This is extremely useful to help the user to print only the required

well, 'extremely' is a bit of a exaggeration i guess as most of these
fancy acrobat only features are hardly used or requested (i still have
to meet a publisher who wants anything fancy pdf anyway) so we're
talking of yet another feature creep that probably only one person will use
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.
as is much (like layers)
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.
the only way to test is dummy documents ... and as one never know pages
in advance marking a specific page actually makes not much sense .. i'll
add an automatism but as usual with such page break related features you
need to be explicit in the sense of adding \page (a bit like headers and
footers)
\page
\startmarkpages [extra]
\dorecurse {10} {
\samplefile{greenfield} \par
}
\page
\stopmarkpages
(it's no big deal to add a real marking feature that would be more
automatic but it's overkill)
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 ;-).
Many thanks for the implementation again,
Pablo
