Re: [NTG-context] \start pagefigure not working as expected

[cryo shock]

Hi Andrés,

The problem with \insertpages is that it inserts pages as layers, which
means that header, footer and page numbers will be printed on it as well.
That's what I don't want, and also your suggested link points to me to
\insertpage in my case:

"Please note that the inserted pages will be placed on your ConTeXt pages
like a new "layer", or floating object. This means that your existing
headers, footers, crop marks will still be printed on top of or behind the
inserted pages.
*If you want to insert pages as completely independent pages between your
existing ConTeXt pages, use\startpagefigure
.*"

But the command \startpagefigure doesn't work as described on the wiki...

 I think you need to use \insertpages instead. Check this out:

Re: [NTG-context] \start pagefigure not working as expected

[cryo shock]

Your suggestion works fine for me. I tried \filterpages too, as it is
mentioned on the wiki as well, but the pages then got scaled to the
\setuplayout definitions. I didn't think about using it within the
\startpagemakeup environment though.

So thanks Pablo.

P.S.: I'd still love to know why the simple \startpagefigure doesn't work
as expected as I thought that's what it's there for.

Hi Sebastian,

how about the following code (I don’t remember when, how or where I
found it)?

\starttext
\startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][1]\stoppagemakeup
\startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][2]\stoppagemakeup
\startpagemakeup\filterpages[file.pdf][3]\stoppagemakeup
\stoptext

If you add a non-existing page, you will get a blank page (with the code
above).

Sorry, but I don’t know. Probably I used pagefigure before discovering
pagemakeup.

Just in case it might help,
