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
\startmakeup[page] page a \stopmakeup
Good hint. I setup: \definemakeup[rightpage][page=right] \definemakeup[leftpage][page=left] and get empty right/left pages from within my macro. Can I control if the content after a markup starts on a right or left page? Further, if I try to use postponing in a macro, I get errors: --- *** --- Runaway argument? \dorecur\section{K\ETC. \stoppostponing !
