[NTG-context] Impacts Project: Two-Page Spread
Hi all! Pleased to share with you a new two-page spread of the Impacts project: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts-dual.pdf Best viewed in "Dual" (or "Even Spreads") mode. Compare with the original single-page spread: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf If you'd like a hard-copy, please sign up at: https://impacts.to/ The document is written in pandoc-flavoured markdown. ConTeXt, TeX, and Lua code are used to accomplish various stylish feats: * Page setup (bleed, margins, text safe zones) * Override page flushing for columnsets * Timeline indicator line based on section heading numeric text value * Lua converts annotated Markdown to an inline image ConTeXt macro * Clipped background images for pixel-perfect two-page spread * Custom global counter to enumerate illustrations in TeX Annotations will be explained in Part 8 of the Typesetting Markdown series: https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/ Feedback on any of this is very welcome and, again, thank you for all the support over the years. Cheers! ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Impacts Project
Hi list! Thank you for helping to answer so many questions and remove so many roadblocks with my project. The result is a photobook written in Markdown, piped through pandoc to generate ConTeXt code, then stylized using a series of .tex files. The coolest ConTeX part, IMO, is the orange dot in the timeline. Using MetaPost, the date for the timeline is read directly from the document, then plotted relative to the \overlaywidth. Changing the date in the Markdown document winds up repositioning the timeline dot automagically. https://impacts.to/ The book is going to be released under a CC BY 4.0 license, including all the source code necessary to generate the book. Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in nabbing a copy of the PDF, let me know (preferably via the web form). Again, my sincerest gratitude, this project would have been a much more time-consuming and arduous journey without your generous help. ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
