At the end of his article on "TeX as presentation tool" in MAPS 23, Hans
describes how to use the \presentationstep macro. I wrote a toy example to try
it, but the resulting document does not exhibit the expected behaviour, i.e.
nothing is covered. Interestingly, the last line of output from texexec was
`b/e error in : step'; step.tex being the name of my input file.
Finally, Acrobat4 displays the following message when the document is opened:
There was an error opening this document.
There was a problem reading this document (14).
I would be grateful to hear if anyone else has experienced this, and even more grateful if someone would suggest how I might correct it.
Cheers,
Michael
P.S. For completeness sake, here is the text of my toy example:
% interface=en
\usemodule[pre-01]
\usemodule[pre-general]
\autopresentationsteptrue
\TitlePage {Slowly We Turn}
\Topic {presentationstep}
\startitemize
\item moe
\item larry
\item curly-joe
\stopitemize
\presentationstep
\startformula
x+5y+10z+25u+50v=100
\stopformula
\presentationstep
\stoptext

That's due to your missing \starttext

Hm. When you use texexec, after multiple runs (to sort our object refs btw)
the file should be pretty valid.

I wrote this step hack for taco some time ago. It should be hooked into the
styles more comfortable yet.
% interface=en
\usemodule[pre-green]
\definereference
[Whatever][JS(NextPresentation{\realfolio})]
\setupbackgrounds
[text][text]
[background=TextBackground,backgroundoffset=3pt,]
\setupframedtexts
[presentationshield]
[background=color,backgroundcolor=Page]
\enablepresentationstep \autopresentationsteptrue
\starttext
\TitlePage {Slowly We Turn}
\Topic {presentationstep}
\startitemize
\item moe
\item larry
\item curly-joe
\stopitemize
\startformula
x+5y+10z+25u+50v=100
\stopformula
\stoptext
This should work with your beta. The define and set will go into the style,
since the idea is that you say:
texexec --mode=step % or autostep
and get the functionality (modes are just pieces of conditional code). I
have to redefine the styles a bit and give the step thing a separate layer
in the background.
I never thought that anyone would use this stepper -)
