Hallo Hans, hello others,

how can I print the number of pages a document has?

Something I miss in ConTeXt is an advanced and full-featured biblographic
module, similar to
BibTeX. I show an example how it might work:

\usemodules[bibliographic]
\bibaddentry[Burnus,T:myExample]
   [title={This is an example for a \CONTEXT
           version of \LATEX's \BIBTEXT},
    author={Tobias P. Burnus}]
\bibsynonym[thisdoc][Burnus,T:myExample]

\bibaddtofile[thisdoc][file=myOwnBibs] % taken care of by TeXUtil

\bibloadfile[file=myOwnBibs] % My Articles
\bibloadfile[file=groupBibs] % Articles of my group or freq. used articles
\bibloadfile[file=standard_bibs, prefix=TEXprefix]

\starttext
\titlepage
{\bibprint[thisdoc][title]}
{\bibprint[thisdoc][author][order=FirstLastName]}

This thesis is taken from \bibref[Burnus,T:Theses], \bibref[Foo,B:Another one].
You will find also something on page 4444 in \bibref[TEXprefix:Knuth:TeXBook].
(printed like [1][2] etc. ^1 ^2 ^3 or [Knut76]. Using 1,2,3... it should be
possible to group them: [1,2,3,5] or [1-3,5]

ConTeXt's bibligraphic modul should also be able to read LaTeX's BibTeX files,
making it possible to use the old one or those of colleagues.

Groeten, Regards and Tschüs,

Tobias

PS: I thought I would use StarOffice 4.0/Linux for a few lines, but somehow the
Typographical
quality doesn't convince. I think I write a small "strip off" perl utility which
extracts the plain text out of a \CONTEXT\ tex(t) file. (I need a plain ASCII
file for another purpose,
but I want to have a nice typeset one, too.)
Using Acrobat Reader for that purpose doesn't work;
"Deutschland 1945--1949 -- Besatzungszeit und Staatsgr"undung " is printet as:
                 ^^     ^^                            ^     ^^
"Deutschland 1945{1949 { Besatzungszeit und Staatsgr\x7f undung"
("u is u umlaut / ü )
