Ok, some days later I'm still not where I'd like to be (and my deadline is overdue). Let’s resume:
A running text is to be interrupted by spans of 3 pages. Postponing (\startpostponing) works well for that, but I need to switch off page numbering on two of that 3 pages - as far as I tried, \setuppagenumbering as well as \setuppagenumber doesn’t work within postponed sections.
Further, these pages contain full-page pictures, i.e. I need them bleeding off the paper. Normally, \setlayer works well for that, but I couldn’t get layers working within postponed sections.
Since I need these interruptions several times in a very similar way, I \def’ed that postponing stuff as a macro, but get errors that point to expanding problems (I never get those).
I’d appreciate some pointers in which direction I should think/investigate further. E.g. - are there alternatives to postponing? perhaps multi-page floats (but at defined pages)? - is there a possibility for bleeding full-page pictures without layers? - can it work at all to change page numbering within a postponed page span?
maybe \starttext page 1 \page \startmakeup[page] page a \stopmakeup \startmakeup[page] page b \stopmakeup \startmakeup[page] page d \stopmakeup page 2 \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
