RE: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?
This mini-survey is an excellent idea! What I do with ConTeXt: 1. Produce sales and marketing reports for my customers (we are a marketing and data mining consultancy). We have a very simple templating language written in Python that connects to an SQL database, generates the ConTeXt file, launchs ConTeXt and launchs Acrobat Reader to see the PDF file. 2. Produce totally personalized mailings for customers of companies we work for. Eveything is personalized: text, background, photos, etc. We produce it with the same templating solution (see previous point). We think ConTeXt is the perfect solution with regard to our needs (reporting and mailing). From our point of view, it has only two drawbacks: - The integration of new True Type fonts is a difficult and error prone process. One need to choose the appropriate encoding, create a .tfm file and write a map file. In order to simplify this, a future version of ConTeXt could natively use Unicode (no more need to choose an encoding) and could automatically create .tfm file on demand. - Absolute positionning is difficult. There is too many way to achieve the same result, difficult to understand, and the resulting code is very verbose. But I'm a beginner with ConTeXt! ;-) Thanks for your beautiful work on ConTeXt!

decided if PDFs are the right medium for that kind of text.
I also typeset my masters thesis using ConTeXt and probably spent as much
time hacking ConTeXt as I did on doing actual work for the content. Not
because ConTeXt couldnt do what I wanted, but because ConTeXt allowed me to
do anything I wanted. Having a lot of options can be time-consuming, as you
want to try them all before deciding on the one that works best. This is
both the good and the bad thing about ConTeXt. You can tweak and tweak and
tweak, whereas with something like LaTeX you have a few boring designs and
you just choose the one that suits the type of document your writing. And
your document will look like five million other research papers outh there.
I wanted something unique and ConTeXt was just the right tool for it.

Dear gang,
I am having difficulties with heading placement. Consider the following sample
file:

% output=pdf interface=en
\setuppapersize [A5][A4]
\setuplayout[width=middle,
height=middle,
footer=3\bodyfontsize,

\chapter{Ch. Knuth Knuth}
\section{Sec. Knuth Knuth}
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par\ }

This file should compile fine.
Problem 1:
I would like the headings in the footer to be flush with the top of the footer
space instead of at the bottom;
Problem 2:
After making the footer headings flush with the top of the footer space, I
would now like to mid-align the headings so each is just above the page number
in the footer space (I thought this would be trivial but it's apparently not);
Problem 3:
I would like to have marginal headings: how do I
i) keep the headings boxed within the margin width;
ii) raise (or lower) the box containing the margin headings?
Thnx in advance for helping me solve these problems!

Hi everybody,
I wish to set up kind of a learning path (= pedagogic progression
bar, like in http://www.dokeos.com/scorm_compliant_course_content.php)
/.../
Sorry for not being clear enough.
learning path is an acronym I've found while using Dokeos elearning
platform, as an equivalent to a course i guess. For creating a
course/learning path you assemble differents documents in a l.p.. When
the alumni/trainee reads this course, he will be able what he have to
read next after the fisrt doc, and so on. I've made a graphic capture of
the webpage for showing what elements are making a learning path in the
Dokeos vision : list of doc allready readen, docs to read, progression
bar, plus the breadcrumb trail;
for lists of already learnt documents: you can make a list of
chapters/sections/subsections somewhere on the page if you have enough
place. If you would like to get the chapter/section/subsection name,
you can get them with something like
\getmarking[chapter] $$ \getmarking[section] $$ \getmarking[subsection]
Perhaps some ifs are missing to check if a section/subsection is
defined, but someone else has to help you with it.
i don't want to put so much stuff in the pdfs made wit Context(apart
putting an A4 text on an A3 page!) because i keep a printable A4 format
for my courses, even i there interaction in it, for screen usage.
I'm not sure if I understood it properly, but if you need two
different versions of your documents with the same content, but
different layout, you can use modes
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes).
So i wish to have only vertical progression bars + percentage in the
inner margin. s-pre-01 original style show a bottom interaction bar
filled with pagenumbers drawn as little rectangles. Maybe it's possible
to draw a continuous bar with metapost, but for percentage ?
Ideally, i wish to have 2 progression bars : one for project progression
and second for product prog.
How would you calculate the project progression? The example below
calculates the percentage out of the number of pages in the current
document.
Here's an example how to make an extremely simple and ugly progression
bar at the bottom of the page. Take a look into the .mp file produced.
You'll find many other variables thay you may use to position your
progression bar properly.
\defineoverlay
[ProgressBar A]
[\useMPgraphic{ProgressBarA}]
\setupbackgrounds
[text]
[background={ProgressBar A}]
\startuseMPgraphic{ProgressBarA}
barW = 5cm;
barH = .7cm;
StartPage;
fill unitsquare xyscaled(barW*(PageNumber/NOfPages),barH)
withcolor .625red;
draw unitsquare xyscaled(barW,barH);
label.rt(textext($ decimal(round(100*PageNumber/NOfPages))
\,\%$), (barW,.5barH));
currentpicture := currentpicture shifted
(LeftMarginWidth+LeftMarginDistance,2cm);
StopPage;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
first page\page
second page\page
third page
\stoptext
I would suggest you to get familiar with metapost/metafun (learning
metapost by doing, the metapost manual, metafun manual, ...) if
you aren't yet. It's a simple and great programming/drawing language
and you can do amazing things with it.
Mojca
PS: just a note. Trying to execute the code written above under MikTeX
(on the old ;) ConTeXt version, 2005.08.31) leads to distrous
results and nothing worked as expected. It claims
\loadfontfileoncetrue to be undefined command, it complains about file
endings (it doesn't create .mpx files, so the label(textext ...)
doesn't work) ... and so on. It may be that something is wrongly
configured here, but I'm glad that I'm able to use the minimal ConTeXt
distr. as an alternative when something fails under MikTeX.
Hi Mojca,
Thanks a lot for your mp code, I got what i want but rightnow, I don't
know how to use it exactly, maybe as follows attached (try to display a
general progression thru advancement of each courses, and show on the
same pane (inner margin)), list of each chapters.
I'll try to cook a minimal but working example, as I got -- in a messy
way -- almost everything for bring this new layout to life.

Since it's too late to fix that ...

I can add them to the context zip if needed. [cm mapping is needed for (1) math fonts and (2) including files that already have cm files; the context distribution has a file original-public-lm.map that -i hope- does an efficient inclusion -- has to do with pdftex being able to determins shared fonts] In any case, keep an eye on it when you install the coming tex live and miss chars.
