Hi. I am using page arranging to print a little booklet, and I would
like to increase the space between the pages. I would like to be able
to manipulate the space between the pages without changing the
parameters for each individual page (margins).
If that's not possible, I'm looking for a kind of specification for
the *inside* margin, so that it's one side on verso and the other on
recto pages. (I just toured a typesetting firm and learned that verso
and recto are odd and even doublesided pages! :)
Here's the kind of code I'm using:
\setuppapersize [A6][letter]
\setuparranging [2*2,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumber [alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout [width=fit,
location=middle,marking=on]
\setuptolerance [tolerant]
\setupwhitespace [medium]
\setupbodyfont [9pt]
\showframe
\starttext
\startitemize[N]
\dorecurse{10}{
\item
{\em Wool\/} is the word.\index{wool} Nothing eliminates fear of cold
quite like warmth. Warmth --- nice, cozy, comfortable warmth --- can make
cold weather seem brisk and exciting! Warmth comes from
insulation. Polartec is pretty good insulation and will do well, but
wool is magical fireside satisfaction in a can: {\it who's bad?\/}
}
\stopitemize

I'm not sure what you mean, but does
\setuplayout[location={doublesided,left}]
not produce what you want?
Groetjes,

Thank you for the suggestion, but that merely moves both of the A6
pages to the left on the letter page.
I would like to keep the A6 pages the way they are now but move them
farther apart on the letter page, relative to one another.
Ah-HA!! It is the backspace after all! I don't know why I thought my
earlier experiments indicated otherwise. I'll be able to use
backspace along with definepapersize to move the text around nicely.

I got some more requests for that. I will look into it soon (next week I'm
off location). Remind me.

Did you try to set backspace=.. in \setuplayout?
Just play a little with backspace, width in \setuplayout as well as
alternative=doublesided or singlesided or {doublesided,singlesided} in
\setuppagenumbering (not pagenumber but ..ing).

But isn't that what backspace does? Or do you mean the ability to
position the pages arbitrarily?

I cut and pasted the warmth text from a LaTeX document! Sorry.

Is there an advantage to "|<| nice...warmth |>|" over
"--- nice...warmth ---", since there are spaces around the dashes?
I thought that the "|<|...|>|" was so that line breaking could occur
between the dash and the text inside the dashes, but the test below
indicates that the same thing happens with "---". Do they have some
other purpose than facilitating line breaking?

When I was experimenting with backspace I must have been doing
something wrong, because I thought it didn't work, but of course it
does work.

The page numbering is working fine. Out of curiousity, what is the
function of \setuplayout[alternative=doublesided] or
alternative=singlesided? I am doing some tests but don't see a
visible difference.

Hi!
I just wanted to try to texexec --make
but I get the following errors
fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'
I set the paths in texexex.ini explicitly, such as:
set ConTeXtPath to /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/tex/context/base
but I still get nothing.
As I'm not really an perl-expert, I'm not able to repair it myself.
BTW, I'm using the latest teTeX-beta.
Are there any variables to be set explicitly in the shell before invoking
the script?
still some clueless...
Meanwhile I'm dumping the format file like in the good ol' days :-)
bye for now,
Wolfgang

Hallo Wolfgang, hi all,

What is in the file $TEXMF/web2c/fmtutil.cnf ?
Maybe you have '#' the before cont-*
(try fmtutil --edit)
> Meanwhile I'm dumping the format file like in the good ol' days :-)
How? fmtutil --all ?
I usually do fmtutil --edit or use texconf to enable the cont-* formats,
When I updated context, I use fmtutil --all or fmtutil --byfmt cont-en
Regards, Gruß,
Tobias

Sure, they handle language specific subsentences. Each languags has its own
way of doing things (--- guilemots etc). Also, when used nested, other
rules apply (also think of |<| |<| test |>| me |>| like situations.) The
same with \quote{} and \quotation{} which also adapt themselves to the
language and spacing.
There's a reason for everything, sorry -)

It can make a difference when you use specific measures. It can sometimes
save you cutting edges.
