Here's an idea for the question-mark graphic. I'm not sure whether I like it or not, so I'm putting it here. If someone else likes it too, feel free to go ahead and use it. (I'm also not sure whether it's a good idea to have it as rendered ConTeXt -- it's a fun idea, but it may make it a bit slower to load.)

Wow! I haven't even thought about using internal ConTeXt stuff for rendering graphics. I would search forever for a good graphics elsewhere. Personally I like it. If someone doesn't like it or can do it better or if we want to unify the symbols later for whatever reason, it can still be redone, but I would leave the rendering work to ConTeXt.

Patrick knows it better, but I believe that rendering is done only once and then the old PNGs are used, so it shouldn't be any slower than if we upload a picture. Mojca 11:23, 12 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Brooks, this is very nice! About the speed/rendering: If the text between the context tags is not changed, no TeX process will get started. Only a checksum is calculated for the code (which should be very fast for such short code). So I think that this is a good way. --pg

viewing all the howtos

Patrick, thank you for correcting the link. I noticed that stupid mistake, but I was away for a while and couldn't correct it. I would like a link to a page where all the pages containing the howto template would be shown (just as all the pages from one Category are shown). I thought that after adding the template to the page, the page would already show up in the How to? automatically. Any ideas how to do it?

Hmmm ... now that we have it, perhaps this is just the right place to put (the first) question mark :)


The author of this entry is looking for a solution for the described problem. (See: How to?)
