Sorry for coming back again and again, but I’m still stuck, and my
deadline is overdue.
* I need full-page pictures on defined pages in the middle of a chapter.
* I don’t care if I must define "on page x" or "on the next right page
after the current paragraph".
- The only way for full-page pictures (i.e. bleeding over the page)
that I know of is layers.
- The only way to interrupt a story with full-page content that I know
of is postponing.
(makeups were a dead end so far - maybe they can help to get to a
right page withput using \page[right])
While each works for itself, I can’t get layers working within
postponing.
And when that works, I need to wrap it in a macro, since I alway need
to define and postpone three sequential pages.
Without postponing, this works:
--- *** ---
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\definelayer[bg][x=0mm,y=-3mm,width=\dimexpr(\paperwidth+3mm),height=
\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]
%\definemakeup[rightpage][page=right]
\def\DoublePic#1{
%\startmakeup[rightpage] % error!
\page[right]
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut
%\stopmakeup
% empty back of the first picture, since it’s printed on transparent
paper
%\startmakeup[rightpage] % error!
\page[right]
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-hg][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight
+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut
%\stopmakeup
\page
}
\starttext
\input tufte
\DoublePic{koe}
\input knuth
\stoptext

This doesn’t:
--- *** ---
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\definelayer[bg][x=0mm,y=-3mm,width=\dimexpr(\paperwidth+3mm),height=
\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]
\def\DoublePicAt#1#2{
\startpostponing[#2]
\page[right] % tried also makeups...
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut
\page[right]
\setuppagenumber[state=start]
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-back][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight
+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut
\page
\stoppostponing
}
\starttext
\DoublePicAt{hacker}{5}
\dorecurse{30}{
\section{Knuth \recurselevel}
\input knuth
}
\stoptext

Can you show me a way to use layers within postponing, please?
