How to get the total page number at startup in luatex?
Hi, I've met a weird thing, I can't get \totalnumberofpages in the preamble. But it used to work. A simple test file is ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \dorecurse{\totalnumberofpages}{\setvalue{test::\recurselevel}{:\recurselevel:}} \def\test{\getvalue{test::\pagenumber}} \starttext \input knuth \page[yes] \input knuth \page[yes] This should be \quotation{:\pagenumber:}, but it's \quotation{\test} \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Any suggestions about how to do that? I wanna define each page a macro. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Define your macros *after* \starttext. Wolfgang

Define your macros *after* \starttext. Nice, though it makes some trouble that I should use \appendtoks for a module.
Thanks.
