This is a feature request or wish:
I would be glad to have a module (e.g. "fakefields") as a drop-in replacement
that overwrites the field commands (\setupfield, \definefield, \definesubfield,
\field) with a version that doesn’t create form fields but just \inframeds that
look the same.
\setupfield[setup name][options][keyval options] would map to
\defineframed[setup name][keyval options]
\definefield[name][type][setup name][content values][default content] would map
to \defineframed[nameField][keyval options] and inherit (how?) from "class
name".
Don’t know how \definesubfield would work and how to setup the relationship to
a special radiobutton type.
\field[name] would finally call \nameField{}
\setupfields doesn’t work anyway.
e.g.
\setupfield[MMshortString][reset,horizontal][width=45mm,option=printable,frame=off,bottomframe=on,height=2em,offset=0.5mm,frameoffset=1mm]
\definefield[Name][line][MMshortString][]
\field[Name]
would result in
\inframed[width=45mm,frame=off,bottomframe=on,height=2em,offset=0.5mm,frameoffset=1mm]{}
while
\setupfield[MMradio][frame=on, corner=round, height=0.75em, width=0.75em,
align=bottom, offset=-0.5mm, frameoffset=0mm]
\definefield[GRB][radio][MMradio][RByes,RBno][RByes]
\definesubfield[RByes][][]
\definesubfield[RBno][][]
\field[RByes] I agree.
\field[RBno] I don’t agree.
would result in
\inframed[frame=on, corner=round, height=0.75em, width=0.75em, align=bottom,
offset=-0.5mm, frameoffset=0m]{} I agree.
I’d try it myself, but I know it’s over my head. I guess I loverlooked
something important.
But probably it’s quite easy to do in Lua?
