In Latex, \fancybreak was part of a package called, I believe,
fancyheader or fancypage. It produced a break frequently seen in
published prose (I'm currently reading {\em Bluebeard} where Kurt
Vonnegut uses it liberally) with significant vertical space between
two paragraphs and, centered both in that vertical space as well as
horizontally, a number of well-spaced marks. There are usually 3
marks, and they are frequently asterisks or traditional
dingbats/fleurons. This sort of break is generally used when the
author wishes to indicate a break more significant than a change in
paragraph but short of an outright new chapter.

[NTG-context] Indents, enumerations, and modes (mk2+mk4)
Dear all,
I have two questions regarding using spacing in enumerations.
Depending on a mode being enabled, I would like to add a command at
the beginning of
an enumeration (I want to place something in the margin, but it
doesn't actually matter what I do, only when).
As shown in the minimal example below, invoking the macro that does
something, a little extra space is added.
I don't know why, it is probably something very TeX-basic I am
ignorant of. So: How do I get rid of the extra space?
The problem occurs both in mk2 and mk4, I would prefer a solution that
also works in mk2.
Thanks!
Matthias

Re: [NTG-context] Strange expansion behavior in XML/luatex
I see,
and for the single case it works. Also saving is fine, I am using it.
Unfortunately, my example was too reduced :-). In fact, I have a problem
with more complex documents, for example, think about:
Some caption
Text.
Now, if I want not to only typeset a caption, but also to store it and
reuse it later (typeset it twice, e.g. in the marging or elsewhere in
the page, ...), it fails (on \processaction, \doif, ...).
So, if I understand, there is a way to modify my XML template to be safe
during expanding -- I would use self unexpandable macros). Another way
is problematic, as \edef inside \edef causes problems? Is it true or
there is some other way?
Thank you,
Martin

effectively you as for:
\starttext
\edef\content{\processaction[x][something=>A thing, nothing=>Hic
sunt leones]}
\stoptext
and that will not work; ok, we could make processaction unexpandable
but i'm sure that you want something different
you can save the content this way:
\edef\content{#1}
and do this later on:
\xmlflush{\content}

[NTG-context] BibLaTeX
I frequently use LaTeX with BibLaTeX and the BibLaTeX-Chicago Style package to typeset scholarly material. For me, BibLaTeX is a great tool. However, I am attracted to ConTeXt because, coming from a desktop-publishing background, ConTeXt gives me more/easier control over document layout and structure. Thus I began to dream of a "chocolate + peanut butter" combination of the two. I would like to know if anyone has thoughts on the possibility of using BibLaTeX & Biber with ConTeXt -- perhaps through a wrapper module of some kind? I don't understand the internals of LaTeX or ConTeXt well enough to know if this is a ridiculous question. I respect the ConTeXt Bib module, but BibLaTeX-Chicago offers exactly what I'm looking for. Both BibLaTeX and ConTeXt use e-TeX, and the internals of BibLaTeX appear not to be LaTeX-specific. So, would it be possible to write a ConTeXt module that bypasses Bib and provides an interface between ConTeXt bibliography commands and BibLaTeX/Biber?

[NTG-context] Slides: uncover things piecewise
Hi,
I use the »simpleslides« module for a presentation and I wonder if it is
possible to uncover things piecewise. Take the following example:
\usemodule [simpleslides]
\starttext
\SlideTitle {My Topic}
\startitemize
\item First % Visible by default
\item Second % Gray by default
\item Third % Gray by default
\stopitemize
\stoptext
I want to achieve the following: The first item should be visible by
default. The second and third items are not visible or grayed out. The by
jumping to the (physically) next slide (for the audience it's still the
same page) the second item will be displayed and so on...
I've found some old pieces of code in the mail archive but didn't get it to
work.
Kind regards
Marco
