I'm still trying to reproduce the layo-05.tex example Hans. As its code is rather tortuous I studied other examples. Up till now this has been quite a time investment without noticeable return, partly due to not finding a comprehensive \*interaction* commands documentation to guide me all along.
the problem with interaction is that there is not one route ... the simplest way is to just turn it on (\setupinteraction[state=start]) next there are only a few special interaction things: goto, buttons and menus and it really depends on your design then what you use the other thingies (graphics and such) ar enot special to interaction you can run layo-05.tex with --mode=demo to get a simple example, given at the bottom of that file an option is to copy that file into a temp one and start commenting ... that way you see what happens; normally a style is built the other way around, - set up a papersize - adapt the layout - start keying some text - then see what kind of text you have - adapt your design to the content now, esp with things like menus, finetuning really depends on the kind of content; the best way to get a feeling for that is just try things (at least that's how i do it ... just try what looks best as there is no recipy for a design) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
