which is the best/right element for elements in cover and title pages?

which is the best/right element for elements in cover and title pages?

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have a template to generate book cover and title page for different
documents. A sample of the output may be found at
https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context/blob/master/doc/from-pandoc-to-context_A4.pdf
(first two printed pages).

Right now, their layout is hardcoded, such as for the title page
(minimal version):

    \starttitlepagemakeup
        \vfill

        {\itd\BookTitle}\par}\blank[big]
        {\resetbreakpoints\itb\setupinterlinespace
        \BookSubtitle']}\par}\blank[3*big]
        {\sc \TheAuthor}{\\}}

        \vfill
        \PublishingDate
        \vfill
        \Publisher
    \stoptitlepagemakeup

I want to be abole to customize this. But I don’t know which is the
right element for those items.

I mean, a head would be meaningless here for book title, subtitle,
author, publisher and release date. They appear only once in the document.

Which is the right element for those items?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Ibn.

I use a makeup for the title pages (in fact \startitlepage could be
written as \startmakeup[titlepage]).

I mean the individual information such as title, subtitle, author, and
so on.

Hi Pablo,

I wanted just to congratulate you for the nice manual you have written… I don’t know Pandoc and what it can be used for, but after seeing your manual I willing to learn about it!

Best regards: OK

Take a look at \setupinteraction

Syntax :
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupinteraction

Examples here:

Many thanks for your reply again, Ibn.

I’m afraid this is something different of what I intend to ask here (in
fact, I use \setupinteraction in my docments too).

I guess \definehead is what I should be using.

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

No, the makeup environment is the right mechanism. You can combine this
with the \setvariables command and create the title page when you set 
the values.

\definemakeup[titlepage][align=middle]

\startsetups[titlepage]
     \startmakeup[titlepage]
         \startfont[SansBold sa 3]
             \getvariable{titlepage}{title}
         \stopfont
     \stopmakeup
\stopsetups

\setvariable{titlepage}{set}{\texsetup{titlepage}}

\starttext

\setvariables[titlepage][title=Titlepages for dummies]

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply. Wolfgang.

Once again (or as always), you are right: this is the way to do it.

Many thanks for your help,
