Why not, if all else fails, do a run of the completed matter to see what the pagination would be, then do something like: \newif\ifhidden % Uncomment this if you want to hide content. % \hiddentrue \ifhidden % . . . preferrably use ConTeXt-friendly pagination % commands; this was taken from a plain old TeX file. % Shove in white space or \phantom{} boxes with dummy text of % equivalent length; ConTeXt likes its own \blank{} macro. % Raw TeX stuff can mess up pagination and spacing. % % I'm not sure if a \vbox to <dimen> {} works well or not here. % Just try a few ways to see. \else % Put all your usual content here. \fi It's a kludge, but it should work in a pinch.
