Dear list,
I am reading up on how to replace InDesign with CTX when producing a
newsletter, using 2 or 3 double-sided A3 sheets containing text in two
columns per page (with images). I'm looking for an example of a
composition structure. Unfortunately, the wiki page devoted to projects
seems meagre. The link to an example given by Hans at the bottom of the
page: Hans Hagen (2011) Project Structure, ConTeXt magazine #1101 is a
dead link.
For example, if I take a notebook consisting of 2 A3 sheets, folded to
give 8 pages, the first page, which is an odd page, will be printed on
the back of sheet 1, as will page 8. Page 2 is printed on the same
sheet, but on the front as an even page. However, note that page 3 (odd)
is printed (as an odd page, like page 1) on the reverse of sheet 2. Then
pages 4 and 5 are printed on the front of sheet 2, while page 6 faces
page 3 on the back of sheet 2. Page 7 is on the same front as page 2
(sheet 1) and finally, page 8 faces (on the back of sheet 1) page 1.
My question is this: is there a way to automate the placement of text
and images on the right pages with ConTeXt, or do you have to organise
everything manually with a layout?
Does anyone have more detailed information? I'd be delighted to add this
information to the Wiki page.
Thank you for your help.
JP
