It's a book that will be published in two volumes, continually paginated.
In the end I need two pdf files, but I thought it might be easier to treat them
as one volume and just split the files with some external tool afterwards.
I could also treat them as two individual books, but then I'd have to get the
last page number of volume 1 in volume 2.
In the early days of context (more than 2 decades ago) we had a printer
where we could inject from different trays and that is why we have a
feature in context to mark pages (so that directives for printers could
be inserted). This feature survived / evolved into marked pages.
You can do this (oeps.tex):
\starttext
\chapter[one]{One}
\markpage[first] test \page test \page
\markpage[second] test \page
\chapter[two]{Two}
test \page
\markpage[fourth] test
\page
% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO}
% \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}
% \page
% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO}
% \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}
\stoptext
So, I was wondering if we can expose that differently.
>context --pages oeps
mtx-context | page : 0001 first
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth
>context --pages --page=second oeps
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
>context --pages --page=second,fourth oeps
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth
But, as you're talking chapters, a variants (with less overhead) is:
>context --pages --list=one,two oeps
mtx-context | list : 0001 one
mtx-context | list : 0004 two
Which of course assumes that you have a reference for the chapters.
This --pages feature is in the latest upload.
