streams not working?

streams not working?

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get some poems in a bilingual document using streams.

According to the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Streams),
this example should work:

\usemodule[streams]
\def\StartCouple{\page\SwitchToNormal}
\def\StopCouple{\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\FlushLeftAndRight}
\def\Original{\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft}
\def\Translation{\SwitchToRight}
\starttext
\StartCouple
\Original\en
Are you sleeping, brother John?
\Translation\de
Bruder Jakob, schläfst du noch?
\StopCouple
\stottext

But I get this error:

l.19 \defineoutputstream
                         [\v!left]
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1
Compilation failed.

The example at http://source.contextgarden.net/m-streams.tex (referenced
by the wiki page) doesn't work for me either. This is all Greek to me.

What am I missing here?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

You don’t need the module to use streams, read this older message:

Many thanks for your answer, Wolfgang.

As the reply to that message
(http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/063358.html), I wonder how
could I get facing chapters with Greek text with facing pages containing
the Spanish translation.

I'm afraid that the code you provided is too complex for me (I don't
understand a word there).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
