Dear list,

I have the following number with wrong annotation placement and wrong page number, which would be both on the second page: [...] Could anyone confirm the issue?

\pagenumber is only reliable headers/footer texts or page backgrounds, for everything else you need a multi pass mechanism (save the page number in the first run and provide it in the second).

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I thought this was caused by the deployment of "\placelist[section][alternative=d]". But my new sample shows clearly that this isn’t the cause. My question is now is how to get the right page for the layer in this sample: \definelayer[whatever] [x=3em, y=3em] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=whatever] \starttext \dorecurse{18}{\section{Section}} just a line \setlayerframed[whatever][foregroundstyle=\bf\ss] {layer on the last page?} \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[...] Hi Pablo,

I fear I don't understand what issue you mean, therefore I append my output here.

Many thanks for your reply, Rudolf. The issue is that the layer is placed on the first page, where it should be placed on the second page. This sample shows thie problem in a simpler way: \definelayer[whatever] [x=3em, y=3em] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=whatever] \starttext \dorecurse{18}{\section{Section}} just a line \setlayerframed[whatever][foregroundstyle=\bf\ss] {layer on the last page?} \stoptext I’m afraid that you get the same result, so there may be a bug there.

There is no bug. When you take a look at my pagenumber example you see a few lines at the top show the number of the previous page, this happens because TeX collects more than necessary which means in your example above the layer is placed when TeX was still on the first page.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I’m afraid that TeX is too tricky for me in that case (or I simply think that it is misbehaving there).

In your example you can add \testpage to \section to force a page break when there isn't enough space available to place the heading, this moves also the layer placement to the next page.

I’m afraid this doesn’t work with my real document. I need another approach. This sample reflects my problem: \setupinteraction[state=start] %~ \showframe\showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{41}{one line\par} \ \comment[location={rightmargin}]{comment} \stoptext Since layers are problematic for the task, I insert the comments right after the text (which actually comes from \xmlflush{#1} [XML sources]). I’m afraid that the paragraph before \comment comes from \xmlflush, so I cannot avoid it. This is unproblematic for most cases, but the sample above displays the problem of adding a comment in a new paragraph. It might add a new page. To avoid this issue: how could I prevent the pagebreak before \comment and the addition of a pagebreak above? If that were possible, I could add a \blank[-2*line] that would place the comment right.
