Re: [NTG-context] Presentation help
Thanks, all works out nicely. So, I have another problem. According
to my friend, every good presentation should highlight the current
section in the table of contents. So I defined this:
#v+
\def\mycontext#1{%
\edef\stringa{\fetchmark[section][current]}
\edef\stringb{#1}
\strut
\ifx\stringa\stringb
\color[red]{#1}
\else
#1
\fi
}
#v-
This works with
\mycontext{a subject}
and even
\mycontext{\fetchmark[section][current]}
but doesn't work with placelist[section] with this setup:
#v+
\setuplist[section][criterium=all,
symbol=none,
numbercommand=$\bullet$,
textcommand=\mycontext,
pagenumber=no,
width=\baselineskip]
#v-
I think it's because textcommand gets more then just the text as
parameter. But there is no deeptextcommand in setuplist.

Re: [NTG-context] Presentation help
Yes, it turns out, this was somehow my fault. I had spaces in my
section titles, and somehow this doesn't turn out right. Anyways,
with this command:
#v+
\def\mycontext#1{
\edef\stringa{\ignorespaces\fetchmark[section][current]}
\edef\stringb{\ignorespaces#1}
\strut\ifx\stringa\stringb
\color[red]{#1}
\else
#1
\fi}
#v-
I get it right even with spaces in them. But this doesn't work if I
have an exclamation mark in a section title -- I don't say it's a good
idea to have an exclamation mark in the section title, but... Is
there any way to solve this?
cu, Adam.

[NTG-context] Presentation help
So, I showed ConTeXt to a friend of mine. He said he wanted to try it
and now -- well, you don't want to know how he swears :). We're
trying to do a presentation...
Anyways, I'm trying to help him... But I (we) have some problems:
I managed to write something like this (it's never been so hard to
write a newline!):
#v+
\startsetups{myhead}
\vbox{%
\getmarking[sectionnumber]\crlf\getmarking[section]\par
\hskip12pt\getmarking[subsectionnumber]\crlf\getmarking[subsection]}
\stopsetups
\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[\setups{myhead}][pagenumber]
#v-
That does, what it should: display section and subsection atop of each
other. So, but now, he wants to have an Introduction, which should
show up in the header but without a number. I tried \subject but
\getmarking[section] only returns the section, not the subject (I
thought they were interlinked somehow, but...). So, is there any way
to do this apart from \ifx\getmarking[sectionnumber]{-1} or so?
Next question: is it possbible to align the text of, well, text,
i.e. the body text, vertically centered on every page?
\setupbackgrounds won't work here. On a side note: why does it have
an align-parameter, then?
This one is a bonus for me: can someone point me in a direction
where to start to build a progress meter? beamerstyle has a nice
template where it shows the section as text and the subsections as
open dots (all of them) with the current subsection as a filled dot.
Well, that would be all, thanks for listening,
Adam.

\startfrontmatter
\section{...}
\stopfrontmatter
will provide a mark but not number; so ... provide extra structure

because it inherits from \framed
\setupmakeup[standard][headerstate=start,align=middle]
\startstandardmakeup
\input tufte
\stopstandardmakeup
