presentation in ConTeXt

presentation in ConTeXt

[정 달영]

Hi all,

It is my first mail to this list.
I am using XeTeX and XeTeX + ConTeXt environment for my most files for 
sometime. It worked fine and the output is really great.
I'd like to use it to create a presentation instead of using LaTeX + 
beamer.
I have seen many output samples of the presentation styles like 
s-pre-#.tex. But I didn't find how to use it in the ConTeXt manual. 
Recently, I googled and found some files for presentation including 
Hraban's source, but I didn't succeed.

I try to compile it in the pure ConTeXt environment,
texexec --pdf project_pdf-info.tex
and got some error messages.

.....
bodyfont        : bodyfont 16pt is defined (can better be done global)

l.4 \StartTitlePage

? x
No pages of output.
.....
Now I am using OS X 10.3.8 and Gerben's installation.

What should I do to remove this error?
Is there any place or samples  to show "how to create presentation"?

I am sorry if it is too well known subject.

Regards,
Dalyoung

Hi,

I am sending you a small zip file containing all the necessary files 
I use to create presentation with ConTeXt, together with some macros 
creating steps.
Sorry if the text of the presentation is in French... (however the 
explanation of the macros is in English).

Best regards: OK

Dear Otared,

Thank you for your nice file. I have seen your another "SlideWithSteps" 
file in ConTeXt Wiki whose output is A4 size.
But this one looks much better.

Although it wokred fine, there is some warning message. Did I do 
something wrong?

I'll test your macros in the XeTeX-ConTeXt to use non roman characters.

Thank you again.

I added following two lines in conf-pre-main.tex,

\usetypescriptfile[type-xall] %script file
\usetypescript[myface]		%typeface

In type-xall.tex,
....
\starttypescript[serif][smmjr][uc]
% Regular variant:
  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoRegular]["smMyungjoR\space 
W30"][encoding=uc]
  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoBold]["smMyungjoR\space W70"][encoding=uc]
  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoLight]["smMyungjoR\space W10"][encoding=uc]
  \definefontsynonym[smMyungjoBlack]["smMyungjoR\space W90"][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript

% Start another typescript that associates generic names with
% mid-level names:
\starttypescript[serif][smmjr][name]
  \definefontsynonym[Serif][smMyungjoRegular]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][smMyungjoBold]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][smMyungjoLight]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][smMyungjoBlack]
% The fallbacks
  \definefontsynonym[SerifSlanted][Serif]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][SerifBold]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][Serif]
\stoptypescript
...

Then, I got a following error,

This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.5.3)
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
(pre-main-mpgraph.mp
! Extra tokens will be flushed.

                    smMyungjoR
l.42 defaultfont:=""smMyungjoR
                                W30"";
?

It may be the problem in XeTeX. However, is it related with ConTeXt?

Thank you.

Yeah, I haven't really worked on ConTeXt's MetaFun links at all, and
MetaPost invocations will choke on the XeTeX-y font names with spaces
(and quotes). I'm sorry, but those waters are a bit too deep for me to go
into right now. I hope someone else can take that topic up.

Incidentally, Dalyoung, have you used the new
\XeTeXlinebreaklocale="locale-id" feature? That seems tailor-made for
Korean typesetting. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

best,
adam

Hi,

You didn't do anything wrong: the warning is due to the fact that the 
same equation appears in several steps although its number doesn't 
change.
Some time ago discussions with David Munger resulted in a better 
version of the stepping macros, in particular avoiding the side 
effect you are mentionning.
However the files I sent you were prepared before that... and I 
didn't manage to update the presentation I sent you.
After our discussions, David Munger wrote a nice "third party" module 
named t-rsteps.tex which you can use alternatively.

Best regards: OK
