What I need done in ConTeXt is something similar to what Boris presented at TUG 2015: http://tug.org/tug2015/abstracts/veytsman-access.txt In other words, the output should address different audiences. In my case, I want the full project to continue to contain editorial comments, or notes by the author. I am thinking of using both margin notes, and specially styled paragraphs (narrower, font change, etc.). Then depending on the target audience, reader or editor, the editorial comment could be included or not. Is there a recommended design pattern that I could use for this type of work? advTHANKSance. -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276 ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I am not sure I completely understand your question, but have a look at modes: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I think that modes will work nicely. To further explain my use case: I have a manuscript, which I would like to continue to evolve with editorial comments, suggestions, ideas for further development (some generated by the author, others by reviewers). At any given time the "text" of the document is lagging the editorial input. Revisions of the project are under "mercurial" source code control. The primary view of the document is to be a publication ready version, but in its draft form, the author's version should include the work-in-progress. Eventually, the editorial comments may diminish or be left for another day, and the work-in-progress will get incorporated into the main text. The "publication" view is useful if you have multiple people reviewing the book, and you don't want to proliferate the union of all editorial comments into the review copy. I wanted to capture this author-editor workflow under ConTeXt. I think modes will be just what I need. Thanks.
