Re: [NTG-context] Help on tweaking alignment, page numbers and ToC
Thank Pablo, Wolfgang, I have learned more by reading your replies than by myself in the rest of the afternoon. Just one more thing: >>> 1. Increase the space between Roman numbers and titles in the ToC. >> >> distance with dimension is the key in \setuplist. > > Correct but it's also important to set "width" to a value which is large > enough to fit the number. Chapters in the front matter have no number, so the Preface gets aligned with the numbers of the other chapters: Preface I XYZ ... VIII XYZ ... I'd prefer all the titles to be aligned: Preface I XYZ ... VIII XYZ ... I have tried to do my homework by playing with \setuphead, but I am afraid I need your help on this.

Hi Nicola,
Garulfo invested a lot of time and effort in the new wiki layout and
contents.
Taco is always improving the software that runs the wiki (and the source).
Many thanks to them and to all other developers.
Thanks to the docs, dropcaps and protrusion have no secrets for me,
but I am still struggling with some basic tasks (see the document
below):
0. Push text to the bottom of the text area (see copyright).
Well, \setupalignment tweaks position in line (I’d rather say). Bottom
isn’t an option there.
Adding \null\vfill before the alignment does the job.
I think a makeup environment fits here better.

1. Increase the space between Roman numbers and titles in the ToC.
distance with dimension is the key in \setuplist.
Correct but it's also important to set "width" to a value which is large
enough to fit the number.
2. Vertically center the ToC (wrt to the text area).
Use a makeup for the TOC (if and only if it takes a single page).
3. Suppress page numbers and headers in all blank pages.
Break pages with \page[yes, blank].
Not the best solution for empty pages before a new chapter.
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page={yes,header,footer,right}]
4. Suppress headers in the front matter.
This would be my educated guess:
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
5. Style and position page numbers differently in the front and body
matter (e.g., centered only in the front matter).
Alignment only (style comes with the proper option 😉):
\setuppagenumbering[location={bottom, inmargin}]
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setuppagenumbering[location={bottom, centered}]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
As my full document uses environments, I would like most setups to
be in the environment, if possible. E.g., is it possible to replace
\setuphead[chapter][after={}]
(see below) with an environment setup that applies only to the ToC?
Either you create and set up a \chapter command for the TOC (such as
\chapterTOC) to use it only once, or you create a sectionblock that you
apply only for the TOC (and define the chapter settings for that
sectionblock).
I never used environments (other than the ones to typeset XML sources),
so this is my best option 😅.
A environment is nothing more than a external file for the style, the
only difference between \input{...} and \environment[...] is that
ConTeXt loads environment files only once.

[NTG-context] About testing rest of space on a page

[NTG-context] question on page transitions
Dear list,
I have a question about page transitions (lines 297-304 from scrn-pag.mkvi):
\def\scrn_transitions_set_indeed
{\begingroup
\edef\currentinteractionscreendelay{\interactionscreenparameter\c!delay}%
\clf_setpagetransition
n {\scrn_transitions_list}%
delay \ifx\currentinteractionscreendelay\v!none
\zerocount\else\currentinteractionscreendelay\fi
\relax
\endgroup}
I wonder whether the "delay" option in \setupinteractionscreen defines
the number of seconds for the page or for the transition.
From what I read in the code above, I would say that the duration is
defined for the transition itself.
Inspecting the output PDF code in generated documents, the duration is
set for the page.
In PDF code. /Page <> sets the number of seconds for the
page
(https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#search=duration).
/Page <> >> sets the number of seconds for the transition
(https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#nameddest=G11.2295795).
With the followling sample:
\setuppapersize[A9,landscape]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=max, delay=5]
\setuppagetransitions[random]
\setupbodyfont[50pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{%
\startmakeup[page][style=\bf\ss, align=center]
\recurselevel
\stopmakeup%
}
\stoptext
The output PDF document may contain a /Page object such as:
6 0 obj
<<
/Contents 4 0 R
/Dur 5
/Trans <<
/Di 90
/M /O
/S /Fly
>>
/Type /Page
>>
endobj
This forces the viewer to advance the page after 5s. To have a
transition duration of 5s, it should read:
6 0 obj
<<
/Contents 4 0 R
/Trans <<
/D 5
/Di 90
/M /O
/S /Fly
>>
/Type /Page
>>
endobj
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#nameddest=G11.2104292
shows the difference between /Dur and /D.
Could anyone confirm whether this should be fixed (or I’m missing
something)?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

You have to add the "force" keyword to \blank because TeX ignores by

I’m afraid that you get the same result, so there may be a bug there.
There is no bug. When you take a look at my pagenumber example you see a
few lines at the top show the number of the previous page, this happens
because TeX collects more than necessary which means in your example
above the layer is placed when TeX was still on the first page.
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid that TeX is too tricky for me in that case (or I simply think
that it is misbehaving there).
In your example you can add \testpage to \section to force a page break
when there isn't enough space available to place the heading, this moves
also the layer placement to the next page.
I’m afraid this doesn’t work with my real document.
I need another approach. This sample reflects my problem:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
%~ \showframe\showgrid
\starttext
\dorecurse{41}{one line\par}
\ \comment[location={rightmargin}]{comment}
\stoptext
Since layers are problematic for the task, I insert the comments right
after the text (which actually comes from \xmlflush{#1} [XML sources]).
I’m afraid that the paragraph before \comment comes from \xmlflush, so I
cannot avoid it.
This is unproblematic for most cases, but the sample above displays the
problem of adding a comment in a new paragraph. It might add a new page.
To avoid this issue: how could I prevent the pagebreak before \comment
and the addition of a pagebreak above?
If that were possible, I could add a \blank[-2*line] that would place
the comment right.
Try
\removeunwantedwhitespace
or
\blank[samepage]

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid that TeX is too tricky for me in that case (or I simply think
that it is misbehaving there).

I’m afraid this doesn’t work with my real document.
I need another approach. This sample reflects my problem:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
%~ \showframe\showgrid
\starttext
\dorecurse{41}{one line\par}
\ \comment[location={rightmargin}]{comment}
\stoptext
Since layers are problematic for the task, I insert the comments right
after the text (which actually comes from \xmlflush{#1} [XML sources]).
I’m afraid that the paragraph before \comment comes from \xmlflush, so I
cannot avoid it.
This is unproblematic for most cases, but the sample above displays the
problem of adding a comment in a new paragraph. It might add a new page.
To avoid this issue: how could I prevent the pagebreak before \comment
and the addition of a pagebreak above?
If that were possible, I could add a \blank[-2*line] that would place
the comment right.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Rudolf.
The issue is that the layer is placed on the first page, where it should
be placed on the second page.
This sample shows thie problem in a simpler way:
\definelayer[whatever]
[x=3em, y=3em]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=whatever]
\setuphead
[section]
[before={\testpage[2]\blank[2*big]}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{18}{\section{Section}}
just a line
\setlayerframed[whatever][foregroundstyle=\bf\ss]
{layer on the last page?}
\stoptext
I’m afraid that you get the same result, so there may be a bug there.
There is no bug. When you take a look at my pagenumber example you see a
few lines at the top show the number of the previous page, this happens
because TeX collects more than necessary which means in your example
above the layer is placed when TeX was still on the first page.
In your example you can add \testpage to \section to force a page break
when there isn't enough space available to place the heading, this moves
also the layer placement to the next page.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I thought this was caused by the deployment of
"\placelist[section][alternative=d]". But my new sample shows clearly
that this isn’t the cause.
My question is now is how to get the right page for the layer in this
sample:
\definelayer[whatever]
[x=3em, y=3em]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=whatever]
\starttext
\dorecurse{18}{\section{Section}}
just a line
\setlayerframed[whatever][foregroundstyle=\bf\ss]
{layer on the last page?}
\stoptext

\pagenumber is only reliable headers/footer texts or page backgrounds,
for everything else you need a multi pass mechanism (save the page

Hi Alan,
Sorry, I should have actually tried your MWE. You do *not* want
way=bypage here, as that resets the counter to one at the start

per-page, but not for actual page counters).

Re: [NTG-context] problem with counters (page)
Hi, Taco—
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it with \incrementcounter before
and after the TEXpage. Sadly, neither worked.
This mwe is an attempt to capture the failure of the following in
processing a product with numerous components:
\definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage]
\setupfootertexts[text]
[]
[{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}}
\incrementcounter[volpage]}]
[{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}}
\incrementcounter[volpage]}]
[]
If your suggestion had worked, I would have had difficulty in applying it.

Hi,
Incrementing the counter outside of the TEXpage should work.

[NTG-context] problem with counters (page)
My efforts to set up a new page counter in the footertexts of a book are
not proving successful. The following code shows the nature of the problem.
\definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage]
\starttext
\setcounter[volpage][5]
\dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=2pc]
\input ward
\blank[medium]
\centerline{\red\tfa\rawcounter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]}
\stopTEXpage}
\stoptext
As you will see, the counter is not incremented on pages 2 and 3.
I expect that I have missed something important. But what?

I tried several \doifs and this was the one that worked. Can’t remember the
details, it’s been a while.

You can use `\doifsomething{\structureuservariable{image}}` etc which is

One and a half question.
Why did you set \ChapterCounter explizitly and why is \ChapterCounter
part of the datasetvariable?
\dataset... is a high level interface for collecting two-pass data in ConTeXt.
Here is a simple example:
\definedataset[name]
\starttext
The values of the three dataset variables are:
\startlines
\datasetvariable{name}{hash1}{key}
\datasetvariable{name}{hash2}{key}
\datasetvariable{name}{hash3}{key}
\stoplines
Now we set the values.
\setdataset[name][hash1][key=value1]
\setdataset[name][hash2][key=value2]
\setdataset[name][hash3][key=value3]
\stoptext
Note that we are using the values stored in different hash-ids before they are
defined. ConTeXt stores the values in the `.tuc` file and uses them. This is
what is stored in the `.tuc` file:
utilitydata.job.datasets.collected={
["name"]={
["hash1"]={
["key"]="value1",
},
["hash2"]={
["key"]="value2",
},
["hash3"]={
["key"]="value3",
},
},
}
The magic of loading and reusing them happens behind the scenes, so the user
doesn't have to worry about it. See
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Key_Value_Assignments#Multi-pass_data
for more details.
Now, suppose you wanted to use the image defined as part of `\startchapter` as
the background image of the _current_ page, then you could access the value of
the \structureuservariable. For example,
\startchapter[title=whatever][image=filename]
\structureuservariable{image}
\stopchapter
But you want to use the value of the image _before_ the start of the chapter.
So, Wolfgang is using the two-pass mechanism to store the value of the image in
the database named 'chapter` in the hash-location `\ChapterCounter` and then
retrieving it before it is defined!

Now I would like to redefine the contents of the left page on the fly
in the text
so that I could place images on this page.
I thought that I could get a simple solution by inserting a TEXpage as
even
page, but this does not work for several reasons. First a TEXpage is
not counted
correctly like a normal page. And secondly I found now way to put it
on the
even page.
So what I really want to achieve is a way to redefine this setups at
some point
in the text to insert eg. a picture on the even page before a chapter.
\startsetups [chapter:before]
\doifoddpageelse

As you see the image is not in the right place and of course the
pagenumbering
is wrong.
Use \startTEXpage[pagestate=start] to increase the page number with TEX
pages.
Thanks for this hint.
I want that one of these blue pages shows an image. Is this possible?
Yes but there are different ways for different requirements.
- Do you you have a picture before *every* chapter?
No, the additional image page shall appear only if the last chapter ends
on an odd page. Then I need the image page to push the new chapter to
the next odd page.
- Do you use full page images?
- Are the images cropped to fit the page dimension, stretched or
centered with margins?
For this usecase images are blown up and cropped to fit the page
dimension including the bleed.

Re: [NTG-context] Wiki - Proposal to update the Welcome page
1/ Concerning the Manuals Page - As proposed, "obsolete banners" are added to thumbnails of the oldest manuals. Looks good.

Re: [NTG-context] Text to be placed into the free space after columns and end of the page
Hello Aditya,
thanks for all your answers.
You were right - my minimalist sample was not very suitable, and my real
sample can be successfuly handled with \startnarrower.
Thanks again for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Proposal to update the "Manuals" wiki page
Hello Garulfo, thanks for the great work! Two suggestions: 1. Obsolete manuals: Could their pictures be scratched somehow? One will see on the first sight that he is to investigate "no-more-valid" stuff. 2. Could you add a "download all manuals" hlink/button next to each (sub)title to download appropriate manuals as .zip, so to get: " Up-to-date Documentation (title) [download-all-up-to-date-manuals-in-this-section-inc-subsections (hlink)] ... Graphics and Colors (subtitle) [download-all-graphics-and-colors-manuals-inc-subsections (hlink)] ... " - IMHO it would be good for offline users (and for those who prefer printed form).

[NTG-context] Building a page based on exact location of graphical elements (PDF)
What is the simplest way to build a page based on positioning of external images? Some of these images are page-sized (so take up an entire page, though I might want to overlay some other text boxes and MP graphics).

Re: [NTG-context] Blank page added after pagecolumns
I thought that the "yes" and "nop" suffixes were related to "page=yes" and
"page=no" for a few reasons. First, because I thought "nop" could be
shorthand for "no page." More importantly, however, I thought they might be
related because setting page=no in \definepagecolumns does not appear to
have any effect, and patching \page_col_stop_yes to do what
\page_col_stop_nop does had the desired effect. But as you have shown,
doing this causes problems with the transition back to a single-column
layout, so I suppose that the \page_col_stop_yes and \page_col_stop_nop
macros are meant to implement behavior dependent on the number of columns.
Your suggestion to add a column if the column at the end of the environment
is not the last one is elegant and works on different variations of the
MWE, including cases with more than two columns.

All right, I've found a tentative solution that appears to work in all
cases, but I'd like to know more about why the code I'm patching was
implemented in the first place, because I don't want to break anything
else. According to the code in page-pcl.mkiv, the \stoppagecolumns macro
has two implementations, \page_col_stop_yes and \page_col_stop_nop. The
choice of which implementation is used is determined by which of two
implementations of \startpagecolumns (\page_col_start_yes
and \page_col_start_nop) is used. That choice, in turn, is made in
the \page_col_start macro, in the following lines:
```
\c_page_col_n_of_columns\pagecolumnsparameter\c!n\relax
\ifnum\c_page_col_n_of_columns>\plusone
\expandafter\page_col_start_yes
\else
\expandafter\page_col_start_nop
\fi
```
so if the number of columns (i.e., the n option for the
pagecolumns environment) is more than one, the "yes" implementation of
the start and stop commands is used.
But this seems wrong. The naming convention for the two implementations
("yes" and "nop") suggests that they should be related the parameters
"page=yes" and "page=no" (hence, no page, which is what I think "nop"
abbreviates), but the choice of which implementation to use is
determined not by the page parameter, but by the n parameter. Is this an
error in the code, or am I just understanding this incorrectly? Is there
some reason why a layout with more than one column would need special
instructions to add a blank page after stopping the environment?
Why do you think "yes" and "nop" are related to the page-key?
In any event, I was able to solve the problem by patching the
\page_col_start_yes macro to invoke the \page_col_start_nop macro as
follows:
```
\unprotect
\def\page_col_stop_yes

With this fix, the MWE I provided works regardless of which column the
text ends in. I'm content to consider the problem solved, but I would
certainly appreciate any feedback on my thoughts and questions about
page-pcl.mkiv.
You broke now now normal single columns text after the pagecolumns
environment. A better fix is to add a check for the \column command at
the end of the environment and add it only when we aren't in the last
column.
\unexpanded\def\page_col_stop_yes
{%\column % \page_otr_eject_page

Thanks Wolfgang. It seems I was almost there, but had forgotten the

Re: [NTG-context] Blank page added after pagecolumns
Okay, I think I'm getting close, but I'm not quite there yet. The
pagecolumns source code is found in page-pcl.mkiv (
source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/page-pcl.mkiv), and in that
code, the \page_col_stop_yes macro seems to have something to do with the
issue:
```
\unexpanded\def\page_col_stop_yes
{\column % \page_otr_eject_page
\page
\endgroup
% \setupoutputroutine[\s!singlecolumn]%
\page_otr_command_set_vsize
\page_otr_command_set_hsize
\page
\endgroup}
```
If I redefine this macro in my MWE as follows, I can remove the extra page
that is added when the last page ends with text in the last column:
```
\unprotect
\def\page_col_stop_yes
{\column %\page_otr_eject_page
%\page
\endgroup
% \setupoutputroutine[\s!singlecolumn]%
\page_otr_command_set_vsize
\page_otr_command_set_hsize
%\page
\endgroup}
\protect
```
Commenting out the \page calls does the trick in this case, but now, if the
last page ends with its text in a column before the last one, then the last
page is not typeset at all, and a blank page takes its place.

Maybe the solution lies with some combination of the above I haven't
thought of, or maybe there is another solution altogether. Any thoughts?

Re: [NTG-context] long caption in 2-page spread
After trying Hraban's two suggestions to resolve the problem of a
caption ('title=') for an image across a two-page spread (and I have
tried a variety of adaptations of those two possible solutions), I still
have not resolved the issue.
To repeat what Hans gave me, to resolve the 2-page spread in the first
instance:
\startpostponing
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\startspread
\startplacefigure[location=here,title={This is a cow!}]
\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=\textheight]%
\stopplacefigure
\stopspread
\setuppagenumbering[state=start]
\stoppostponing
The problem I have is that the figure has a title/caption much longer
than 'This is a cow', and the end result is that it commences on the
verso page but then runs across (repeats, part of it) on the recto page.
Hraban suggests, first of all:
title={\hbox to \textwidth{\vbox{Your lengthy caption}}}
but this results in the first part of the caption properly located
left-flushed on the verso page, and the other part right-flushed (and to
the right of the figure, so running off the page) on the recto page.
The second solution is
title={\framedtext[width=\textwidth,frame=off,align=right]{Your lengthy
caption}}
and this almost works, but this time part of the caption repeats on the
left of the recto page more or less within the inner margin, so I can
live with that, knowing that it will not be visible ultimately at the
binding stage.
Of course, what I really want to achieve is that the caption (aka
'title') appears either on the verso or the recto page, but not both. Is
that achievable? The actual coding for all this as I have it at the
moment is as follows:
\startpostponing
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\startspread
\startplacefigure[location=here,title={{\sc Plates 12/13.}
\switchtobodyfont[9.5pt] My very, very,_very long\\ caption for this_
figure}]
\externalfigure[plate12-13.jpg][height=.8\textheight]%
\stopplacefigure
\stopspread
\setuppagenumbering[state=start]
\stoppostponing
but
..._very long caption_
_for this _...
is repeated on the recto page. This is what I want to avoid.

Re: [NTG-context] Blank page added after pagecolumns
After continuing to look into this a bit, I noticed that a similar issue
involving the insertion of a blank page after a columnset environment has
been discussed on the mailing list in the thread "Blank page inserted when
text reaches column's end" (dated 08 Dec 2019). In that thread, a proposed
solution was to redefine the \page_grd_stop macro found in page-cst.mkiv as
follows:
```
\unprotect
\def\page_grd_stop{%
\endgraf % needed, else wrong vsize in one par case
\vfill % otherwise weird \placenotes[endnotes]
\page_grd_command_set_vsize % needed
\penalty\c_page_otr_eject_penalty
%\page_grd_command_flush_page
\page_otr_fill_and_eject_page
\page_grd_command_set_vsize % why here
\egroup
\page_otr_command_set_vsize
\page_otr_command_set_hsize
}
\protect
```
Unfortunately, this approach was found to have potential issues in that
thread, and it does not fix the problem with pagecolumns in my MWE. Are
pagecolumns commands aliased to pagegrid commands like columnset commands
are, or are they defined somewhere else? I checked page-col.mkiv, but it
seems to be too short to be the file that defines pagecolumns behavior.

Hi list,
With 99% of work complete on a book, including single page images, I now
find myself confronted with a final problem: how to run one image across
facing pages or in other words, one image (plus its caption) across a
two-page spread, such that there is no gap.
I have tried a number of fairly crass attempts (obviously too simple) to
see if I could get somewhere near what I want, e.g.
\externalfigure[plate12.jpg][width=\paperwidth, height=.7\paperheight,
frame=none] {\tfx \sc Plates 12, 13. \tfx Twenty trucks from the
Netherlands setting off}
\externalfigure[plate13.jpg][width=\paperwidth, height=.7\paperheight,
frame=none] {\tfx for their first mission amongst the German diaspora.}
My thinking here was that \paperwidth might help extend the image to the
inner edge on the left-hand page, but it doesn't work that way for the
right-hand page, since there it extends to the outer edge, not the inner
edge! The .7\paperheight was to provide room for the caption. But all in
all, this is no solution!
If it is any help, the setup dimensions for the book are US Digest:
\definepapersize
[ACN][width=5.5in,height=8.5in] % w140mm x h216mm
I then looked up how one might do it in LaTeX, and found the following
link:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/23860/how-to-include-a-picture-over-two-pages-left-part-on-left-side-right-on-right
How much of that would be transferable to ConTeXt? (I am thinking
particularly of the |\newcommand*{\twopagepicture}[4]| bit.
There are explanations for how to do this in InDesign, and since it is
something someone might often want to do (e.g. in magazines), I also
thought it might be easier to find reference to it on Contextgarden, yet
haven't found anything there. But I am sure ConTeXt has a way to do this.
Could someone point me in the right direction with this please?

You need to use \clip and calculate the sections.
Thangalin already gave you an example. Here’s a convoluted one that I use:
% full double page image

% \startpostponing[pagenumber]
% \doublepagefig[reference][left/right/width/height*]{caption}{filename}
% \stoppostponing
% * lw,lh,rw,rh - place as left/right page, adapt image to width/height

[NTG-context] further to the single image across two page spread
After sending my previous email, I realised that my own attempt could be quite misleading, since there I was using two separate images across facing pages. I was simply trying to get the two images to 'marry' across the divide! But that is not my problem, since what I need to do is to get the one image (a suitable landscape image I might add) to run seamlessly across a two-page spread (which is what the LaTeX example I gave does).

[NTG-context] image across 2 page spread
Hi list,
With 99% of work complete on a book, including single page images, I now
find myself confronted with a final problem: how to run one image across
facing pages or in other words, one image (plus its caption) across a
two-page spread, such that there is no gap.
I have tried a number of fairly crass attempts (obviously too simple) to
see if I could get somewhere near what I want, e.g.
\externalfigure[plate12.jpg][width=\paperwidth, height=.7\paperheight,
frame=none] {\tfx \sc Plates 12, 13. \tfx Twenty trucks from the
Netherlands setting off}
\externalfigure[plate13.jpg][width=\paperwidth, height=.7\paperheight,
frame=none] {\tfx for their first mission amongst the German diaspora.}
My thinking here was that \paperwidth might help extend the image to the
inner edge on the left-hand page, but it doesn't work that way for the
right-hand page, since there it extends to the outer edge, not the inner
edge! The .7\paperheight was to provide room for the caption. But all in
all, this is no solution!
If it is any help, the setup dimensions for the book are US Digest:
\definepapersize
[ACN][width=5.5in,height=8.5in] % w140mm x h216mm
I then looked up how one might do it in LaTeX, and found the following
link:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/23860/how-to-include-a-picture-over-two-pages-left-part-on-left-side-right-on-right
How much of that would be transferable to ConTeXt? (I am thinking
particularly of the |\newcommand*{\twopagepicture}[4]| bit.
There are explanations for how to do this in InDesign, and since it is
something someone might often want to do (e.g. in magazines), I also
thought it might be easier to find reference to it on Contextgarden, yet
haven't found anything there. But I am sure ConTeXt has a way to do this.
Could someone point me in the right direction with this please?
Julian

[NTG-context] Blank page added after pagecolumns
I am typesetting a document using pagecolumns to ensure that my footnotes
are set ragged-bottom in columns. I have observed some unexpected behavior
whenever the last column on a page is left incomplete: a blank page is
added at the end of the document. A minimal working example follows:
```
\starttext
\startpagecolumns[n=2]
\dorecurse{3}{\par\input zapf}
\stoppagecolumns
\stoptext
```
I typeset this using ConTeXt version 2020.03.10, as released with TeXLive
2020. Notably, if \dorecurse{3} is changed to \dorecurse{2} or
\dorecurse{6} (so that the text ends in the first column of a page), then
there is no problem. I have tried to fix this by specifying page=no in the
\startpagecolumns arguments, but it did not change anything. Is there
something else I am missing?
Thank you,
Joey

My question is how to get a page from the document you‘re compiling

I have tried to search both i-context.pdf and the wiki, but “mirror”
and
“repeat” seem to be bad options.

Thank you, that works in the example, but not in my actual project, and I
didn’t find why.
But I found a workaround (used \setupheadertexts before and in the middle of
the chapter).
In the end there was just one chapter left where the problem arose, since the
other chapters use a different setup (double page intro).
Best, Hraban

Sorry again for the poor explanation, Wolfgang.
I must recognize that I need this as a workaround to avoid crap at work
(and that is all I’m allowed to explain there).
I need an exact copy of the first page in the documents that only
contain a single page. Sorry, I cannot provide a minimal sample (only an
explanation [and I’m not sure it would be minimal]).
What I discovered after my previous message is that both
"\savebuffer[whatever][αβδ.γεζ]" and
"\ctxlua{os.remove([[\jobname]].."-αβδ.γεζ")}" are portable ways of
creating and removing empty files.

I’m not sure I’m getting this: do you mean something similar to
\typesetbuffer?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Your example is still very confusing and I have no idea
what you're trying to achieve. They way to go depends also
what you try to achieve, when you need an exact copy of
the first page the above is the way to go.
Another way is to use a make file (or a ctx-file for ConTeXt)
to add a image of the first page to your document afterwards.

Sorry for the inaccuracies in my previous description, Wolfgang.
I use a single source combined with data read from CSV files to generate
documents which may contain a single or more than one page.
I assumed that modes were persistent across runs. And maybe they aren’t
or my approach is wrong.

The sample that seems to work is the following (too tricky for my taste
and I have to adapt it to Windows):
\installshipoutmethod{savepages}
{\dowithnextbox
{\invokepagehandler{normal}{\copy\nextbox}%
\putboxincache{savedpages}{\number\realpageno}\nextbox}
\hbox}
\setuppaper[method=savepages]
\starttext
\scale[width=\textwidth]{a}
\scale[width=\textwidth]{b}
\doifmode{*first}{\executesystemcommand{rm zikaasd.abh}}
\startnotmode[*first]
\ifnum\lastpagenumber<2
\executesystemcommand{touch zikaasd.abh}
\fi
\doiffileexistselse{zikaasd.abh}{%
\startlayout[page]
\directboxfromcache{savedpages}{1}
\stoplayout}{}
\stopnotmode
\stoptext
I wonder whether there is a better way of doing this.
At least, creating and removing empty files with Lua would be more
portable. And not having to use an external file would be better.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Huge thanks for your reply and the code, Wolfgang.
I have just checked “TeX for the Impatient” to understand what shipout
methods and boxes were. I think I can barely grasp their meaning.
Which are other usages for shipouts and boxes? I guess they are used to
add pages in the final PDF document, but I don’t see which other uses
they may have.
BTW, “invokepagehandler” reads “invokepageheandler” in the following
files from the ConTeXt Suite (I don’t know whether the first is the real
source of the rest of them):
* texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv/i-imposition.xml
* texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv/context-en.xml
*
texmf-context/context/data/vscode/extensions/context/syntaxes/context-syntax-tex.json
*
texmf-context/context/data/textadept/context/data/scite-context-data-interfaces.lua

Many thanks for your reply, Thomas.
I don’t think this would work, since I need to impose a full page from
the same document in a new one (without resizing or rotating it).
I mean, from what I see in that approach, I would have a hard time
fitting all page contents with layers inside a single command.
But please, let me know what I may be missing here, if I’m wrong.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

You can store each finished page in a box and access the content
of the stored box afterwards.

I need a single page document to be printed twice and doublesided. I’m afraid I’d never used components and I cannot understand how this would help to replicate the previous page in a document. BTW, in my real-world document I use layers which are different for first and other pages. Could you provide a minimal sample showing how a component may include a page twice?

Re: [NTG-context] repeat a page inside a document
Hi, Pablo !
Funny, I asked the same kind of question in a LaTeX mailing list a few days
ago. The anwer I was given requires a LaTeX package, but is written in TeX as
well, so it may be easy to adapt it for ConTeXt. Sorry, I cannot do that
myself yet. I have just started to learn ConTeXt and am a very busy slow
learner.
\usepackage{atbegshi}
\newcommand{\Repeat}{}
\AtBeginShipout{%
\ifodd\value{page}%
\else\Repeat%
\newpage%
\fi%
}
I hope it helps. But maybe you don’t need to repeat the same page every two
page, as I did…
