Hello,
Shortly:
I would like modify the meaning of "previous/next page" buttons in
interaction menu to point to the previous/next slide instead on the
previous/next physical page. And I would like to number pages according
to slides instead of considering physical pages.
***********************************************************************
And here's a more detailed description:
I use the "rsteps" module (by David Munger) for my presentation.
I also use the interaction menu:
\startinteractionmenu[bottom]
...
\but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\
\but [lastpage] \symbol[lastpage] \\
...
\but [CloseDocument] \symbol[CloseDocument] \\
\stopinteractionmenu
Instead of
\but [previouspage] \symbol[previouspage] \\
\but [nextpage] \symbol[nextpage] \\
pointing on the previous and next slide, I would like these two buttons
to have slightly different functionality: pointing to the LAST step of
the previous/next slide.
Apart from that, I would like to keep the page number on different steps
of the same slide. I would use this number to print it in footer and to
call it from Metafun (PageNumber, NOfPages or a similar name, as in
meta-ini.tex).
Here's the idea of how the presentation should look like. In the table
below there's a:
- real page number (in pdf document),
- slide number (= same content gradually growing),
- step on slide,
- page number as it should be printed in footer and made accessible to
metapost if needed,
- real page number where the "Previous" button should point to,
- real page number where the "Next" button should point to
1 - titlepage
2 - slide 1, step 1 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 3
3 - slide 1, step 2 - page 1 - < [titlepage] > 6
4 - slide 2, step 1 - page 2 - < 3 > 6
5 - slide 2, step 2 - page 2 - < 3 > 6
6 - slide 2, step 3 - page 2 - < 3 > 7
7 - slide 3, step 1 - page 3 - < 6 > 10
8 - slide 4, step 1 - page 4 - < 7 > 10
9 - slide 4, step 2 - page 4 - < 7 > 10
0 - slide 4, step 3 - page 4 - < 7 > [none/self]
I'm interested in the result on the first place, not so much on the
mechanism that would "automatically recognize a new page and place
everything as desired", so I don't mind if I have to (type)set anything
manually. For example, it is no problem if I have to say
\StartSteps[title]
\thisIsANewSlideSoPlaceANewPageNumberInFooterAndLetMetafunKnowIfSheAsksForIt
...
\OnlyStep[3]{\thePrevAndNextButtonsHaveToStopOnThisPage}
...
\StopSteps
Thank you very much for your help,
Mojca Miklavec

one option is to use subpage numbers (grep for that in s-pre*)
another option is to use the available stepper (pre-60),
you can try that one with:
texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61
\StartSteps
.... \FlushStep
.... \FlushStep
\StopSteps
