Dear Contexers,
I have succeeded in creating letters on my pdf stationary-1. Beautiful.
Now I want to print the second and following pages on paper with on a
slightly different stationary (stationary-2), as is costumary.
Does anyone how to set this up?
(The example on the wiki is too complicated for me. I sticked to sample
files from Hans Hagen, which makes it possible to use an xml address
database.)
The present set up for the background is given below.
Kind regards,
Robert Ermers
\useexternalfigure[achtergrond][stationary-1.pdf][]
\definelayer[achtergrond]
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=repeat,background={achtergrond}]
\setlayer[achtergrond][x=0in,y=0in]{\externalfigure[stationary-1.pdf]}

An option is to use the logo features but since layers are more fun i will
probably turn that into an optional module some day (is anyone using it?)
put this in cont-new.tex:
\unprotect
\unexpanded\def\flushlayer[#1]%
{\doifelsevalue{\??ll#1\c!state}\v!next
{\global\letvalue{\??ll#1\c!state}\v!start} % dangerous, stack-built-up
{\doifelsevalue{\??ll#1\c!state}\v!continue
{\global\letvalue{\??ll#1\c!state}\v!repeat} % dangerous, stack-built-up
{\doifelsevalue{\??ll#1\c!doublesided}\v!yes
{\doifundefinedelse{\@@layerbox#1}%
{\dodoflushlayerA[#1]}
{\doifbothsidesoverruled
\dodoflushlayerB\v!left [#1]% left
\orsideone
\dodoflushlayerB\v!right[#1]% right
\orsidetwo
\dodoflushlayerB\v!left [#1]% left
\od}}
{\dodoflushlayerA[#1]}}}}
\protect
Then you can say:
\definelayer[achtergrond-1][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\definelayer[achtergrond-2][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,state=continue]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={achtergrond-1,achtergrond-2}]
\setlayer[achtergrond-1][preset=lefttop] {\externalfigure[stationary-1.pdf]}
\setlayer[achtergrond-2][preset=leftbottom]{\externalfigure[stationary-2.pdf]}
\starttext
test \page test \page
test \page test \page
\stoptext
(i added the 'continue' option)

Hans,
Thank you very much for your code. Both types of the stationary come out
smoothly. There is however a small bug in it.
I need a different stationary starting from every second page of my
letter. If my file contains 4 letters consisting of 8 pages, his means
the following:
letter 1 -- page 1 -- stationary-1.pdf
letter 1 -- page 2 -- stationary-2.pdf
letter 2 -- page 1 -- stationary-1.pdf
letter 2 -- page 2 -- stationary-2.pdf
...
The code, however, does the following:
letter 1 -- page 1 -- stationary-1.pdf
letter 1 -- page 2 -- stationary-2.pdf
letter 2 -- page 1 -- stationary-2.pdf
letter 2 -- page 2 -- stationary-2.pdf
...
That's to say, there is only one sheet with stationary-1, all other
pages are printed on stationary-2.
Do you see a possibility to adapt this?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Robert

quick answer:
\setlayer[page][odd][...]{...}

Thanks Hans for your suggestion.
I'm sorry, I tried to apply the code in various ways, but I cannot get
it running. The variables are all gone now [page] has taken their place.
How do I have to apply this code?
Thanks again in advance.
Kind regards,
Robert
