Following up on the other imposition question, I'm trying to make an
example file that shows an imposition schema according to command
line arguments.
This way it works for the number of pages, as used in
\dorecurse{\Pages}{…}, but not for the imposition schema. Typesetting
\Schema looks right, but \setuparranging doesn’t work. Where's my error?
You forgot about expansion and in your case \doifelsedocumentargument
is not fully expandable. This doesn't matter for \dorecurse where the
number parser ignores the flag because \setuparranging does care and
\Schema fails to expand.
Thank you! Well, I tried \expanded in a few places, and that didn’t work.
\def\Schema{\doifelsedocumentargument{schema}{\getdocumentargument{schema}}{1*8}}
\def\Pages{\doifelsedocumentargument{numberofpages}{\getdocumentargument{numberofpages}}{16}}
\setuparranging[\Schema]
\doifelsedocumentargument{schema}
{\setuparranging[\getdocumentargument{schema}]}
{\setuparranging[1*8]}
Ok, that works. (Of course, if you say so.)
It does also help to look at the included extra files (e.g.
mtx-context-arrange.tex) written by Hans.
Well, I don’t know how to use that, it doesn’t compile on its own, any
hints?

Hello Hraban,
I puzzled a while. To me the —arguments= option does not work. I saw then on
the Wiki, that one can also add documentarguments as —schema=2UP
—numberofpages=16.
I further changed to \startdocument … \stopdocument.
Please look at the attached file
Willi
impositiontest-2.tex
