[Vit Zyka]

Hallo Hans,

sorry for bringing back two old topics, but they are still unanswered:

1) Willy Egger firstly pointed on empty page with zero on the bottom-left
coner of an additional sheet using arranging command. I have tested with
pretty new context (ConTeXt   ver: 2004.3.16) and this behevior still
survived. Run the next test file and see page 2:
%--------------
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
\setuparranging[2TOPSIDE]

\starttext
  \switchtobodyfont[20pt]
  \dorecurse{2}{Page \recurselevel\page}
\stoptext
%----------------

2) It is possible to sort in reverse order? It means the result of next test
file was: C B A.
% -----
\definesorting[address][addressbook]
\setupsorting[address][criterium=all]
\address{A}
\address{C}
\address{B}
\placelistofaddressbook
%-----

Thank you for answers

page setup

[Hans van der Meer]

I am trying to typeset 2 A5 pages onto 1 A4 page in landscape format,  
side by side. Thus typesetting the pages two at a time on one piece of  
paper, in their natural order, seeing them as a spread.
Something like
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x                    x                   x
x         1         x         2        x   going on for 3, 4, etc.
x                    x                   x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I do not seem to get that job done. The context code I tried:
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[location=doublesided,marking=on,grid=yes,header=0mm,margin= 
12mm]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer,location=margin,alternative=doublesi 
ded]
\setuparranging[2*1] % or [doublesided] or [mirrored]

The \setuparranging (in the above variations) sends TeX into an  
infinite loop.
Of course [2*2] will not work, it gives booklets of 4 pages instead of  
2.
Maybe it can be done without the \setuparranging, but I could not find  
out how.

The context version I use is: ConTeXt  ver: 2003.12.12  fmt: 2003.12.13  
  int: english  mes: english

I would appreciate some help very much.

Try this:
--------------------------------------------------
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2SIDE]
\starttext
\showframe
\dorecurse{7}{\input tufte \par}
\stoptext
\endinput
--------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I still wonder why there is an empty page... This is slightly annoying.

With [2SIDE], I don't get an empty page. I do get an extra page with a 
0 down at the lower left corner. And this is annoying.

With [2UP], page one starts on the recto, leaving a blank verso, which 
is what I would expect.

That is true! I haven't seen the 0 in the corner. Where does it come
from? This looks like a bug to me....
