Hi Joel,
I tried to recreate a document with chapters that contain a different
number of pages each:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuphead[chapter][reference=ch\the\numexpr\namedheadnumber{chapter}+1]
\starttext
\dorecurse{180}{%
\startchapter[title={Chapter \namedheadnumber{chapter}}]
\dorecurse{\randomnumber{10}{50}}
{\input zapf\par}
\stopchapter}
\stoptext
The key above is setting a reference for each chapter, so that they may
be retrieved later automatically.
Then you should have the pages for any chapter from its reference with
the following command:
context --pages=ch100 main-file.tex
But I must confess, I cannot get this working. I don’t know what I miss.
If you are on Unix, generating a bash loop would be similar to (once
your main PDF document has been generated):
for i in {1..180}; do mutool merge -o chapter-$i.pdf main-file\
"$(context --pages=ch$i main-file)"
But for that, you need to know first how "--pages=[reference]" may work.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Re: Margins using 2UP imposition schema
Angel,
I used a lot of impositioning in the past.
If you want to have small white space at the outer edge, then do not use
width=fit. Control the inner whitespace with backspace=… Then calculate the
width of the textarea you want and set this value in width=... There is no need
to use cutspace in your approach.

Create a normal document without imposition in A5 and use afterwards the
arrange extra to produce your booklet.
You can get a short information block with an example when you write
context --extras=arrange
in the terminal.

With the \ssd the first number at the top of the second and subsequent pages is

@Muyik: Are you able to use \pagenumber without using \ssd or similar to change
the size? That might be a work-around for you. There is also \userpagenumber.
You can't use page counters in running text without problems because
you're working against the way how TeX constructs pages.
The only reliable way are multipass solutions like the pagestate or
reference mechanism.

1. The usage of the command "\definepagestate " is what I searched for in
previous posts and source files.
I don't know exactly how he used it. (╥﹏╥)
2. I've devised a command that needs to get the current page number to
determine if it's an odd or even page.
This is then used to get a certain width to determine the width of the command
on that line.
Below I designed the command. The code related to this issue is mainly
You have to differentiate between odd and even and right hand and left
hand pages.
When you want to check whether you have an right hand or left hand page
you can use the following method.
To get the correct result ensure you start a paragraph before you set
the flag with \signalrightpage.
begin example
%\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
%\setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}
{\dontleavehmode\signalrightpage\doifelserightpage{\bold{Right
page}}{\bold{Left page}}
\samplefile{lorem}}
\stoptext
end example
To have a check which works for odd and even pages you have to use the
pagestate mechanism.
Even in this case it is important to start a paragraph before save the
current state, afterwards
you can check the stored pagenumber.
begin example
\definepagestate[warichu]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}
{\dontleavehmode\autosetpagestate{warichu}%
\ifodd0\autopagestaterealpage{warichu}%
\bold{Odd page}
\else
\bold{Even page}
\fi
\samplefile{lorem}}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] how do I get the correct page numbers and do the calculations with it?
Thank to all who answered my questions before.
As the title suggests, how do I get the correct page numbers?
For example, in the example below,
the first line on the 2nd page, but the page number showed is 1,
In the meantime, I tried using \definepagestate,
but it didn't seem to work either.
What I can think of is to use citations to get the correct page number.
But it seems that what is obtained is not a pure number,
and it cannot do the calculations.
so ,how do I get the correct page numbers and do the calculations with it?
thanks.
%% start example

Thank you for that, Bruce.
While it is still a hack, as you note, it is less fraught since one does
not have to keep track of the last end note in each chapter.
I would still like to see a real ability to add text to the note collection.

The text to be inserted is of two types. The first is the name of the chapter
from which the following notes were generated. It would be nice to
automatically generate these.
The second type is pseudo-end-notes crediting the book and chapter epigraphs,
which should appear as unnumbered end notes (at the start of the note section
and the start of each chapter's notes). Ideally these would be generated in the
same way as regular end notes but will not increment the note numbers (and
should not, at least in my use case, require cross-referencing or bookmarking).
I can hack the first requirement with:
\define[1]\EndNoteChapter{\testpage[3]
\blank
\midaligned{\tfa{Chapter #1}}
\blank}
in the environment and
\EndNoteChapter{6 How I Saved the World}
at the end of the last end note in the preceding chapter, but this is obviously
prone to mistakes. I would rather integrate the handling into the chapter
heading environment.
I suppose that this hack might be extended to handle the epigraph notes as
well, but it is just a hack.
Has anyone successfully dealt with this before? If not, is there the
possibility of adding similar functionality to \writetolist and such for end
note structures?
Here’s a bit of a hack for the chapter splitting and might also enable the
epigraphs for you as well (not quite sure what these should look like from your

[NTG-context] Re: Complete novice, why does it seem that LuaLaTeX (Compiled via LaTeX Workshop with MikTeX and added packages on Windows) will generate a more compact result than ConTeXt?

Hello, ConTeXt mailing list! I have a question regarding a difference
in the code that I have which uses the same paper size and margin
settings, and also the same indentation rules and font size and font.
It seems that ConTeXt (which I compiled via Windows Terminal, this
*is* the proper way to compile ConTeXt docs, right?) seems to make
text that is less... compact, and I am not sure if this is due to me
not adding features that I **should** have turned on in ConTeXt when
using Times New Roman that is installed by default on Windows. I also
was not able to get a "proper (?)" single quote like when Word or
LaTeX compiles "Don't", that ' is a straight quote in the compiled text.
I also heard that ConTeXT would be much better for typography since
it does have a more advanced typographical engine as the base (and
this is a big reason as to why I want to switch to ConTeXt, pretty
much everything is built in, I just can't understand documentation
that well), and this may be because my code is very basic and I do
not know how do properly do ConTeXt. Is it possible that ConTeXt also
has a more "correct" way of formatting? Anyways, thank you for
reading and taking the time to read this post.
LuaLaTeX code: https://pastebin.com/p5aWxAyK
ConTeXt code: https://pastebin.com/DsMnxMvY
Can you explain what you mean with less compact?
The default baseline distance of LaTeX is AFAIK 1.2 times the font size,
adding
\setupinterlinespace [line=1.2\bodyfontsize]
to the document setup should produce similar results with ConTeXt.
that interlinespace is kind of bad as it can lead to inconsistent line
spacing
[dp \the\strutdp] \dorecurse{"}{%
\ifdim\fontchardp\font#1>\strutdp
\char#1 \space
\fi
}
[ht \the\strutht] \dorecurse{"}{%
\ifdim\fontcharht\font#1>\strutht
\char#1 \space
\fi
}
So, if oen really wants to go that cramped, maybe try
\setupinterlinespace [line=1.2\bodyfontsize,height=.75,depth=.25]

[NTG-context] placement of float captions in margin
Hi, I think this related to Gerion’s problem, but I don’t want to occupy
the thread.
I’m trying to get captions in the (inner) margin.
With the setup below it works for left (even) pages; on right pages, the
caption is placed beside the image, but over the text and not in the
margin. (Yes, the big distance of image and caption is suboptimal, but
leftfloats are worse, and the layout in question doesn’t have much space
in the outer margin.)
If I uncomment %command to use \margincaption, and comment location
instead, the caption is correctly inside the inner margin, but the width
is always that of the left margin, i.e. too small on left pages.
I didn’t find a combination of options that completely works.

* mtxrun —generate

Thank you, but that doesn’t fit my use case: In my ConTeXt book, there are many
long tables of parameters. The caption says “Parameters of \setupsomething”,
but I’d also give hints like “You can also use the parameters of \setupframed,
see p.123.”. I’d like to have these hints only in the first caption, and
they’re different for each table.
It’s not that important, I can move the text somewhere else, but often enough
in ConTeXt there are obscure features for advanced stuff.
If I understand you correctly then this does what you want. It's a bit of a
hack though.

That one's on me, thank you. Unfortunately, this does not fix the main
issue. Checking the MWE's logs reveals that the splitting command found
nothing to split, even if there's enough text for multiple pages. My
best guess is that something goes awry when checking how much vertical
space is available, since uncommenting the filler line leaves no space
for an additional line in the page.

[NTG-context] Re: page number
Charles Doherty via ntg-context schrieb am 26.05.2024 um 11:27:
Dear Wolfgang,
I have a book in preparation with running heads.
Pagenumber marking |marking Pagenumber
The chapter title page has empty headings.
The publisher would like the page number centered on the Chapter title page. I
manage to put it there but I don’t want it to run on the following pages. I
have made various attempts but can’t manage it.
I have
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided]
\setupheadertexts[chapter][][pagenumber]
\setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapter]}][pagenumber]
Please send a complete working example next time.
Can anyone show me code to achieve this?
1. You use \setupheadertexts to set the header for all pages.
2. You use \definetext to create a custom header for the chapter page
and apply it with the header-key in \setuphead.
begin example
\setuppagenumbering
[location=,
alternative=doublesided]
\setupheadertexts
[chapter] [pagenumber]
[pagenumber] [chapter]
\definetext
[chapterheader]
[header]
[pagenumber]
\setuphead
[chapter]
[header=chapterheader]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}
{\startchapter[title=Chapter \convertnumber{Word}{#1}]
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{lorem}}
\stopchapter}
\stoptext
end example

I did not know about margin blocks, they are nice. But is there a way to
place them next to the \startmarginblock invocation, instead of flushing
them all either to the top or bottom of the page ?

TeX was still on page 1 to collect text when it put note 11 into the

happened afterwards.
You can control page breaks to a certain degree with the \testpage
command between paragraphs.

I joined a minimal working example. The lua function
`userdata.sidenotes_save_run` places the notes so that they do not
intersect (the method I actually use is more complicated, but the idea
is the same).
concerning notes in the margin ... did you try the built in magin text

I did, but as far as I know they place the text on the margin next to
the \inmargin invocation in the text, so they may overlap, which is what

[NTG-context] Re: compatibility between \startshapetext and \startsection ?
Thanks you Wolfgang.
If it's not possible to use \blank, it appears that using for example
\strut\par\strut\par is OK (but \par\par is not, )
\dorecurse{5}{
\strut\par\strut\par
\leftaligned{Title for section{\recurselevel}}
\strut\par\strut\par

Please, what would be a \setuphead that removes the introduction of
these "uncompatible" verticals skips ?
I've tried several, but even this one isn't compatible.

[NTG-context] Re: more register questions!
Hello Wolfgang and all,
I have been trying to extend this to handle endnotes. So far, I have not
succeeded; the number is always that of the last endnote.
I could possibly increment a counter for each endnote processed, but
that seems a hack.

I've managed to get a minimum working example. If you check, you'll see the
5th footnote inside a placefigure doesn't render anywhere:
\starttext
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
A}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message

\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
E}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
F}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\stoptext
Is this the correct way to be using the \startpostponing code (see example
below)?
\starttext

\startpostponing
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message

you need to consider the complications of such notes ...
- tex needs to take the notes into account when determining a page break
- it does so by the insert mechanism
- when floats can't be placed they also become inserts (top and bottom)
- when there are inserts in inserts th eproblem becomes more complex (so
notes inside floats)
- in traditional tex deeply burried inserts disappearm less so in lmtx
There are things that are hard to get right. This works:
\startpostponing
\startplacefigure[location=here,title={test \footnote{oeps 1}}]
\blackrule[width=1tw]
here
\footnote{hello 1} and
\footnote{hello 2} and
\footnote{hello 3} done
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{tufte}\par}
Because here the inserts (notes) will migrate but even then one can get
them out of order (unless we renumber, which then is sensitiev for
oscillation).
I occasionally wonder if top floats could be done more directly but
bottom notes still would have an out-of-sync problem

I'd like to write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the
header. That seems to be a bit tricky, at least for me. (I'm afraid that
\getmarking[xxx][top] was intended for that and it is not feasible at all.)
At page 1 the header should read "secA", at page 2 again "secA" (because the
very first text belongs to "secA"), and at page 3 "secC" (because the very
first text (the section title) belongs to "secC"). Unfortunatly \getmarking[][]
does not behave like I expacted.
I understand the keywords of \getmarking in the wiki
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking) as listed below:
• previous: marking at the bottom of the page BEFORE the current page (no page
before then empty)
• next: marking at the top of the page AFTER the current page (no page after
then bottom of current page)
• top: marking at the top of the current page
• bottom: marking at the bottom of the current page
• first: first marking that starts at the current page (no first than behaving
like top)
• last: last marking that starts at the current page (no last than behaving
like bottom)
• current: last stored marking while deciding on pagebreaking between the
current page and the (potential) following page
• default: first
According to these thoughts, I started with \getmarking[Datum][top]. But "top"
seems not to work, there is no difference between "top" and "first", "top"
behaves like "first".
My second thought: Generally \getmarking[Datum][first] would be perfect, so
I've thought something like
\doifelse{\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current
page}{\fetchmark[Datum][previous]}
{\getmarking[Datum][previous]}
{\getmarking[Datum][first]}
could work. (Honestly I don't know how to do "\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the
page before the current page}". The first page would need a special treatment
too.)
But: At page 2 \getmarking[Datum][next] (Nx) contains "secB" but at top of page
3 is not "secB" but "secC". So \getmarking[Datum][next] does not seem to
contain the correct information I need, therefore I don't get any further.
Any ideas: How do I write the marking of the very first text at the current
page to the header?
Thank you in advance, Matthias

[NTG-context] Re: last page number for a list
Hi, Bruce—
This does not quite work—the page numbers are those of the first page of
the chapter, not the last. But thanks for the tip about \writetolist.
Perhaps I can get that to work.
What I need are ToC entries like
AuthorName
ShortTitle 1–6
I need this pagination because one of the requirements of continuous
publication on the OJS is that once an item is published changes are not
permitted. So I cannot go with normal continuous publication since, for us
anyway, items are not processed in strict sequential order (e,g., we may
have, paper+paper+ review+paper...)
If it helps: I currently have
\startFMTitle[reference=\Reference, title={}][itemAuthor=AuthorName,
itemTitle=ShortTitle,...]
\setuplist[FMTitle][state=start, alternative=startendfmpages,
criterium=all,]

Curiously, \at[\Reference]–\convertnumber{r}{\lastpagenumber} and

The overall structure is project-product sort with many components in the

This is probably TMI. The bottom line is that I am truly stumped.

I'm not quite sure what you want to do with these numbers: something like
printing out a contents page but instead of the start page of a chapter it
shows the last page of the chapter?
If so then try creating a custom list and use \writetolist immediately before
each \stopchapter command?
\definelist[LastPages][criterium=all]
\starttext
\completecontent
\page
\completelist[LastPages]
\page

\writetolist[LastPages]{3.}{\namedstructurevariable{chapter}{title}}
\stopchapter
}
\stoptext
But I can't get the number option of \writetolist to work - the "3." above is
ignored. :-(

Hi list,
I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced
mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between
paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by
a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical
position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how
exactly they are aligned.
If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in
LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module
seems to be no longer supported in lmtx.
I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a
completely distorted output.
The pagecolumns environment supports bottom aligned content.

[NTG-context] start/end pages in ToC
Our journal is currently in the process of moving to continuous publication
of items in a given volume as they are ready. This entails re-jigging the
ToC so that it now includes the start and end page numbers of each item. So
far, I have everything pretty much in the right place, but for the page
numbers I am getting only “??”. I am not sure why this is happening and
would be grateful if someone could tell me why or point me to
documentation that explains the problem and how to solve it.
Many thanks in advance.

You can do the following:
\startsetups[doc:header]
\getmarking[chapternumber] \space - \space \getmarking[chapter]
\space :: \space
\getmarking[sectionnumber] \space - \space \getmarking[section]

\startsection[title={This is my section}]
This is a section\par \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth }\input math-kontinuitet-sv
\stopsection
\stopchapter

Caveat: it needs an if...then test around the section number for when a section

[NTG-context] Re: Use of marking
As I understand, Thomas needs a layout in which the header shows something
like
1. Chapter title -- 1.1. Section title (including the numbers! *This is the
important bit!*)
There are a couple things about this:
1. In a section (part, chapter, section, etc.) you can introduce three
versions of the title for that section. title= is the general one and if
nothing else is specified, this will be used in markings (headers or footer
or wherever you want to put therm) and in listings (contents). If you give
those arguments, marking= and listing=, you will get those texts in those
places: marking= on markings (you can call them with \getmarking) and
listing= in the table of contents.
2. As far as I have found, including the chapter/section number in the
marking is *not really a trivial task*. I usually hack something using
\headnumber and \getmarking, like so:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=,]
\setupheadertexts[{\headnumber[section].~\getmarking[section]}---{\headnumber[chapter].~\getmarking[chapter]}]
\setupfootertexts[][pagenumber][pagenumber][]
\setuphead[chapter][header=high]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{
\startchapter[title={This is my chapter}]
This is a chapter\par \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth } \input
math-kontinuitet-sv
\startsection[title={This is my section}]
This is a section\par \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth }\input
math-kontinuitet-sv
\stopsection
\stopchapter
}
\stoptext
But with a caveat: the `header=high` setting in setuphead for the chapter
needs to be included, or you will get a section number in the first page,
even if there is no section. I have not found a better mechanism yet, but
I'm quite sure there is a correct solution for this... I just haven't found
it yet. Checking for the presence of \getmarking[section] with
\doifsomething does not work, or I could not make it work.

\dorecurse{\Pages}{…}, but not for the imposition schema. Typesetting
\Schema looks right, but \setuparranging doesn’t work. Where's my error?
\def\Schema{\doifelsedocumentargument{schema}{\getdocumentargument{schema}}{1*8}}

Sorry for not having answered before, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid I don’t get how \ifcase is deployed with as conditional
(being \ifcase used to give numbers for weekdays or months).
The \ifcase command is the TeX version of a switch statement from other
programming languages.
The first case in \ifcase checks against zero which is shorter than
writing "\ifnum ... = 0".
The semicolon is also mysterious to me, I don’t know what it does there
in plain language.
The semicolon is a undocumented extension (I noticed it in the
definition of \page[quadruple]) of \numexpr in Luametatex for the
modulus operator.
Sorry, I know it has to be simple, but the syntax is too cryptic for me.
Could you write the first line in plain language?
Look at the second example of the Lua code in the example below for each
command (the first example is your version), the third example is just a
condensed version of example 2.
Sorry for asking that. I’m afraid this would be the only way I could get
what \ifcase is doing there.
As was mentioned above I used it as a check when the remainder was 0.

Replying to myself, this is a command to compute next numbers before and

The document in question compiles correctly. Its hyperlinks are correct and

Any suggestions on how to correct or work around this would be greatly

[NTG-context] Fwd: Re: Working with layer sets with Metapost
I just made a strange observation in the output pdf of the attached layer_set.tex, which is that when opening it with a pdf viewer like skim or macos preview and showing miniatures, all pages except the last one show page number 1 (the last showing page number 2). Which was not the case with the output pdf of the attached multipage_metapost_mwe-very_simple.tex. How can I change my code to have proper consecutive page numbering in a pdf viewer?On Feb. 17 2024, at 11:03 am, Emanuel Han via ntg-context wrote:I think I could solve all the problems.

[NTG-context] Re: Working with layer sets with Metapost
Hi,
not sure I get what you are missing. But you can try
setbounds currentpicture to (fullsquare scaled 200) ;
in base. And then do
\dorecurse{5}{
\startTEXpage[offset=1DK]
\useMPgraphic{layerset#1}
\stopTEXpage
}
if that is the looping you are after.

Resp. the solution should be such that each generated PDF page has the same
dimension, the same background colour and a page number and the metapost
content on each page has the same scaling factor.

[NTG-context] Re: Working with layer sets with Metapost
Dear Mikael,
I actually need to keep the \dorecurse mechanism of the mwe (from line 44 on),
because I need the "setbounds currentpicture to TheFrame" and also because I
need page numbering inside the MPpage, as done with draw
textext(decimal(currentime)).
So, how can I use the \useMPgraphic{layerset1} etc. inside the \dorecurse,
assuming I name my layersets "layerset1", "layerset2", "layerset3" etc.?

That's it! Many thanks to Hans, Hraban and especially Wolfgang for his
solution. This environment should become part of ConTeXt!
I have been a LaTeX/XeTeX/LuaLaTeX user for over 30 years and used it to
write my papers during my studies and use it for almost all my writing.
Now I wanted to try ConTeXt and will be glad if anyone can help me. As I
said, I am only a user.
Many thanks and best regards

It’s not unusual to get that impression. It depends on the current

So the problem is still \hfill that the last paragraph is not on
grid in the new and the old version (and comma).
Grid is not as easy as it looks first. Low level tricks like fills
or skips can mess it up.
Maybe \startlinecorrection helps… (No, it doesn’t.)
It also doesn’t help to add a \blank or \par after \vfill.
I know it, i tried it. And I tried \snaptogrid \vbox {}, it doesn't
work too.
Only counting empty rows and set the number in \blank[ *big] works!
You need a fixed space (multiple of the line distance) between the

It’s not unusual to get that impression. It depends on the current

So the problem is still \hfill that the last paragraph is not on grid
in the new and the old version (and comma).
Grid is not as easy as it looks first. Low level tricks like fills or
skips can mess it up.
Maybe \startlinecorrection helps… (No, it doesn’t.)
It also doesn’t help to add a \blank or \par after \vfill.
I know it, i tried it. And I tried \snaptogrid \vbox {}, it doesn't work

Only counting empty rows and set the number in \blank[ *big] works!
You need a fixed space (multiple of the line distance) between the text

[NTG-context] How to Create Asymmetrical Continuous Columns in ConTeXt?
Hi all,
I have a lengthy text that I wish to seamlessly incorporate using the
\input{mytext} command in ConTeXt.
Additionally, I aim to present it in asymmetrical continuous columns, where the
text flows over several pages.
I have tried paragraphs and columns, but in paragraphs, I can't flow text
across several pages without manually breaking it, and in columns, I haven't
found a way to implement asymmetric columns.
How can I achieve this layout in ConTeXt? this is a MWE but it does not work
properly:
\definecolumnset[mymixedcolumn][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:1][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:2][width=7cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[mymixedcolumn]
\dorecurse{5}{
\input{knuth}
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
also is there a mechanism to automatically continue text between desired
frames? For example, is there a way to write a function that, if the text
reaches the end of the line and there is not enough space for another line in
that frame, it continues the text in another frame that is already specified?
in other word How do you make text flow to another part of a page?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Seyal

[NTG-context] Re: conversion from realpage to pagenumber
Thank you Wolfgang,
but my problem is getting back the page of the document starting from a
"realpage" value picked from structures.registers.collected in the .tuc
file.
Anyway, looking at the .tuc file produced by your example, I found that
structures.pages.collected has all the information I need to reconstruct
the printed page number.
Here's an excerpt of the .tuc file:
utilitydata.structures.pages.collected={
{
["block"]="frontpart",
["number"]=1,
["numberdata"]=1,
["prefixdata"]=2,
["state"]="start",
},
{
["block"]="frontpart",
["number"]=2,
["numberdata"]=1,
["prefixdata"]=2,
["state"]="start",
},
...
{
["block"]="bodypart",
["number"]=1,
["numberdata"]=1,
["prefixdata"]=2,
["state"]="start",
},
{
["block"]="bodypart",
["number"]=2,
["numberdata"]=1,
["prefixdata"]=2,
["state"]="start",
},
...
So your answer was not the solution, but it's been the way to the solution.
Thank you again,
Massi

Hi Mikael,
with the solution provided by you, I could work on my graphic which grows from

the summed graphic of p1 to p21 and add the coming p29, p30 etc. to only that

forward).
I don't bother you with my code which is too long. Let's use the mwe provided

the content of p2 not be added on page 3 and forward?

When you have multiple linenumbering blocks in your document you can
ensure the values stay also on the last page with a forced page break before
the block ends, e.g.
\page
\stoplinenumbering

[NTG-context] Problem with \startlinenumbering left and right arguments
Dear List,
In the MWE below, the left and right arguments are not applied in the
last chapter. How can this be fixed?
\starttext
\startlinenumbering[left={[},right={]}]
\dorecurse{5}{%
\startchapter[title={Knuth}]
\samplefile{knuth}
\stopchapter
}
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
Kind regards

What are you using for links to external documents? If just a single command
such as \goto then you might be able to get away with defining a wrapper (e.g.
\myGoto) that does \setupinteraction[state=start,page=name,focus=standard] then
the \goto command then \setupinteraction[state=start,page=fit,focus=standard]
afterwards.
(Assuming calling \setupinteraction that many times does not cause problems in
itself.)

And I attach the two files to setup the font.

\dorecurse{100}{test \im{\frac{#1}{3}} test }
will give more space but it's mostly optical that the math related
spacing looks doferent from regular spaces.

Many thanks for your fast reply, Bruce.
I wanted to reply much sooner, but it was really impossible for me.
>From your explanation, the first link (body to footnote, your point b)
has destination to fit the whole page inside the viewer.
The second link (footnote to body, your point c) has the destination to
reach a position inside the page (where the destination lies). This is
what "focus=standard" should achieve.
In PDF terms (simplified), fit to page destinations are /Fit
destinations and placed destinations are /XYZ destinations.
This sample shows what might be the root issue here:
\setupinteraction[state=start, page=name, focus=standard]
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{Chapter}
a\footnote{b}
\stoptext
ConTeXt handles internally links in categories. For some reason unknown
to me, "page=name" triggers that special operation links contain /Fit
instead /XYZ destinations.
This is similar to the wrong link destinations (fit instead of standard)
from TOC (but not in footnotes [which are right]) when compiled with MkIV:
\setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard]
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{Chapter}
a\footnote{b}
\stoptext
I hope it is clearer now. Let me know if it is not.
My issue is that I cannot avoid having "page=name" for links to external
documents, but this breaks footnotes and other special operation links.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
