slideshow and iso-latin2

slideshow and iso-latin2

[Piotr Kopszak]

Hello, 

I was wondering,  if there is any simple command  or option that would
allow creation  of an automatic slideshow, by  displaying pages and/or
overlays  for a  specified  time?  This could  probably  be done  with
JavaScript, but maybe there's a ConTeXt way to do it.

Another,  quite  different,  problem  with iso-latin2  encoded  source
files: following the procedure  outlined in mtexexec.pdf I wasn't able
to  get  proper  characters   nor  hyphenation.  I  tried  to  include
information about encoding both in  the file itself and on the command
line,  but in vain.  In the  end I  got all  Polish characters  when I
converted  the file  to  TeX  encoding, but  still  there's no  Polish
hyphenation. 

All Best

Piotr

\setupinteractionscreen[option=max,delay=2]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setuppagetransitions[random]

should do the job

page transitions are broken in acro 5 (and/or depend on preferences)

(while testing this i found out that my version does a wrong reset (i moved 
around some resources code); after correcting this: acro 4 works, acro 5 
only first page, acroreader 5 nothing)

can you fetch the latest beta, there has been some corrections to pl 
encodings and polish patterns are loaded twice (pl and ec encoding)

[does the log report polish patterns as being loaded?]
