things I do when I get bored...

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello out there,



... are not what I am going to announce here.



But, you can -- if you are brave -- try out the new-on-the-www port of
texshow, the ConTeXt command browser. As a bonus, comments can be added
to the commands (as in etexshow), but since you are not alone on the
www, you can share and enjoy! One day I will add a section for
examples. You can then share your favorite examples with all the
other ConTeXt users out there.

Here is the url:

http://members.ping.de:8061/

at http://levana.de/context/texshow-web.html you get forwarded to the
whatever is the current location of texshow-web. The current location
will move some day to a place yet unknown.

I am brave.  This looks very nice!

It reminds me of something I've been wondering for a while, though.
Why are certain commands, like startitemize, absent from the list of
texshow commands? 

Is there a way to add commands to the web version?

Thanks.

because the provided list is not perfect yet. \startitemize is a
generated command from \defineitemgroup. So the command to lookup is
\startitemgroup. 

In my opinion there should be a link from \startitemize to
\startitemgroup, because \startitemize is in the core ConTeXt.

\section for example is (iirc) also generated, but listed in texshow.

Not yet. texshow-web will provide an interface soon.

I am thinking about a textarea on the html pages so you can upload
something like:

  <cd:command name="dosetuppageview">
    <cd:sequence>
      <cd:string value="dosetuppageview"/>
    <cd:/sequence>
    <cd:arguments>
      <cd:keywords>
	<cd:constant type="standard"/>
	<cd:constant type="width"/>
	<cd:constant type="height"/>
	<cd:constant type="unknown"/>
      <cd:/keywords>
    <cd:/arguments>
  <cd:/command>

I'll also provide an relax NG schema for this. (The data I get from
Hans is in the same format.)

This looks indeed nice and promising, its fast and may be a good solution 
for beginners and literates.
Most valuable will be descriptions and examples. I added just the first 
example... \translate

Great! I am making backups on a daily base now. Good examples can
make life a bit easier. I feel it frustrating to know that a certain
thing will be the right thing for me but I don't how to use it.

Yes, it\'s great!
It would be nice to have a short description for each command - I know, there is the documentation from Hans - but it would be comfortable to have the description in texshow.

There are still some bugs in the webserver. Once in a while it just
dies. I keep an eye on it and try to get it stable. Right now it
should work.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello Pattrick,

good idea! As a beginner I am very interested in examples.

No suggestions but a hint:
I tried to open http://members.ping.de:8061/
but nothing happend. For some minutes the browser successles tried
to load the page.
