Many thanks for your implementation, Hans. I agree it is not a general-purpose feature, but it is very useful when needed. The printing features (duplex and others) that I request are extremely useful for my workmates and in copyshops. With them, I don’t have to explain them how the PDF documents should be printed. I would love to have them in the webapps I have at work, but unfortunately they don’t contain them. > anyway, that said, as we use abstraction and as we don't know pages in > advance the only way i'm willing to support it is by using the (probably > unknown) marked pages feature Just to understand, why is it required that pages are known in advance? Is it only a question of convenience for the user or does ConTeXt As for the marked pages feature, it should read for me "(totally unknown)" instead of "(probably unknown)". > % \markpage[foo][1,4,5] From what I read in i-context.pdf, I wonder whether it would be possible to add page ranges with [10:90]. I don’t have a way of testing it, since I don’t know how to use \markpage for other purposes. > and guess who is going to document it on the wiki ... Already documented: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Print_Options#Print_Page_Range. I agree it might need some editing, but after testing the feature ;-).
