Hi all,
I have an ambitious plan to start (again) to use ConTeXt (MkIV, of
course;)), so that I can learn it a bit; also, I'd like to play around
with metapost/metafun (after a long break - I'm a metapost to tikz
convert;)).
I want to prepare a template for a list of names, looking like this (in
ascii art;)):
List of names
Class ________ Date ____
A-F M-R
____ ____
____ ____
G-L S-Z
____ ____
____ ____
(Of course, there will be more horizontal lines).
In other words, I'd like to have two columns (and a title spanning
them) and a lot of places to put down a name. I'd like each horizontal
line to have a little "hook" and one of the ends, i.e., a quarter of
a circle. I'd like to have full control over the positioning
(margins, width of the intercolumn space, height of each place for a
name etc.). I'd like the labels like A-F to be also "underlined" by
similar "hooked lines".
How do you think I should do it? More specifically:
1. How can I do something like "metapost macro" putting a "left or
right hooked horizontal line, of given length/width/color, at a
specific place"?
2. How can I instruct ConTeXt to put things where I want them? In
plain TeX or LaTeX, I'd use a bunch of boxes, vskips etc; what is the
"ConTeXt way"?
Thanks in advance!
