Many thanks for your reply, Willy.
Your code works fine, but I would like two improvements to make the
process fully automatic. So I could use it with different documents in
an easier way.
Is there a way that ConTeXt gets the total number of pages from the PDF
file itself?
I can redefine \Myfilename with an \env argument, but I don’t know how
to get thet total number of pages.

This is a booklet that I made available on the net. I don’t try to
compete with the bookbinding industry ;-).
The booklet is rather thick, but the trick is not to cut the outer
margin. It is a booklet and not a book, after all.
But I would say that the result is not bad.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] duplicate booklet arrangement
Hi Pablo,
..late answer ;-)
your explanation is fine. I also looked at your example in the link…
We had this discussion in earlier threads. For me as a bookbinder, your issue
is not really something for impositioning in a restricted sense. The thing is,
that the machinery for imposition is looping over the number of pages and puts
them in the defined place. So if one wants to achieve what you describe, the
machinery would have to set up in a different way. I run into this issue myself
and I would suggest, that you are ging to use for this special purpose some
code like this:
\def\Myfilename{quotes-1}
\def\Mypages{22}
\setuplayout
[topspace=0mm,
backspace=0mm,
margin=0pt,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
height=middle,
width=middle,]
\definelayer[Draw][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setuplayer[Draw][preset=lefttop]
\setupmakeup[standard][top=,bottom=,page=yes,doublesided=no]
\starttext
\dorecurse
{\Mypages}
{\setlayerframed
[Draw]
[x=0mm,y=0mm]
[offset=overlay,frame=off,rightframe=on]
{\externalfigure[\Myfilename][page=\recurselevel]}
\setlayerframed
[Draw]
[x=0mm,y=\dimexpr\paperheight/2]
[offset=overlay,frame=off]
{\externalfigure[\Myfilename][page=\recurselevel]}
\startstandardmakeup
\placelayer[Draw]
\stopstandardmakeup}
\stop
What this code does is to pick up the pages from the pdf which is made with
e.g. 2UP arranging on A5_landscape. It puts then each page two times on a sheet
of paper.
Willi
p.s. I am curious about how your booklet looks like after assembly. You put 142
pages in it with arranging 2UP. Folding this amount of paper makes a rather
thick booklet and I expect, that the outer margins are very small after cutting
it square…?

Sorry, Hans, I’m afraid that I don’t get it.
I have been searching the wiki and mailing list, the code (using grep)
after I got your reply. The solution may be there, but I haven’t been
able to find it.
\xmlcontext{#1}{.}
compiles in ConTeXt the contents of (in this case):
\ConTeXt\ rocks!
It would be the same as compiling in pure ConTeXt:
\starttext
\ConTeXt\ rocks!
\stoptext
And what I need (and haven’t been able to explain) is in pure ConTeXt:
\startTEX
\ConTeXt\ rocks!

If this can be achieved with \xmlcontext{#1}{#2}, I cannot find which

Re: [NTG-context] Different versions of Lua and error in the same versions of ConTeXt (Fedora vs Win7)
Hi Hans.
One more I ask You about this thing. When I have other separator - for
example ";" then c.txt data file is:
first,second,third,fourth
"1";"2";"3";"4"
"a";"b";"c";"d"
"foo";"bar""baz";"boogie";"xyzzy"
I was unable to figure out how to set the separator (and others default
values too) so as to replace the default value in the library util-prs.lua
Is there anything as utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter.separator=";"???
This library is loaded automatically? Or as a module?
Thanks Jaroslav Hajtmar
Here is minimal example for Your correction:
\starttext
\startluacode
local mycsvsplitter = utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter()
utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter.separator=";"
local crap = io.loaddata("c.txt")
local list, names = mycsvsplitter(crap,true) inspect(list) inspect(names)
local list, names = mycsvsplitter(crap)inspect(list) inspect(names)
context.starttabulate { "|l|r|" }
for i=1,#list do
local l = list[i]
context.NC() context(l[1])
context.NC() context(l[3])
context.NC()
context.NR()
end
context.stoptabulate()
\stopluacode

for pablo: there are csv scanners built in context
Hans,
I don’t really need this at home, but I’m interested in this.
in addition to the previous mail, t.txt is:
first,second,third,fourth
"1","2","3","4"
"a","b","c","d"
"foo","bar""baz","boogie","xyzzy"
the code is in util-prs.lua (where all kind of parsing code lives)
if you want to use that kind of code outside context you can do
something like this:
lua mtxlibs.lua --selfmerge foo.lua
and then in your script load foo.lua
this makes it possible to use the same set of helpers in context as
well outside it (alternatively you can just use luatex as lua engine
and mtxrun as script runner which is what we mostly do); this means
that the context distribution provides all kind of means to set up
workflows
I guess you mean m-database.mkiv. But I don’t have a clue on how to
handle it.
I mean, how to ignore the first line and how to make commands from the
so-called cells (A2, B5...; to use them in document combination) reading
an external file.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
