interaction menu like NTG bibliography

interaction menu like NTG bibliography

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

I try to get an interaction menu at the bottom like in the NTG bibliography.
I know I must use "command=\but something", but I don't know how.
And I know that the code below is ugly redundant... (Hints, please)

------

\setuplist
  [Topic]
  [alternative=f,
  interaction=all,
  before=, after=,
  frame=off]

\setupinteractionmenu[bottom]
  [background=color,
   backgroundcolor=InteractionColor,
   style=\ss\tfxx\bf,
   color=BackgroundColor, contrastcolor=ContrastColor,
   frame=off,
   offset=0pt,
   before=,
   after=,
   samepage=empty, unknownreference=empty,
   height=\bottomheight]

\startinteractionmenu[bottom] 
  \placelist
    [Topic]
    [background=color,
     backgroundcolor=BackgroundColor,
     criterium=all,
     alternative=f,
     style=\ss\tfxx\bf,
     interaction=all,
     height=\bottomheight,
     command=\but, % <---------------------- ???
     frame=off,
     before=,
     after=]
  \hfill
  \setupinteractionmenu
    [bottom]
    [height=\bottomheight] 
  \but [CloseDocument] Ende \\
\stopinteractionmenu

----------------

Grüßlis vom Hraban!

i assume that you enable menus with \setupinteraction

actually, it's easire than that. First of all, the alternatives >d give you 
tocs more suitable for interactive documents, however, if you run a recent 
version (whicg you do) you can say

   alternative=bottom

(don't set command=\but; \command would have to be a command that handles 3 
agrs, while \but is of a different kind)

So, the bottom (or more general: menu identifier) alternative will give you 
what yoy want
