some equivalent of latex beamer \item<uncover@1>?

some equivalent of latex beamer \item<uncover@1>?

[Pau]

Hello,

I am trying to implement a similar effect to latex beamer's

\begin{itemize}
\item<uncover@1>
\item<uncover@2>
\item<uncover@3->
\end{itemize}

What'd be the equivalent/similar/better of that in ConTeXt?

thanks!

quite a horrible syntax

see s-pre-6* and s-pre-7* styles (often examples at the end)

Hello Hans,

thanks for your reply.

This is

Installed Packages
Name        : texlive-context
Arch        : i686
Version     : 2007
Release     : 56.fc14
Size        : 103 k
Repo        : installed
From repo   : fedora
Summary     : ConTeXt is a document preparation system based on TeX
URL         : http://tug.org/texlive/
License     : GPLv2 and BSD and Public Domain and LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and LPPL
Description : ConTeXt is a document preparation system based on TeX.

on fedora 14 (latest release).

It seems that texlive is not the latest what you have. I don't know
whether that makes a difference.

In any case, I only have these here:

deukalion(pts/101)| locate s-pre-6
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-60.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-61.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-62.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-63.tex

deukalion(pts/101)| locate s-pre-7

So, no s-pre-7*

In one of the 60 I have seen what seems to be what I asked for:

In s-pre-61.tex I see

\StartSteps

\startitemize
\item Mark Hollis   \FlushStep
\item Roger Waters  \FlushStep
\item David Gilmore \FlushStep
\item Peter Gabriel \FlushStep
\item Randy Newman  \FlushStep
\stopitemize

\StopSteps

Obviously I have to define Steps and I am using for my presentation pre-fuzzy

How could I add Step to pre-fuzzy?

I have looked into s-pre-61.tex to see whether I could get an idea (I
apologise for my ignorance).


However, I do not see the function defined in it and, when I tried to
run texexec on "exemple.tex", which uses it as

------------
\usemodule[s-pre-61]
\usemodule[amsl]
\useMPlibrary[txt]

\starttext

\Topic{And Some More}

\StartSteps

\startitemize
\item Mark Hollis   \FlushStep
\item Roger Waters  \FlushStep
\item David Gilmore \FlushStep
\item Peter Gabriel \FlushStep
\item Randy Newman  \FlushStep

Hello,

since I somehow managed to end up in the rpm dependence hell with a
broken "update" of texlive, I went and did a manual *full* install of
texlive 2010... still, I do not find more examples.

Could you enlighten my ignorance with a concise example?

thanks

To use the step-machanism you can load the file “pre-stepwise”, e.g.

\usemodule[pre-stepwise]

\starttext

\StartSteps

\startitemize
\item one \FlushStep
\item two \FlushStep
\item three \FlushStep
\stopitemize

\StopSteps

\stoptext

is enough. To add the function to “pre-fuzzy” you can try

\usemodule[pre-fuzzy,pre-stepwise]

\starttext
...
\stoptext

Re: some equivalent of latex beamer \item<uncover@1>?

[Pau]

Dear Wolfgang,

thanks a lot for your clear and detailed example.

However I seem to be missing the pre-stepwise module and I do not understand why

I have followed step by step this

http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html

and everything has worked just fine. As a matter of fact

deukalion(pts/113)| texexec --check | grep source
TeXExec | context source date: 2010.05.24 13:05

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't texlive supposed to give me a full
working recent version of all of context and its modules?

thanks for everything

You need the file “s-pre-60.tex” (or “s-pre-60.mkii|mkiv”), “pre-stepwise” is
just a synonym for this file.

Modules are updated but context itself will always stay the same version
till the next texlive version because mkiv needs always a certain luatex
version and mkii is frozen.

Re: some equivalent of latex beamer \item<uncover@1>?

[Pau]

Thanks to Wolfgang's (seemingly infinite amount of!!) patience, I have
managed to get this one running.

I have one question, though.

Has anybody been successful at running any other software than
acroread for pdf documents which require javascript functions such as
in this example?

This should probably go to a different thread but, since it is the
first time I run into this snag, it kind of makes sense to have it
stick to the Steps function problem I had

Thanks to everybody for your help, context and everything!

Apart from JavaScript-based mechanism somebody used to write t-rsteps
module long time ago:
    http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-rsteps
which creates multiple slides instead of using JavaScript (the same
way as Beamer does, but is probably more primitive).

It worked nicely (I used it several times), but I haven't tested it
recently, so I'm not sure if it still works fine with recent ConTeXt
versions.

It would be great if \StartSteps, \FlushStep, ... written by Hans
would also optionally support creating multiple slides for viewers
other than Acrobat.

Not in the short term, i might give it a try some day but I hate 
mechanisms that interfere with others in unpredictable ways as do such 
multiple page solutions (references, spacing etc) unless one sticks to 
predictable structure and wants to patch core macros for this kind of 
stuff which is not what I like. Also, I've never seen anyone do a 
presentation with another viewer.

I do presentations with evince, okular, or Apple's Preview when I'm on OS X. I avoid Adobe Reader as much as I can because it's incredibly bloated (more so at every new version), insists on taking over my operating system (almost impossible to keep it from checking for updates, helpfully "repairing" components and features that I have explicitly disabled), still doesn't autorefresh, and has uglier font rendering, especially in linux. So I don't like javascript solutions at all. 

For the problem at hand, maybe I'm naive, but here's my thoughts: would it be very hard to implement an alternative with layers? All we need for stepwise stuff to work would be 
- reset userpagenumber to current value
- collect everything on slide in layer X, add layer X + 1 on top of this.

Or is this too simplistic? 

Thomas

Ehm ... isn't that what s-pre-50 does already?

Best wishes,

Interesting.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out.

(It does lack some less important features like "only put this on
slide nr. 2", but the current functionality already covers most of
one's needs.)

Thanks again,

indeed, and that's about as far as was reasonable (haven't used it in 
years)

there are presentation styles that do that indeed and it works as long 
as you don't rely on multipass trickery like automatically generated 
tocs and so (some can be intercepted, some not) .. but it's long ago 
that i used them so there might be clever tricks at work there

I do. I never use Acrobat Reader.

I don't think adding JavaScript is a feasible solution. It's very unlikely to
be added to all PDF readers. I favour the multi page solution, since it works
in all readers without problems.
