Following up on the other imposition question, I'm trying to make an example file that shows an imposition schema according to command line arguments. This way it works for the number of pages, as used in \dorecurse{\Pages}{…}, but not for the imposition schema. Typesetting \Schema looks right, but \setuparranging doesn’t work. Where's my error? \def\Schema{\doifelsedocumentargument{schema}{\getdocumentargument{schema}}{1*8}} \def\Pages{\doifelsedocumentargument{numberofpages}{\getdocumentargument{numberofpages}}{16}} \setuparranging[\Schema] Find the full example attached, I call it like context --autopdf=auto --arrange impositiontest.tex --schema=TRYPTICHON --numberofpages=32 Hraban

Hello Hraban, I puzzled a while. To me the —arguments= option does not work. I saw then on the Wiki, that one can also add documentarguments as —schema=2UP —numberofpages=16. I further changed to \startdocument … \stopdocument. Please look at the attached file Willi

Find the full example attached, I call it like
context --autopdf=auto --arrange impositiontest.tex --schema=TRYPTICHON --numberofpages=32

You forgot about expansion and in your case \doifelsedocumentargument is not fully expandable. This doesn't matter for \dorecurse where the number parser ignores the flag because \setuparranging does care and \Schema fails to expand.
\def\Schema{\doifelsedocumentargument{schema}{\getdocumentargument{schema}}{1*8}}
\def\Pages{\doifelsedocumentargument{numberofpages}{\getdocumentargument{numberofpages}}{16}}
\setuparranging[\Schema]
\doifelsedocumentargument{schema} {\setuparranging[\getdocumentargument{schema}]} {\setuparranging[1*8]} It does also help to look at the included extra files (e.g. mtx-context-arrange.tex) written by Hans. Wolfgang

Well, I tried \expanded in a few places, and that didn’t work.

Ok, that works. (Of course, if you say so.)
It does also help to look at the included extra files (e.g. mtx-context-arrange.tex) written by Hans.
Well, I don’t know how to use that, it doesn’t compile on its own, any hints? Hraban
