two slides per page

two slides per page

[Jean-Pierre Le Narzul]

Hello,

I'm using Context to make slides in landscape mode.

I setup paper size using the following command : 

   \setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] 

Everything is ok with that configuration.

But, I would like to be able to put two slides per page (one slide
above another slide on a portrait page).

I have tried playing with \setuplayout and \setuparranging but I could
not get the result I was expecting. 

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

There is: 

%D \macros
%D   {setuppagecomment,startpagecomment}
%D
%D This command is not yet documented. Usage:
%D
%D \starttypen
%D \setuppagecomment[state=start,location=right]
%D
%D \startpagecomment
%D \input knuth
%D \stoppagecomment
%D \stoptypen

you can process a presentation style with --mode=comment 

%D When in \type {comment} mode, embedded page comments are
%D processed and put below the page. The default space of
%D 5cm should be adequate but can of course be changed.

\doifmode{comment}{\setuppagecomment[state=start,location=bottom]}

and given that you have added comment blocks, these are typeset 

You can also use texexec to make printouts: 

  texexec --pdfcombine --comb=2*2 yourfile 

(or any n*m)
