page setup
by Hans van der Meer 03 Feb '04

I am trying to typeset 2 A5 pages onto 1 A4 page in landscape format, side by side. Thus typesetting the pages two at a time on one piece of paper, in their natural order, seeing them as a spread. Something like xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x x x 1 x 2 x going on for 3, 4, etc. x x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I do not seem to get that job done. The context code I tried: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[location=doublesided,marking=on,grid=yes,header=0mm,margin= 12mm] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer,location=margin,alternative=doublesi ded] \setuparranging[2*1] % or [doublesided] or [mirrored] The \setuparranging (in the above variations) sends TeX into an infinite loop. Of course [2*2] will not work, it gives booklets of 4 pages instead of 2. Maybe it can be done without the \setuparranging, but I could not find out how. The context version I use is: ConTeXt ver: 2003.12.12 fmt: 2003.12.13 int: english mes: english I would appreciate some help very much. Hans van der Meer

Backup typesetters.

I am negotiating a largish contract with an UK publisher to typeset a technical book, with several tables. The sources will be furnished the customer along with the PDF. They are concerned that if in the future I were not available for any reason what alternate person or persons they could turn to. Those of you who do typesetting and layout for fees and who might be interested in taking over such a task should it become necessary are asked to reply off-list to type(a)wexfordpress.com. I emphasize that this is just a contigency arrangement. I think the customer is just being prudent. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

> 3. Re: Problems running context (Hans Hagen) can you make a minimal failing example? Hans, I've found the problem I was redefining \setupinterlinespace[big] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=numerals] in the text, removing these has solved it. Adam
