Metapost: How to get total number of pages?
Hello, it seems that there is 'PageNumber' variable (macro) available within MP code, maybe introduced by 'StartPage', within MP. How do I get total number of pages or last page number within MP (in Ctx: \totalnumberofpages, \lastpage)? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

NOfPages If you had grepped the source for PageNumber, you would have discovered that all of this is defined in meta-pag.mkiv. Thomas
