I don't use it. ;-)

I use Pablo's solution to convert to ConTeXt.

https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context

It adds an additional layer of xml to the process but it suits exactly
my needs (book production).

[NTG-context] ConTeXt on android via "debian noroot"-App

[Thomas Klein]

Hello ConTeXt-Crew,

thank you very much for this fantastic application. I'm a former LaTeX-user
and now I can't imagine to go back ever.

Recently I tried to install ConTeXt in an android smartphone with help of
the app "debian noroot". Everything went fine and I'm able to compile
documents, but all \framed-Commands lead to the error-message

"tex error on line 2 in file...: !You can't use '\hrule' here except with
leaders"

The minimal example is:

\starttext
\framed{Hello}
\stoptext

I suspect the cause for this might be missing packages (metapost?). Can you
give me any hint, what packages I have to install? I installed the ConTeXt
Standalone from contextgarden and I'm running context version 2016.01.18
22:21 (ConTeXt Process Management 0.63). I already tried to install the
package texlive-metapost, but it didn't help.

Help would highly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Thomas Klein.

Hello,

I have just checked that my first post to this list was more than
10yrs ago (end of 2002). Then I was working on some full-sized books
and ended up with LyX/LaTex. Later, had few attempts to switch to
ConTeXt, but as a result I reduced even my LyX/LaTeX usage and was
using light markups like rst/AsciiDoc for my writing needs without
higher-quality typesetting.

Yesterday I had to help my wife to put together some medicine-related
presentation for the meeting at her working place and used LyX/LaTeX
with Beamer class.

Considering that there might be need to do such thing more often in
the future as well as possibility that I might have to produce lot of
presentations for my public lectures/workshops based on philosophy
(iow. no need of math), I am again in the position to consider
ConTeXt, but this time mostly for presentations.

I'm (well) aware of ConTeXt's advantage in the sense of being complete
package without clashing of different packages which usually happens
in LaTeX world, I wonder if someone can give some piece of advice to
learn and/or switch ConTeXt for preparing presentations instead of
learning lot of LaTeX packages?

How does ConTeXt compare for the purpose vs LaTeX/Beamer?

I'm on Linux (running Debian Sid) and use Vim as my primary editor so
wonder if ConTeXt users recommend to e.g. prepare drafts of their
documents like rst/AsciiDoc/markdown and then convert them into
ConTeXt with tool(s) like Pandoc?


Beamer presentations look like ... beamer presentations.

For something simple using ConTeXt, you might want to look at the
simpleslides module. That could be a starting point.

I usually find too simple and prefer rst/AsciiDoc, but will try that as
well. Still, wonder how do you like Pandoc's ability to convert to
ConTeXt?

Also, Org-mode, which has markup similar to Markdown (but better), and
can export to a variety of formats (including Beamer and e.g. reveal.js;
unfortunately, there's no ConTeXt support, but adding it is a questions
of a few hours of simple Emacs Lisp hacking).

I heard reports of Vim-ers switching to Emacs because of Org.  Turn to
the dark side, we have cookies!!!  Bwahahaha!

(Side note: despite jokes, I have a high respect for Vim.  Its UI is
plain genius, even if I do not like it personally.  The idea of "text
objects" and operations on them is really great.  I even use hjkl for
movement when coding in Elisp, using abo-abo's "lispy" package.  The
main advantage of Emacs over Vim is not the UI, but the hackability.
Also, E & V have different basic assumptions: Vim is much closer to the
Unix philosophy, while Emacs does a similar thing, but not on the OS
level, but within itself.  IOW, Vim is built on top of Unix, and Emacs
largely "replaces" it.)

Many thanks for your reply again, Ibn.

I’m afraid this is something different of what I intend to ask here (in
fact, I use \setupinteraction in my docments too).

I guess \definehead is what I should be using.

No, the makeup environment is the right mechanism. You can combine this
with the \setvariables command and create the title page when you set 
the values.


\definemakeup[titlepage][align=middle]

\startsetups[titlepage]
\startmakeup[titlepage]
\startfont[SansBold sa 3]
\getvariable{titlepage}{title}
\stopfont
\stopmakeup
\stopsetups

\setvariable{titlepage}{set}{\texsetup{titlepage}}

\starttext

\setvariables[titlepage][title=Titlepages for dummies]

\stoptext

Hi,

just a small maintenance update (everything was broken) for the drops
module. Should be working again with the latest versions of ImageMagick

Files (version 2016-01-18) can be found here [the zip file also contains
the documentation (drops.pdf)]

As others have mentioned, beamer presentations look like beamer 
presentations. One of the things that I like is that it is relatively easy 
to create the look that you want.


Once you think about it a bit, presentations are no different than regular 
documents. You can get a reasonable looking presentation by just changing 
a few defaults:


https://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/creating-a-clean-presentation-style-in-40-commits/

I would recommend creating your own style for simple presentations and 
slowly add bells and whistles.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt vs Beamer

[Jeong Dal]

Dear Saša Janiška,

I’d like tell you about my case.
I have used Beamer long time ago, but now I am using ConTeXt + Simpleslides 
module for my presentations.
There are already many given templates. 
You can find them in the doc of simple slides.(…../tex/texmf-modules/doc/…)
However we  can make our own template if we want. 
Although I am not an expert, I made my own template by modifying the given 
templates.

I think that ‘animation module’ is also a good module for presentation.
Using it, we can make the presentation more interesting.

I hope that you got what you want by using ConTeXt.

Best regards, 

Dalyoung
