why not?

Just my personal opinion: more keystrokes to type and more options to remember. I prefer Aditya's original idea. -- Peter Münster Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

i guess you didn't try it as suggested ... when set up this way the second argument defaults to samesize unless set otherwise

Right! I thought the \setuppapersize[][samesized] was for the user-document... But in page-lay.mkiv it makes much more sense! Excuse me, Peter -- Peter Münster Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Indeed. This will also work fine.

Did you try \setuppapersize[A5][A5] ? According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setuppapersize second argument (the print paper size) is A4 by default.

About two months back I had requested that the second argument be made optional. Hans had implemented that request, but it does not always work (I don't know if this is a regression over the original implemenetation, or it never worked correctly). Aditya

I doubt if it has ever worked because after i looked at the source for the defintion of \setuppapersize i see that Hans (i mean samesized) code can’t work. Wolfgang

well, it works if one specifies [A5][samesize] but it looks like folks want even more automatism ... so i changed it a bit in the next beta .. i also made middle the default location Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, but [A5][A5] is simpler than [A5][samesize] :)

With the former if the size changes to A6, you only have to change one thing. So in light of maintenance it is better. -- Cecil Westerhof

Hi Aditya, Testing your minimal example: \setuppapersize[A5] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \endgraf} \stoptext it seems that I do get an A5 papersize (ConTeXt version 2011.02.25 22:03, and LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121316). I attach the PDF file for your information (since I don't know how to get pdfinfo…). Best regards: OK On 19 mars 2011, at 18:59, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

With MkII I get

Can this also be added to page-lay.mkii. Will make it much easier to document the feature.
