Re: A couple more...

[David Arnold]

Hans,

I have two modes, "letter" and "screen," which are in envrionment1.tex. The
file context-matrices uses envrionment1.tex. So, I gave this coupling thing
a try. In my "letter" mode, I put

\coupledocument
 [alternative]
 [context-matrices-s]
 [section,subsection]
 [Matrices in Matlab]

\setuphead
 [section,subsection]
 [file=alternative]
\stopmode

and compiled with

texexec --pdf --mode=letter --suffix="-p" context-matrices

Then, in my "screen" mode, I put

\coupledocument
 [alternative]
 [context-matrices-p]
 [section,subsection]
 [Matrices in Matlab]

\setuphead
 [section,subsection]
 [file=alternative]

and compiled with

texexec --pdf --mode=screen --suffix="-s" context-matrices

This results in two files: context-matrices-p and context-matrices-s.
Clicking on a section or subsection header in context-matrices-s.pdf takes
me right to the same position in the file context-matrices-p.pdf. However,
the reverse does not work. Clicking on a section or subsection header in
context-matrices-p.pdf always takes me to the title page in
context-matrices-s.pdf.

Any suggestions?

Finally, while we are on this topic, I'd like to use the same environment
for many different activities, with names like matrices, vectors, etc. Will
I have to set up this coupling in each individual document, or is there a
way that I can do it in my envrionment file that will work with all my files?

Hi David, 

>Any suggestions?

You need an extra run. The refs are only known afterwards, so 

run p run s run p

Also, you need to turn interaction on in both docs.

No, but you may try: 

[\jobname-s]

and 

[\jobname-p]

There is a far more advanced method. 

Say that you have a screen version and a paper one. You can crosslink them.
In the screen version you say: 

\coupledocument
  [alternative]
  [doc-let]
  [chapter,section,subsection]
  [The Alternative Version]

\setuphead
  [chapter,section,subsection]
  [file=alternative]

and the paper version you use [doc-scr] instead, given that you have both
those files. Run them a couple of times and you will notice that you can
click on titles and go from screen to paper annd vise versa. 

In a similar fashion, you can automatically print subranges, say chapters
only, without the need to fill in pages in the print screen.

Say: 

\setupsubpagenumbering
  [way=bychapter,
   state=start]

\useJSscripts[fil]

Now you can make a button:  

\goto{Print Chapter}[PrintSubPages]

and voila, another small secret uncovered.

A couple more...

[David Arnold]

All,

I can use Exchange to disable printing of the screen document. But I would
like to have a button in the screen document menu entitled "print."
However, it would not print the screen document. Rather, it would print the
document created with my "letter" mode (call it doc.print.pdf). How can I
create such a button in the menu of my screen document? Is there a way to
default it? For example, when the "print" button is pushed, the document
filename is read (say it's doc.pdf) and then the file doc.print.pdf is
printed. Possible?
