[NTG-Context] How to compute correct page number for handout
Hello, I'use extensively context to write my lecture notes and for all of my printing needs. For my students, I've made some lecture presentations in color, and I print them in black&white, with four pages on one page for the handout. I would like to compute a correct Table of contents according to the handout : so to divide the current page number by four to get a correct page number for the handout. \def\ChapterPrefix#1{\the\numexpr#1/4 \relax} \setupcombinedlist[content][level=1] \setuplist[chapter][after=,before=,numbercolor=yellow,numbercommand=\underbar,pagecommand=\ChapterPrefix] That doesn't work, and I've some difficulties to figure how computation is performed in e-TeX... Could you help me to resolve this issue ? Kind regards, Pierre-François Bonnefoi. -- Bonnefoi Pierre-Francois | E-mail : bonnefoi@unilim.fr Universite de Limoges, Laboratoire XLIM | Tel : 06 28 18 03 38 83, rue d'Isle | Mrs. Peel, we're needed... 87000 Limoges - FRANCE | The Avengers.

Dear Hans, Thank you to answer my question. I've tried it and I'm sorry to report that this only works in MK IV, that I don't use (I've tried but some of my documents don't translate correctly). From my point of view, I don't know if it is the correct answer because I want to get some altered page number, and I think that I have to alter them "artificially", only for display purpose. best regards, Pierre-François Bonnefoi.

Hello, Your \ChapterPrefix works out of the box with mkiv. Eventually it's easier to solve the problems you have with mkiv, than dividing the page number by 4 in mkii? I don't know... Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
Dear Peter, I run into some problem with font handling in MKIV so I'm stuck in MKII for some time. I've tried the following : \starttext \def\ChapterPrefix#1{% \the\numexpr\number#1/4\relax } \setupcombinedlist[content][level=1] \setuplist[chapter][after=,before=,numbercolor=yellow,numbercommand=\underbar,pagecommand=\ChapterPrefix] \setuplist[section][] \completecontent \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{test} \dorecurse{4}{test \page}} \stoptext In MKII, I get a "Missing number error". I've isolated the problem : the value given to the \chapterprefix by the pagecommand option seems to be a text value and not a numeral value. I've tried to find a function to translate text to number but I've not find it. I hope to get some help. kind regards, Pierre-François. Le 30 sept. 2010 à 14:12, Peter Münster a écrit :

I've tried the following : \starttext \def\ChapterPrefix#1{% \the\numexpr\number#1/4\relax } \setupcombinedlist[content][level=1] \setuplist[chapter][after=,before=,numbercolor=yellow,numbercommand=\underbar,pagecommand=\ChapterPrefix]
manipulating the number that way is just a lucky guess: pagecommand (and numbercommand) get some text passes and it might not even be a number, as it all depends on conversion and special rendering ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
So, I've to forget it... I'm a little bit disappointed that it's not possible. But the waiting time for my students to get the lecture notes is over : I'll give them the handout with no page numbers. Thank you for your support. I hope that I could use MKIV in near future, kind regards, Pierre-François. Le 3 oct. 2010 à 17:12, Hans Hagen a écrit :

you can try to use \structurelistrealpagenumber which is set for each entry ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
But this function \structurelistrealpagenumber is not defined in MKII. ok, ok I've to go to MKIV some day ;-) Le 3 oct. 2010 à 17:34, Hans Hagen a écrit :

A very dirty hack: \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \let\normaltranslatednumber\translatednumber \def\translatednumber[#1]% {\number\numexpr(\normaltranslatednumber[#1]+1)/4\relax} \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{12} {\chapter{Chapter #1} \dorecurse{#1}{\input knuth\par}} \stoptext Wolfgang
