[NTG-context] print many cards (pages) on one A4 paper
Hi, i want to print many (lets say 2 x 4) file cards on one DIN A4 paper. I played around with the BusinessCard[1] example. Thats close to what i need, but all cards are cloned there. How can i gain the same with 2x4 or 2x5 different cards on one side? (Sorry for the stupid question its my first context document) Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein n...@jonasstein.de ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Here is one option from one of my recent documents ...
Document A (badges.tex) creates badges:
\definepapersize
[badge]
[width=8.5cm,height=5cm]
\setuppapersize
[badge][badge]
\setuplayout
[backspace=1cm,width=middle,topspace=1cm,height=middle,
header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,footer=0pt,footerdistance=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering
[location=]
And then document B puts them together into table:
\setuppapersize
[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout
[backspace=2cm,width=25.5cm,topspace=2cm,header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,height=20cm]
\setuppagenumbering
[location=]
\def\b#1{\bTD\externalfigure[badges.pdf][page=#1]\eTD}
\starttext
\setupTABLE[strut=no,offset=0pt,split=yes]
\setupTABLE[c][each][width=8.5cm,height=5cm]
\bTABLE
\bTR\b{1}\b{2}\b{3}\eTR
\bTR\b{4}\b{5}\b{6}\eTR
\bTR\b{7}\b{8}\b{9}\eTR
% to get multiple badges of the same kind
\bTR\b{62}\b{62}\b{62}\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
But of course you may just as well do both steps at the same time.

The dorecurse loop was impressive too.
