\totalnumberofpages and \setuparranging [2UP]
Hi all, I'm having trouble getting \totalnumberofpages to display while using \setuparranging [2UP]. What I'd like to do is print a letter, two columns to a page, then cut the page in two so the letter is in long columns with fractional page numbering at the bottom of each column, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4. But what's happening is 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4. \definepapersize[4.25x11][width=4.25in,height=11in] \setuppapersize [4.25x11][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=.75in, width=2.75in, topspace=.75in, top=0in, header=0in, footer=.5in, height=9.75in] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,right},right={~/~}{\lastpage}] \setuparranging [2UP] Removing \setuparranging [2UP] allows \totalnumberofpages to work fine, and upon replacing it, the first run works. But subsequent runs revert back to 1/1, 2/2, etc. This is using the texexec --pdf command. I read through the thread "\totalnumberofpages & texexec --pages=1:2", but being new to ConTeXt, I can't quite make out if that's relevant. Any suggestions much appreciated. - John

In order to get \totalnumberofpages (or \lastpage), the following happens: - First TeX run -> produces.tui - TeXutil -> convert .tui into .tuo - Second TeX run -> reads .tuo The .tuo file contains the needed information. (texexec calls texutil automatically and reruns if needed) If you \setuparranging [2UP], the .tui contains these extra lines: c \utilitygenerationaborted q {quit} which prevents TeXutil from creating the needed information. Why this is done that way, we have to wait for Hans to answer. Workaround: Run TeX once (texexec ....), remove the two lines, run "texutil --ref " and run TeX again (texexec ...) Tobias
Could it be that texexec needs to be run with texexec --arrange Johan 2005/12/15, Tobias Burnus: > Hi, > > John Magolske wrote: > > I'm having trouble getting \totalnumberofpages to display while using > > \setuparranging [2UP]. > In order to get \totalnumberofpages (or \lastpage), the following happens: > - First TeX run -> produces .tui > - TeXutil -> convert .tui into .tuo > - Second TeX run -> reads .tuo > The .tuo file contains the needed information.

Yes, the --arrange option does the trick! Thankyou Tobias and Johan for the informative replies. What a nice system ConTeXt is, it's becoming one of my favorite tools. John
Could it be that texexec needs to be run with
texexec --arrange
