I need to insert some example pages from one document into another. Both are 8.5 x 11. I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at the source code. But I still have a few questions: 1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to insert in my document? How? 2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after each such insertion? TIA John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
Hi John, John R. Culleton :
I need to insert some example pages from one document into another. Both are 8.5 x 11.
I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at the source code. But I still have a few questions: 1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to insert in my document? How?
I'm no expert, but here's the way I do it: \externalfigure[filename][page=2] Then, I adjust the clipping to -- for instance -- get rid of the page number of the inserted `figure', as well as of its top and left margins. \clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page hoffset=1.5in, % clip the left margin of the inserted page height=9in, % clip the bottom of the inserted page width=5.1in] % clip the right margin {\externalfigure[filename][page=2]}} And, if you like, you can put all this into a \midaligned{}.
2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after each such insertion?
Well, if you treat the inserted PDF page as a figure, the page number of your main document won't be affected. Just clip the page number (if any) which lies on the inserted PDF page. Regards, David

\clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page
Also can help to specify width and height and factor \externalfigure[filename][page=2,width..,height=.., factor=..] See http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ and search for \externalfigure Actually it seems to me that inclusion doesn't manage things like comments etc. luigi

You can refer to this external doc and include the needed pages as floats: \externalfigure[cursus-pdf][page=1,width=...]. Probably also \startTEXpage \externalfigure[cursus-pdf][page=1,width=...] \stopTEXpage works (untested). if included as float there is no risk that the pagenumbering dos not work. Kind regards Willi
