Re: [NTG-context] slightly OT: tablets
Hi Thomas, Sometimes ago I asked a related question about TeX, iPhone and electronic books, as far as reading mathematical and technical papers are concerned. But now that the iPad is out your question makes even more sense. I don't have yet an iPad but found the following after reading your message: Ramón Figueroa-Centeno announces here http://macosx-tex.576846.n2.nabble.com/LaTeX-on-the-iPad-using-TeXShop-Engines-td5075337.html that he has written a few scripts, named LaTeXMe, to remotely typeset a TeX file and download the resulting PDF to his iPad. I think that it won't be difficult to modify the scripts in order to use ConTeXt and LuaTeX (somehow creating a ConTeXtMe script…). You can find Ramón Figueroa-Centeno's files here: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ramonf/TeXShop/LaTeXMe.zip I must say that I have not tested the scripts but there is a PDF file explaining the principles behind. In any case I think that at some point Apple needs to port some sort of Mac OS X on the iPad for the academia to be able to use the iPad as a computer for an everyday workflow.

[NTG-context] component key for \framed
Hi Hans,
the 'component' for \framed does not work, looking at the source reveals
that it can be used to hide the framed content in the document by
disabling the corresponding pdf layer but the following example shows
there is no layer for the frame.
\showlayoutcomponents
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\setlayoutcomponentattribute{text}{wolf}\hbox
\layoutcomponentboxattribute \bgroup wolf\egroup

Otared, Hans, William, and all, thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions; there's a lot of useful info in this thread!

But I could imagine that it would be a useful device for presenting stuff that has been prepared on a real computer. So I'll wait a bit and see if interesting apps turn up!

it only kicks in when there is a background (performance issue)

it's mostly meant as a debugging aid
