How to change the page size for single pages within a document

How to change the page size for single pages within a document

[Stefan Wachter]

Hi all,

is there a possibility to change the page size of single pages in a 
document.

Reason: I have a document that contains some large tables that do not fit on
normal pages. Therefore I would like to output such tables on a page of 
their
own having the neccessary size. (Of course the documents are not ment to be
printed. They are to be viewed with Acrobat.)

Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan

sure, just try:

\starttext

\setuppapersize[A4][A4] \input tufte \page
\setuppapersize[A3][A3] \input tufte \page
\setuppapersize[A4][A4] \input tufte \page

\stoptext

You can also do things like:

\definelayout
  [one]
  [....]

\setuplayout[one]

and have multiple layouts

(instead of one, you can use 'left' and 'right' for left right page 
layouts or use a number indicating the page for which the layout applies)

my local version also has  layout dependent page sizes
