Hi Thomas,
I use the following code that puts a (vertical) list into the left margin.
The present topic is highlighted.
You will need to modify your list with before=,after=, etc.
Maybe this can give you some ideas.
Alan
I use it as follows:
\def\MarkPage{4} % first 3 slides are title, introduction and outline...
I then put this whenever I want to begin a new topic.
\Topic [A new topic]
\definelist [MyTopics] [criterium=all]
\setuplist [MyTopics]
[pagenumber=no,alternative=command,command=\FancyEntry,interaction=all]
\setupinteraction [state=start,color=,contrastcolor=]
\def\MarkPage{0}
\def\MyMark{}
\def\Topic{\dosingleargument\doTopic}
\def\doTopic[#1]{\def\MyMark{#1}\writetolist[MyTopics]{}{#1}}
\define[3]\FancyEntry {
\framed[width=2.5cm,align={right,nothyphenated},frame=off,offset=0pt]
{\doifelse \rawstructurelistsecond \MyMark
{\color [simpleslides:contrastcolor] {\switchtobodyfont [12pt]#2\par}}
{\color [simpleslides:altcontrastcolor] {\switchtobodyfont [12pt]#2\par}}
\blank [small]}
}
\setuptexttexts[margin][\ifnum\realpageno>\MarkPage\vbox{\placelist[MyTopics]}\fi][]
