Re: [NTG-context] Write to tuc file

Thanks for this as well, Hans. Looks promising. So, this is to select pages or page-ranges for processing?

It's a book that will be published in two volumes, continually paginated. In the end I need two pdf files, but I thought it might be easier to treat

I could also treat them as two individual books, but then I'd have to get the

last page number of volume 1 in volume 2. In the early days of context (more than 2 decades ago) we had a printer where we could inject from different trays and that is why we have a feature in context to mark pages (so that directives for printers could be inserted). This feature survived / evolved into marked pages.

You can do this (oeps.tex):

\starttext

\chapter[one]{One}

\markpage[first] test \page test \page \markpage[second] test \page

\chapter[two]{Two}

test \page \markpage[fourth] test

\page

% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO} % \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}

% \page

% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO} % \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}

\stoptext

So, I was wondering if we can expose that differently.

...

context --pages oeps mtx-context | page : 0001 first mtx-context | page : 0003 second mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth

...

context --pages --page=second oeps mtx-context | page : 0003 second

...

context --pages --page=second,fourth oeps mtx-context | page : 0003 second mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth

But, as you're talking chapters, a variants (with less overhead) is:

...

context --pages --list=one,two oeps mtx-context | list : 0001 one mtx-context | list : 0004 two

Which of course assumes that you have a reference for the chapters.

This --pages feature is in the latest upload.
