[NTG-context] Last attempt: numbered margin notes in ConTeXt?
Hey friendly helpers, I see, this list is one for experts and programmers, less for simple users. But given that there is no list for beginners of ConTeXt, I make my last attempt to get help in the following problem: How to create _numbered_ margin notes in ConTeXt? I have already spent some week of my disposable time to that problem without success. I attach an example file as pdf, created in several attempts with OpenOffice-writer, with spare success and giving up after the 14th note on this half-page. But it can illustrate what I want and need: - Margin(al) notes, numbered/referenced like footnotes, preferably in the wider right margin of the page. - Each margin note possibly on the same line with the referenced word/ expression in the text body which shall be translated/explained => if possible, i. e. if this place is not yet occupied by a foregoing margin note for a word or phrase in the same or a former line. - In the latter case, the margin note shall be typeset _below_ the former margin note (without printing one note on the other). Is there a way to setup/define the inmargin in the preamble of a ConTeXt document but then getting this result with a normal or (foregoing defined) command? Any other advice for to get this result? Or is it - for TeXnical reasons - not possible to achieve this result with reasonable effort in ConTeXt neither? I would be happy to get assistance (best the necessary commands/setup text) or any other advice to get the wanted result.

Re: [NTG-context] markup format ---> ConTeXt
First of all, thank you for your propositions, About markup format: ( a markdown header ;-) Markdown seems an interesting one because: - it's alive (as many other format) - it's available in severall scripting languages (ruby, php, python...) - it seems extensible - it is (more or less) translatable to docbook (and finaly to xxTeX) so allows good quality pdf results About docbook: -- But one current need is about docbook, because file already exists as a "dokuwiki hacked" generated file (by a php expert from jelix team) ! So other wiki format is not an option? docbook is request About the pandoc tools: --- Le 3 juin 08 à 16:09, Gour a écrit : > Take a look at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ - it uses 'extended' > markdown syntax and can export to ConTeXt. But Gour said alsewhere: > ...it doesn’t handle tables,... Interesting, but a first try didn't compile with macport (GHC didn't compile). But not important: was just for trying... About dblatex tools --- It just works for now but need LaTeX custom style for advanced customisation which is much lower level than ConTeXt one, so... About ConTeXt tools(THE important information ;-)) === Le 3 juin 08 à 15:11, Hans Hagen a écrit : >> If some magic command (or a simple tutorial) like : >> texexec --docbook jelix-manual.xml >> do some equivalent work than the above dblatex, no doubt that the >> ConTeXt community will increase by more than 100%! > > i can probably cook up a basic docbook converter in a couple of hours > but since i never run into docbook ... So instead of the "not in ConTeXt objective" expected response, this is a great news. For all (docbook + ConTeXt) tool maintainers like "dbcontext" or "DocbookInContext", it is a great opportunity to help Hans defining a standard module which would then be maintain in the standard ConTeXt distribution.
