Hello,
I am trying to implement a similar effect to latex beamer's
\begin{itemize}
\item<uncover@1>
\item<uncover@2>
\item<uncover@3->
\end{itemize}
What'd be the equivalent/similar/better of that in ConTeXt?
thanks!

This should probably go to a different thread but, since it is the first time I run into this snag, it kind of makes sense to have it stick to the Steps function problem I had Thanks to everybody for your help, context and everything!

To use the step-machanism you can load the file “pre-stepwise”, e.g. \usemodule[pre-stepwise] \starttext \StartSteps \startitemize \item one \FlushStep \item two \FlushStep \item three \FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stoptext is enough.

Modules are updated but context itself will always stay the same version till the next texlive version because mkiv needs always a certain luatex version and mkii is frozen.

Apart from JavaScript-based mechanism somebody used to write t-rsteps module long time ago: http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-rsteps which creates multiple slides instead of using JavaScript (the same way as Beamer does, but is probably more primitive). It worked nicely (I used it several times), but I haven't tested it recently, so I'm not sure if it still works fine with recent ConTeXt versions. It would be great if \StartSteps, \FlushStep, ... written by Hans would also optionally support creating multiple slides for viewers other than Acrobat.

Not in the short term, i might give it a try some day but I hate mechanisms that interfere with others in unpredictable ways as do such multiple page solutions (references, spacing etc) unless one sticks to predictable structure and wants to patch core macros for this kind of stuff which is not what I like. Also, I've never seen anyone do a presentation with another viewer.

I avoid Adobe Reader as much as I can because it's incredibly bloated (more so at every new version), insists on taking over my operating system (almost impossible to keep it from checking for updates, helpfully "repairing" components and features that I have explicitly disabled), still doesn't autorefresh, and has uglier font rendering, especially in linux.

All we need for stepwise stuff to work would be - reset userpagenumber to current value - collect everything on slide in layer X, add layer X + 1 on top of this. Or is this too simplistic?

(It does lack some less important features like "only put this on slide nr. 2", but the current functionality already covers most of one's needs.) Thanks again, Mojca PS: I won't blame myself for not knowing the file was there if not even Hans remembered :) :) :) ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

It's very unlikely to be added to all PDF readers. I favour the multi page solution, since it works in all readers without problems.
