I made a screenshot for you: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/shoayek5/onlinebook.jpg It ist the online-version of a printed book. For printing it was ok to have one bookpage on one sheet of paper. For the online-version I want to have two bookpages on one sheet of paper but the coverpage should be alone on one sheet of paper. The online-version is a PDF ... no html. sheet of paper is of course only virtualy meant ... it is online The difficulty is that there a bunch of (hyperlinked) cross-references in the book ... so people can use the pdf interactively. Without this I could put the pages manualy together. Hope that now you know what I want to do. And I am hoping very much for a solution ...

So I think you will have to add the desired empty page manually. On a wild guess: if you want different versions for print and for screen, you can use modes (that's what I do for some of my stuff). in pseudo-code: \startmode[booklet] \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \stopmode \starttext First page \startmode[booklet] \null \page \stopmode etc. \stoptext When you run with context --mode=booklet --arrange you'll get the desired booklet; otherwise you get a normal pdf.

2 3 second
4 5 third

8 fifth (coverpage)
I know how to use with modes - but the answer must be an other.
Maybe I have to explain it more clearly:
on the first PDF-Page (A5) there should be only the cover-page (page 1)
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setuparranging[1SIDE]%- I don't know how to write it - nothing was
working
On the second PDF-Page there should be page 2 and page 3
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2SIDE]
It must be a problem lot's of people have when they make a book with ConTeXt
and want to make a second PDF-version for the Internet.
If you don't mind creating another file to convert a given double sided
pdf into the above format, you can use the following (pseudo code,
untested, and might have typos)
get number of pages in the pdf
\getfiguredimensions[filename]
\edef\NOfPages{\noffigurepages}
insert the first page
\startTEXpage[height=(A5 height}, width=(A5 width)]
\externalfigure[filename][page=1]
\stopTEXpage
loop and insert all but the last page (you may have to test if the number
of pages are odd or even and use \numexpr(\NOfPages - 1) to find the last
but one page:
\dostepwiserecurse{2}{2}{\LastButOnePage}
{ \startTEXpage[height=(A5 height), width=(A4 height)]
\expanded{\externalfigure[filename][page=\recurselevel]}%
\expanded{\externalfigure[filename][page=\numexpr\recurselevel+1\relax]}%
\stopTEXpage
}
If the number of pages is even, insert last page.
