Hi, I have a new book to design, but I don't know how to do page/content conditional processing). Please help me:) - I want my chapter page (first page of each chapter) to be really distinctive. that is, I define a dark color background, and want all the text on the first page set in white. how can I do that? for example \chapter{hello} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } % all the characters in the first page should white, others should set in black. - I want to insert graphics and images. all the graphics are inserted using \placeexternalfigures. I want all the pages where the insertion happens to be quite distictive (that is, have a very narrow text layout, and leave the large margin for the figures. However, when a page starts, TeX does not know wheter or not an external figure will be placed on this page, so it really has no idea whether this page should be set narrower or not..... how can I do that? Thanks. Yue Wang
anyone can help? thanks.

This must have something to do with the OTR, I'm really not good at that.
By \definecolor[black][r=1, g=1, b=1] you can get white texts which maybe useful for you.

Sounds like an \insert like footnote. Good luck.
Thanks.

Yes. but a footnote on margin...

Took me a while but with the help of the MkII/IV manual I was able to implement the chapter layout. \enableattributeinheritance \newif\ifchapterpage \installpagehandler{color}% {\dowithnextbox {\ifchapterpage \actualshipout {\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=black,foregroundcolor=white] {\attributedbox\nextbox}} \else \actualshipout{\flushnextbox} \fi\global\chapterpagefalse} \normalhbox} \starttext \setuppaper[method=color] \subject{Tufte}\chapterpagetrue \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte\par} \page \setuppaper[method=color] \subject{Knuth}\chapterpagetrue \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext Wolfgang
As you said before, in my problem, this kind of handler could break something
like hyper-links, and I assume Yue wanted those kind of stuffs.
Maybe just a \start(stop)setups which changes the background back to normal
and \prependtoks it to some token list. So is there an \everypage or
\everyshipout
token? Then using \setuphead (I don't know if it's appropriate) or
\appendtoks to
every title page.

I don't think this is a problem for this example because the page dimension are always the same while in the code for you the real and the calculated coordinates are different.

This could be the better method for the background color (when the code is rewritten in a better style) but to change the textcolor you need my other code. Wolfgang

Yes, I noticed that. I added the foregroundcolor part to your code but only pagenumbers are affected. And by appending \setuppapersize [A4][A4,negative] to \afterpage gives a really weird result....

I don't get it, the "once" made me confused. Should that just be "affectedpage=current" or "range={1,2,15}" which will make more sense to me.

well, we have already state=repeat: same background each upcoming page state=start : enable background (calculate each time) state=stop : disable backgrond so we would have state=once : enable background and after this page disable it in this case 'once' is kind of "start" before and "stop" after \page a range makes not much sense as one seldom knows the page in advance so that would then be named pages; however, as we have 25 page areas it would involve more testing then i currently want to do (the otr is already not that fast) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

well, we have already
state=repeat: same background each upcoming page state=start : enable background (calculate each time) state=stop : disable backgrond
so we would have
state=once : enable background and after this page disable it
in this case 'once' is kind of "start" before and "stop" after \page
Cool, I'm looking forward to that.
a range makes not much sense as one seldom knows the page in advance so that would then be named pages; however, as we have 25 page areas it would involve more testing then i currently want to do (the otr is already not that fast)
No we won't know the page numbers so forget mine. There's just one other thing: since we are changing background colors, we probably need the text colors to be changed as well. But by searching the sources, I only get the negative color scheme which is some sort of pdf specials or gs specials. I mean can we just customize such configurations ourselves? Like colorscheme={inverse+0.1} will inverse the color and reduce the RGB value to 10%. Then my little test file could make more useful.
