is a recommended reading list handout. There should be a copy online.

A guess for hyperlinks. Try \setupinteraction[state=start]. That worked!!! Thanks. I will have to browse through the documentation for the various options.

Can you update the wiki page on how to get a working cweb file using
ConTeXt?
i didn't join this discussion but the complication of web code is that
it defines all those one char commands and such
it would be nice to have a variant of cweb that spits out more verbose
commands, so that we don't need to push/pop definitions and get rid of
interference
That would be extremely useful.
I am using cweb to document code for embedded systems. I like to use
single character macros to typeset component reference designators and
electrical parameters. I use macro calls like:
For components --- \R{1}, \C{23}, \L{43}
For voltages and currents --- \V{1}, \I{1} etc.
For dimensions --- \F (farads), \S (seconds), \H (henries), etc.
Since your here Is there any chance of getting the cweb file that was
used to generate cweb-scr.pdf? I like the format and was hoping to do
something similar with my programs.
Thanks.

I'm really interesting about WEB, so I would like to produce something analogous for WEB too. Do youn know leo ? http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html I have not used leo. For editing tasks I default to my old friend --- EMACS ;-) Whether editing C for an MSP430 or Coldfire chip, Perl, TeX (and friends) or SQL I use the same tool. For cweb editing I have been using multiple-major-mode (mmm) so that TeX and cweb are colorized appropriately.

[NTG-context] Using context with cweave

@** Hello.

@header files@@;
int main(void) {
printf(Hello World.\n);
return(0);
}
@ Header files.
@header files@+=

.
If I run pdftex hello.tex a correct pdf file is output.
Are there other modules that I need to load to use ConTeXt with a cweave
file? Is there a documentation file that I missed? I am using he ConTeXt that
came with texlive-2007.
If there is a cweave file that produces a nice layout like
cweb-scr.pdf available
for download please let me know.
Thanks.
