Hi Joel,
I tried to recreate a document with chapters that contain a different
number of pages each:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuphead[chapter][reference=ch\the\numexpr\namedheadnumber{chapter}+1]
\starttext
\dorecurse{180}{%
\startchapter[title={Chapter \namedheadnumber{chapter}}]
\dorecurse{\randomnumber{10}{50}}
{\input zapf\par}
\stopchapter}
\stoptext
The key above is setting a reference for each chapter, so that they may
be retrieved later automatically.
Then you should have the pages for any chapter from its reference with
the following command:
context --pages=ch100 main-file.tex
But I must confess, I cannot get this working. I don’t know what I miss.
If you are on Unix, generating a bash loop would be similar to (once
your main PDF document has been generated):
for i in {1..180}; do mutool merge -o chapter-$i.pdf main-file\
"$(context --pages=ch$i main-file)"
But for that, you need to know first how "--pages=[reference]" may work.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo
