Dear list, I’m trying to explain the options of \setuppapersize in a book, but I’m not sure they work. With latest beta from 2014.06.15 15:54, this is the results I get with a minimal document such as: \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext I cannot make the options mirrored, rotated, 90, 180, 270 and negative work. Do they work as expected or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear list,

I cannot make the options mirrored, rotated, 90, 180, 270 and negative work.

You have to set the right values for the paper with the second argument when you use rotation and mirroring. \setuppapersize[A5,90][A5,landscape] %\setuppapersize[A5,180][A5] %\setuppapersize[A5,270][A5,landscape] %\setuppapersize[A5,mirrored][A5] %\setuppapersize[A5,rotated][A5,landscape] %\setuppapersize[A5,negative] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext The negative keyword doesn’t work for me, I even tried a minimal example with the internal function but got no result. \setuppapersize[A6] \starttext \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,foregroundcolor=red]{Blue test?}} \negatecolorbox\scratchbox \box\scratchbox \stoptext Wolfgang

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. Now I understand how it works.
The negative keyword doesn’t work for me, I even tried a minimal example with the internal function but got no result.
Many thanks for confirming it. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
