side figure and typing

side figure and typing

[jimarin]

Hi all !

let us imagine we have defined the following command:

\def\SideFigure#1#2#3#4#5%
  {
    \placefigure[#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[#3][width=#4\makeupwidth]}
    #5
  }

which can be used to put a figure aside a companion text...

but, what happens if the text is to be typed... ??

I guess this won't work:

\SideFigure{right}{pack2}{../figures/tcltk/pack2.jpg}{0.25}
{
\starttyping
pack .ok .cancel .help -side top
\stoptyping
}

How can I make it to work?

thanks !

hm, you could just omit #5 and it would probably work

otherwise you would need to do do a multi step like:

\def\XXX#1#2#3#4%
   {\begingroup
    \obeylines\doXXX{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}}

\long\def\doXXX#1#2#3#4#5%
  {\place....[]{}{}\scantokens{#5}}

or so (untested and probably not correct)

Hi,

If you place the 5th parameter in a buffer, it works with the following 
version of ConTeXt and pdfTeX.

pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2)
ConTeXt  ver: 2004.6.30 (beta)

\startbuffer[test]
\starttyping
pack .ok .cancel .help -side top
\stoptyping
\stopbuffer

\starttext

\SideFigure{right}{pack2}{figure.jpg}{0.25}
{
\getbuffer[test]
}

\stoptext


kind regards Willi
