[NTG-context] [ page setup ]

[vm via ntg-context]

What would be the simple preferred way to define a document having not 
just odd and even pages but also alternating width is sets of two.
e.g. two pages with width 118 mm followed by two pages of 178 mm 
followed by two pages with width 118 mm, ...

all hints appreciated

You can define different layouts like

\definelayout[one][width=118mm]
\definelayout[two][width=178mm]

and then activate them for pages like

\definelayout[1,2,5,6][one]
\definelayout[4,5,7,8][two]

To automate this for more pages, try a loop, either with \dorecurse or 
Lua. Calculations are probably easier in Lua.

my current lmtx seems to ignore the \definelayout
what am i missing?

If you are in the middle of a paragraph at the page break where the width
changes, it will  not work.

ok, so the \definelayout will not work for defining alternate (odd/even) 
narrow, (odd/even) wide pages.

Is there an different route?

e.g. manually inserting page breaks and tex/paragraph width?

A proposal based on lmt_parshape, \startshapetext, and \getshapetext.

Be sure to use \endgraf to break the line ==> it probably work only if you stay in the same par.

% 8<---
\setuppapersize [A4]
\setupheader [state=empty, no]
\usetypescript[ibmplex]
\setupbodyfont[ibmplex, serif, 11pt]

\setuplayout[%
     backspace=10mm,
     topspace=20mm,
     header=0mm,
     footer=0mm,
     height=180mm,
]

\definelayout[one][width=98.8mm]
\definelayout[two][width=158.2mm]

[garulfo]

in particular \startsection for example breaks the mecanism

\setuppapersize [A4]
\setupheader [state=empty, no]
\usetypescript[ibmplex]
\setupbodyfont[ibmplex, serif, 11pt]

% \setupinterlinespace[14pt]      % LET DEFAULT

\setuplayout[%
     backspace=10mm,
     topspace=20mm,
     header=0mm,
     footer=0mm,
     height=180mm,
]

\definelayout[one][width=98.8mm]
\definelayout[two][width=158.2mm]

\definelayout[1,2,5,6][one]
\definelayout[3,4,7,8][two]

%=================================================

\startuseMPgraphic{testA}
path p ;
p := fullsquare xscaled 98.8mm yscaled 180mm;
lmt_parshape [ path = p,] ;

path p ;
p := fullsquare xscaled 158.2mm yscaled 180mm;
