Subject: Room for comment on the backside of form
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:26:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vd6h4u46.fsf@linux-lqcw.site> (raw)

I am still trying to make a useful environment for paper feedback
forms. One thing I am trying to do now, is to but lines on the back
for when someone needs more space to give the feedback. For this I
made the following macro:
    \def\PageWithComment[#1]{
      \page
      #1
      \crlf\crlf
      \thinrules[n=35,inbetween=\vskip1.5ex]
      \page
    }

There are several needed optimisations.
For starters the number of lines is hard coded. Is there a way to
calculate them?

At the moment it is always called with:
    \PageWithComment[Room for extra comments]

What is the best way to set a default? Because most of the time it
will all the time be the same value.

With this setup the pagination has to be done completely manually. Not
very handy. Is there a way that when a new page is generated, the
comment page is inserted before the new page? And also after the last?

An example:
    http://decebal.nl/ConTeXt/sources/feedback-form
and the pdf:
    http://decebal.nl/ConTeXt/sources/feedback-form.pdf
