Interaction and button
In an interactive document it is useful to be able to put buttons which do specific navigation tasks. The \button does precisely this, and it can be included in a layer which can be put anywhere on a page. Here is an example:
\setuppapersize[A7][A7] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \definelayer[MyButton] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setlayerframed[MyButton] [x=30mm,y=40mm, location={lo,hi}] [width=50mm,height=30mm, %offset=-1mm, frame=on] {\button[frame=off]{\scale[height=2em]{\symbol[navigation 1][nextpage]}}[NextPage] \endgraf We have a nice button here} \setupbackgrounds[page] [background={MyButton}] \starttext We have here a page with a layer containing a button. \page This is a second page, and here is a button to go back \button{\symbol[navigation 1][previouspage]}[PreviousPage]. \stoptext
This results in the following:
Indeed, instead of \symbol one can use any other character, or even a figure with the command \externalfigure.
