print many cards (pages) on one A4 paper
Hi,
i want to print many (lets say 2 x 4) file cards on one DIN A4 paper.
I played around with the BusinessCard[1] example. Thats close to
what i need, but all cards are cloned there.
How can i gain the same with 2x4 or 2x5 different cards on one side?
(Sorry for the stupid question its my first context document)
Kind regards,

Here is one option from one of my recent documents ... Document A (badges.tex) creates badges: \definepapersize [badge] [width=8.5cm,height=5cm] \setuppapersize [badge][badge] \setuplayout [backspace=1cm,width=middle,topspace=1cm,height=middle, header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,footer=0pt,footerdistance=0pt] \setuppagenumbering [location=] And then document B puts them together into table: \setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [backspace=2cm,width=25.5cm,topspace=2cm,header=0pt,headerdistance=0pt,height=20cm] \setuppagenumbering [location=] \def\b#1{\bTD\externalfigure[badges.pdf][page=#1]\eTD} \starttext \setupTABLE[strut=no,offset=0pt,split=yes] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=8.5cm,height=5cm] \bTABLE \bTR\b{1}\b{2}\b{3}\eTR \bTR\b{4}\b{5}\b{6}\eTR \bTR\b{7}\b{8}\b{9}\eTR % to get multiple badges of the same kind \bTR\b{62}\b{62}\b{62}\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext But of course you may just as well do both steps at the same time.

\setuppapersize [XY][A4] \setuppaper [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6] \setuplayout [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] \setuplayout [page] \setuplayout [location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext Wolfgang

\starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext
Thanks a lot that worked fine! The dorecurse loop was impressive too.
If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
Should i copy it to examples where i found the BusinessCards?
