Place an annotation before it is defined

Place an annotation before it is defined

[Marco Patzer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 790 bytes --]

Hi,

what is the best solution to place the content of annotations before
they are defined in the text? What comes to mind is writing the
content into an external file and read it in the next run. But maybe
I overcomplicate things (usually I do) and there's a simpler
solution. Here's an example:

\usemodule
  [annotation]

\defineannotation
  [myannotation]

\setupannotation
  [myannotation]
  [alternative=myalternative]

\defineannotationalternative
  [myalternative]
  [renderingsetup=annotation:myalternative]

\startsetups [annotation:myalternative]
  Content: \placeannotationcontent
\stopsetups

\starttext

%% The annotation content should be placed here.

\input ward \blank

%% Although it is defined later
\startmyannotation
  \input knuth
\stopmyannotation

\stoptext

That’s not possible because the content is stored only in memory and is therefore only available after you put the environment in your document.

What you can do is to set the content of the environment at the begin of the document and refer to it at a later position like you can do with buffers.

\usemodule[annotation]

\defineannotation[test][method=buffer,text=Test]

\starttest[one]
\input knuth
\stoptest

\starttest[two]
\input ward
\stoptest

\starttext

\gettest[two][title=Ward]

\gettest[one][title=Knuth]

\stoptext

Buffers apparently can't be used before the content is defined, but
it works for blocks (I never used them). Test:

\defineblock [bar]

\starttext

buf: \getbuffer[foo]
BBBBBBBBBBB

\startbuffer[foo]
buf: AAAAAAAAAAA
\stopbuffer

\useblocks [bar]
DDDDDDDDDDD

\beginbar
block: CCCCCCCCCCC
\endbar

\stoptext

Is there a reason why the blocks favour begin/end instead of
start/stop? Looks weird somehow.

Nice, I didn't know the “method” key.

Blocks, in contrast to buffers, seem to be able to place content
before it is defined. I did not check how they work, but since I
didn't see any temporary files, the only possibility is to write the
data to the tuc file, I assume. It is by any chance possible to
provide a “method=block”?

Blocks use begin/end to allow the same name for the environment as other commands, e.g. for exams:

\defineblock[question]
\defineblock[answer]

\hideblocks[answer]

\defineenumeration[question]
\defineenumeration[answer]

\starttext

\chapter{Questions} % Show only the question blocks

\beginquestion
\startquestion
First question.

\endquestion

(1) nicer symmetry checks (matching begin/end start/stop)
(2) more visible in complex docs
(3) it was first needed for \beginquestion \startquestion ... 
\stopquestion \endquestion

etc

Yes, blocks are stored in the tux-file while buffers are only stored in memory.

I played for a while with \setdataset to store the content but dropped it because
it required multiple runs and especially in the first run the output would be always
wrong because no content is available but I can consider it as a optional method.

That's no problem IMO. Two-pass data is always wrong the first run.
In the worst case, it needs an additional run if text moves around
too much. But since it's just another method, which is optional,
this only applies if it's activated and then the user knows what
he/she is doing and that it might be slower.

> I can consider it as a optional method.

I think it would be a nice feature. It enables placement of elements
where they logically belong, instead of where they are supposed to
be printed. It's nothing mission critical though, but you can keep
it in mind for a rainy afternoon.

The example wasn’t tested and I’m not even sure if everything is correct
because I haven’t used the commands since a while.

You can try the beta from my bitbucket site [0] which uses a two mechanism
for named buffers (\startannotation[<NAME>] … \stopannotation) which can
be accessed with \getannotation[<NAME>].

It doesn't work for me:

\usemodule        [annotation]
\defineannotation [myannotation]

\starttext

aaaaa
\getannotation [foo]
bbbbb

\startmyannotation [foo]
  ANNOTATION
\stopmyannotation

\stoptext

results in

aaaaa
bbbbb
ANNOTATION

Furthermore

\usemodule        [annotation]
\defineannotation [myannotation]
\setupannotation  [myannotation] [alternative=paragraph]

\starttext
  \startmyannotation
  \stopmyannotation
\stoptext

results in

<+ t-annotation.lua>)
! Undefined control sequence.

[…]

\540>:way ->\sharedcounterparameter
                                    \c!way

Use

\defineannotation[myannotation][method=buffer]

to disable the output from \startmyannotation … \stopmyannotation.

You need \getmyannotation[foo].

No idea where this comes from because there is no command with this name in the current version of the module.

Do you have the following block at the begin of t-annoation.mkvi?

%D \module
%D   [     file=t-annotation,
%D      version=2013.01.10,
%D        title=\CONTEXT\ User Module,
%D     subtitle=Annotations,
%D       author=Wolfgang Schuster,
%D         date=\currentdate,
%D    copyright=Wolfgang Schuster,
%D      license=GNU General Public License]

It works perfectly, though I don't have much to test it with, except
one document. Future will show. Thanks a lot for implementing this.

Ignore it! For some reason mercurial said “Nothing to update” and
let me believe I was using the new version but, in fact kept using
the old one.
