Hi John,
Wolfgang, thanks - but this does not seem to fix the problem. The "last page" appears opposite page 3 instead of opposite page 1.
To be clear, I am looking for a way to specify that content is to be placed on the outside of the cover, i.e. printed on the same side of the same sheet as page 1, when "arranged".
Could you try the following page brake method.
\unprotect
\installpagebreakhandler {newquadruple}% {\ifdoublesided \!!counta\realpageno \!!countb\realpageno \advance\!!counta 4 \divide\!!counta 4 \multiply\!!counta 4 \advance\!!countb 1 \advance\!!counta-\!!countb \executepagebreakhandler\v!yes \dorecurse\!!counta{\executepagebreakhandler\v!empty}% \fi}
\protect
\setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated,doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbodyfont[16pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{11}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par}
\page[8]
\page[8] is useless in this example because you're already beyound the eight page and the argument is useless in this case.
\page[quadruple]
\page[newquadruple]
Well, this worked, thank you! I can safely say I would not have found that on my own... Could I trouble you for a version to take me to the page *before*, i.e. the inside back cover? I now realise I may need to put content there too, and if not I can just do another \page to get to the outside back cover.
Back Cover
\stoptext
texexec --arrange --paperformat=a5a4 --printformat=up test2.tex
texexec test2
you need --arrange only for documents with a table of content, indices ...
OK, but my real document *will* have these - this was just a minimal example. Originally I wanted to put the arrangment commands outside the document, but I then put them inside too in case it helped. -- John Devereux
