[NTG-context] New current context
Hi, Some (most?) of you will have noticed this already, but just in case: Hans released a new current context yesterday.

[NTG-context] presentation (simple-slides?) master-like feature?
I've been gravitating to a presentation system where I author presentations in markdown, and then convert them to an HTML-based system that results in examples like this: http://www.users.muohio.edu/darcusb/s6test/test.html This allows me to focus on content, but very quickly create high-quality slides. So I have a kind of default representation of a slide, but I also have a couple of CSS classes that I attach (via XSLT) to individual slides depending on the content. For example, if I have a title without any other text content, then I attach a title class to the slide, which renders the title larger, and vertical-centered on the page. If there's a single image, I attach a imgbig class, which floats the image to the background, and enlarges it to fill the slide. I would like to be able to do the same with PDF using ConTeXt, ideally using simple-slides. I know some styles have similar parameter options for things like image placement, but I'm not seeing anything equivalent for titles. Is this possible to add?

[NTG-context] filter contents of xml elements
Hi all,
First of all a big thank you to Hans for MkIV xml support which is so
much easier to understand than the MKII based method (or is that just
me?) Anyway, I'm processing a rather messy html file and I would like to
do some conditional processing based on the actual content of the
element. See example below: I have linked h3 with \subject but I would
like to drop this element if the content of the element matches 'Skip
title'.
Any hints? Thanks!
Jelle
\startbuffer[test]
html
h3Title 1/h3
pHello world./p
h3Skip title/h3
pHello world!/p
h3Title 2/h3
pHello world?/p
h3Title 3/h3
pHello :-)/p
/html
\stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:setups
\xmlsetsetup{main}{html|h3|p}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:setups}
\startxmlsetups xml:html
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:h3
\subject{\xmlflush{#1}} % but drop this if content of element is
'Skip Title'
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:p
\xmlflush{#1}\par
\stopxmlsetups
\starttext
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{}
\stoptext
Expected outcome:
Title 1
Hello world.
Hello world!
Title 2
Hello world?
Title 3
Hello :-)

The next does not deserve a price for elegance, but because
\xmlflush is expandable (this is its best feature, I think!)
you can use the traditional tex toolkit macros:

I'm fairly certain that there are nicer solutions, however.

OK; feel free to get back to me as time permits, here or off-list (I
don't often check this list).
but I just wanted to let
you know that I find your idea great. I had been thinking of adding an
xml template for simple presentations. your html-based stuff looks
gorgeous, so I would like to know more about it.
It's just a JQuery-based version of S5, called S6. My fork of it is here:
http://github.com/bdarcus/s6
The background image is just a simple, very small, SVG gradient.
I author in markdown, run the file through pandoc to convert to XHTML
(though any markdown processor will do), and then pipe it to an XSLT
that converts it into my (idiosyncratic) S6 XHTML.
And let us know what
exactly it is that you're missing in simple-slides.
Am looking to be able to (easily) do something vaguely like ...
\SlideTitle{Some Slide}[style=big-title]
.. where 'big-title' gets me the title large and centered
vertically on the page.
More generally, it's just the idea to be able to adept the
rendering on a per-page basis with a simple parameter (rather than
me having to figure out how to write lower-level code). It is
therefore conceptually analogous to the master slide feature you
see in apps like Keynote or PowerPoint.
Bruce
In theory, titles
are typeset in layers, so everything should be there.
All best

I also like this idea. In fact, it will not be too difficult to map these
to simple-slides. Basically
li class=slide title
h1Test Slide Show/h1
/li
should be translated to
\setupTitle[title=Test Slide Show,author=,date=]
\placeTitle
and
li class=slide
h1Hello/h1
ul
lione/li
litwo/li
/ul
/li
should be translated to
\SlideTitle{Hello}
\startitemize
\item one
\item two
\stopitemize
we currently do not have any specific environment for blockquote (but
Thomas and I have discussed adding something similar). The vanilla ConTeXt
equivalent \startblockquote ... \stopblockquote doesn't do anything fancy.
Finally,
li class=slide imgbig
h1Container Ships/h1
img src=filename.jpg /
/li
should be translated to
\IncludePicture[horizontal][filename.jpg]{Container Ships}
I do not know what is the best way to do these translations. ConTeXt can
also handle XML files, so it is just a matter of writing the translation
rules in ConTeXt. Or, if you prefer, you can write an XSLT transformation.

I use something similar in my presentations. For example, see pg 3 and 14
of http://pantheon.yale.edu/~am894/pub/talk/allerton-2009a.pdf
In my styles, I have a macro that takes care of this. I think that adding

Well, except that I want the option to have this sort of rendering
elsewhere in the presentation. I see you address that in a followup;
would love to see you add that macro.
This is just a modification of the Interlude macro
http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/creating-a-style-file-in-context/

\stopalignment

But this is ad-hoc. To integrate this with all styles, this macro
should have its own background and the user should be able to configure
the font, alignment, color, etc using a proper interface. So, that will
have to wait until Thomas and I have more time (basically, the end of
semester). However, as a stop-gap measure, the above should work. Just
translate

[NTG-context] pdfs with boxes instead of letters
When I open the pdfs that I make with ConTeXt (II or IV), I often see x'd out boxes instead of letters. I'm writing in the hopes that someone has some ideas about what I might do. Here is some more specific information about what happens 1. I have posted a jpeg of a representative page: http://carneades.pomona.edu/test/badpdf.jpg 2. The problem comes up when the pdf viewer is either Apple's Preview or Skim (which, as I understand it, uses the same basic code). This happens on machines with both OSX 10.4 PPC and 10.5 Intel. 3. It happens with a wide variety of fonts. 4. When opened with one of Adobe's pdf readers (Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro), the file always looks fine. 5. Opening and closing the file can make the problem parts change. So, for instance, opening and closing the file can make it so that roman letters show while italic letters are crossed boxes or vice versa. Usually, if I do this enough, I can get to a normal view with all letters looking like letters. 6. It started happening in the spring. (I've been hoping it would go away in the normal course of ConTeXt changes.) One obvious answer is just to use Adobe's software. That won't work for me because those programs cannot successfully send a file to either of the printers I have available here. (They also don't automatically update when a file changes, which is a nuisance.) So I have a dilemma. If I want to print, I have to use the Apple and Apple-derived software. If I want to see letters, I have to use the Adobe software. But I cannot do both. I doubt this is a ConTeXt specific problem, but hope there might be a solution through ConTeXt. More generally, I would be terrifically grateful for any ideas about what to do. Thank you for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] pdfs with boxes instead of letters
Hello, 3. It happens with a wide variety of fonts. 4. When opened with one of Adobe's pdf readers (Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro), the file always looks fine. That's extremely odd. Can you send a sample PDF file (along with the source code) for us to inspect it? I'm using Mac OS 10.5 on Intel, so I'd like to confirm the behaviour you report. 5. Opening and closing the file can make the problem parts change. So, for instance, opening and closing the file can make it so that roman letters show while italic letters are crossed boxes or vice versa. Usually, if I do this enough, I can get to a normal view with all letters looking like letters. That really doesn't make sense at all. Sounds like a problem with the Apple code analyzing the PDF file, but I've never observed such a bizarre behaviour myself, and I use mostly Preview on the Mac to view PDFs.

I have posted a jpeg of a representative page: http://carneades.pomona.edu/test/badpdf.jpg 2. The problem comes up when the pdf viewer is either Apple's Preview or Skim (which, as I understand it, uses the same basic code). This happens on machines with both OSX 10.4 PPC and 10.5 Intel. 3.

Usually, if I do this enough, I can get to a normal view with all letters looking like letters. 6. It started happening in the spring. (I've been hoping it would go away in the normal course of ConTeXt changes.) One obvious answer is just to use Adobe's software. That won't work for me because those programs cannot successfully send a file to either of the printers I have available here. (They also don't automatically update when a file changes, which is a nuisance.) So I have a dilemma. If I want to print, I have to use the Apple and Apple-derived software. If I want to see letters, I have to use the Adobe software. But I cannot do both. I doubt this is a ConTeXt specific problem, but hope there might be a solution through ConTeXt. More generally, I would be terrifically grateful for any ideas about what to do. Thank you for your time. I don't know, and I have not a Mac either.

Re: [NTG-context] pdfs with boxes instead of letters
Extremely odd, doesn't make any sense, bizarre ... that's pretty much what I think. The pdf that I took a picture of and the source that produced it are in a zip file at this address: http://carneades.pomona.edu/test/badpdf-source.zip If you're willing to have a look, that would be great. It looks ok in my lunux box with xpdf, acroread 9 , evince, kghostview -- luigi ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
