small new feature on the wiki

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi there,

since there might be some users here who edit pages on the wiki and
who don't read the 'recent changes' page:

you can now say

<context source="yes" text="produces">
\your \TeX \code=here
</context>

this will typeset the source with the <texcode>....</texcode>
highlighter/formatter, then output the (optional) text 'produces', and
finally renders the already known graphical representation of the
source. This way you only have to enter the code once (less errors).
Special thanks to Jano Kula for this.

Example at 

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Right_and_left

very nice 

btw, we should start thinking of a proper export so that one can typeset a wiki page

Patrick,
  This is great for creating new code as well as editing existing one. 
However, is it possible to change the width of the image that is 
created. I fine the default A4 paper width to be too large and 
ususally add a
\setuplayout[width=13cm]
in the context code. Is it possible to do this with the new feature?

If we agree on a common page size, I could easily put it in there. If
we don't agree on one, I could perhaps say <context source="..."
width="13cm">. This would take a few more minutes to implement (I
still have to implement that the source and the results are next to
each other (left/right).)

I also suggest scaling down to approximately 0.7 (70%). It's difficult
to tell the exact size, but it's nice if the example fits on 800(?)
pixel wide screen. I have a bad feeling for what the width should be
since I feel claustrophobic on anything below 1200 pixels anyway.

Mm, I'd have misgivings about scaling down any more: a lot of detail 
gets hard to see with the renders, especially with the default LM.

I think that it this is better. <context ... width="13cm"> or <context 
... scale="0.8"> will give enough flexibility.
