I'd like each page to have an 'indefinite' length, clipped each time at a certain sectionlevel. For example, each page would be a chapter long (yes, not the other way round). TeX can do things like this, but there's the usual 5.7 meters limit (about 25 A4 pages). Of course such a thing only makes sense in PDF production mode, because DVI viewers are not friendly with multiple page sizes per document. So the questions are: (1) How to setup ConTeXt to create each physical page at chapter boundary (within the TeX limit)? (I know PDFs support different page sizes in the same document, so this is fine.) [Things like footnotes & such would become 'marginal'; all float placements would become 'here'; how to deal with columns?] (2) Can ConTeXt+pdf-e-TeX+Perl get around the TeX limit? (By postprocessing an appropriate PDF file.) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
