Slides and notes

Slides and notes

[Fabrice Popineau]

I'm wondering if anybody has already tackled the problem of printing
slides together with notes. Is there any generic mechanism that could be
applied to presentation styles in ConTeXt to achieve this ?

I use the modes mechanism (\startmode, \stopmode and friends) and I am
lacking imagination as to want more.

Something like :

\startslide

\stopslide

\startnote

\stopnote

together with modes screen and handout that would either generate 
only slides or print them like this :

------------------------
| ----------           |
| |        |   notes   |
| |        |   notes   |
| |        |           |
| |        |           |
| ----------           |
|                      |
| ----------           |
| |        |   notes   |
| |        |   notes   |
| |        |           |
| |        |           |
| ----------           |

you can try the following:

%%%% annotate.tex

% output=pdftex interface=en

% beware, page comments are buffers !

\setupcolors[state=start]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]

\starttext

\startbuffer

\input tufte

\startpagecomment
   \input knuth
\stoppagecomment

\page

\input knuth

\startpagecomment
   \input tufte
\stoppagecomment

\page

\input douglas

\startpagecomment
   \input douglas
\stoppagecomment

\page

\input ward

\startpagecomment
   \input ward
\stoppagecomment

\page

\stopbuffer

\setuppagecomment[state=start,location=right]   \getbuffer
\setuppagecomment[state=start,location=bottom]  \getbuffer
\setuppagecomment[state=start,location=left]    \getbuffer
\setuppagecomment[state=start,location=top]     \getbuffer

\stoptext

%%%%% present.tex

\setuppapersize
   [A4][A4] % [A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout
   [header=0pt, footer=1cm,
    backspace=1cm, topspace=1cm,
    width=middle, height=middle]

\setupfootertexts
   [presentation\space---\space
    \currentdate\space---\space
    \pagenumber]

\starttext

   \combinepages[annotate][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]

\stoptext
