Footer including "Page n of m"
I'm trying to recreate an MS Word document in ConTeXt. The reason for this is so the final document won't stand out from the others too much, and also so that I can have better control over the layout. One thing I'm having difficulty with is the footer, which consists of a rule, followed by "Name of document on the left << space >> Page n of m" where "n" is the current page number, and "m" is the total number of pages and is on the right. Is there an automatic way of obtaining "m", and what's the best way of preceding this footer by a rule? Thanks very much, Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://bit.ly/Alasdair Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew

\setupfootertexts[Page \currentpage\ of \lastpage]
and what's the best way of preceding this footer by a rule?
\setupbackgrounds[footer][text][topframe=on] Aditya
Thanks very much! All I had to do was include
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
to stop the page number being automatically included in the middle of my
footer.
cheers,
Alasdair

However, \setuppagenumbering[location=none] doesn't work for me (page numbers are still printed), whereas \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] does. -Alasdair On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 2:19 PM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:

Don’t do this, use \setuppagenumbering[location=none].

Sorry, you need \setuppagenumbering[location=]. The “state=stop” setting isn’t the prefect solution because it stops pagenumbering. You can see this when you replace in Adityas example \currentpage with \pagenumber and \lastpage with \lastpagenumber. Wolfgang
Well, \setuppagenumbering[location=] still prints page numbers where I don't want them. -Alasdair On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 2:43 PM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:
