The following produces a first page with p.1 on the right half, but a blank 2nd page: \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2DOWN,rotated] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext That looks okay, except for the blank 2nd page. But shouldn't it also work to impose two A5's on one landscape A4? Here's a few more puzzles related to that. If they are doing what they are supposed to, let me know -- then I need to understand the imposition system more. \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \starttext \input tufte \page \input tufte \stoptext produces a two-page document: p.1: | | 1 | (i.e. blank left half, and original p.1 on the right half) p.2: | 2 | | (i.e. original p.2 on left half, blank right half) Shouldn't it produce p.1: | 1 | 2 | Here's my reasoning. Two A5's (with their long directions vertical) fit side by side to make one A4 in landscape orientation with text running down along the short direction, which looks like 2-column text done the hard way. So, for a two-page original document, 2UP arranging should produce either p.1: | 1 | 2 | or p.1: | 2 | 1 | So in case I've confused the directions of 2UP and 2DOWN, I also tried: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2DOWN] \starttext \input tufte \page \input tufte \stoptext It produces: p.1: | | | p.2: | 2 | | The original p.1 disappeared, which I don't understand. Also I don't understand why it results in two output pages. But this hack: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \starttext \null\page \input tufte \page \input tufte \stoptext produces the following arrangement, which is close to what I expect: p.1: | | 1 | (where the original p.1 is blank except for the page num) p.2: | 2 | 3 | Once I understand what's going on, I'll wikify! -Sanjoy _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
