And here comes question 2, a very basic one: on A4 landscape pages, I want to place two images next to each other (like the spread pages of a book). What would be the preferred way of the really competent users to do this, again keeping in mind that I want to loop over page numbers in a pdf file and thus am coding in Lua. So far, I have tried or thought about:
1. Embedded xtable
This is what I’m using now, an xtable of two columns for every A4 page. It works, but I wonder if it’s a good method.
2. combinations
This appeared to be the most natural approach (because it’s what combinations are for), but I ran into expansion problems, added a few “function () end” in my code, but couldn’t make it compile. Combinations, combined with framed and externalfigure, are difficult to write in Lua - or am I too stupid to find the winning combination (sorry for the puns).
3. columns
Again, this would seen like a natural approach, having every A4 page set up as two columns, but maybe that’s overkill?
I’d be curious to know what you think!
All best
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Not sure whether it helps or not, but in regards to combinations and Lua I
have had some challenges as well, but Hans' and Wolfgangs' solution with
externalfigures works fine for me now:

Thank you, that’s already very useful! I should have looked if there is a “delayed” alternative for externalfigure as well, but I also take Hans’s warning to heart that all of this is non-trivial.
Thank you, best wishes
Thomas

Hi,
is it possible to combine figuresymbol with some kind of \useurl?
The goal is to have an inline symbol that provides a http url link.
Best wishes,
Steffen

AFAIK there’s nothing ready-made in that regard, but just define your
own macro.
E.g. I use:
\define[1]\Web{\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(https://#1)]\autoinsertnextspace}
\define[1]\Email{\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(mailto:#1)]\autoinsertnextspace}
\define[1]\WebQR{\inouter[scope=local]{\barcode[alternative=qr code,
text={#1}, width=10mm]}\Web{#1}}
\define[1]\WebArrow{\symbol[wingdings
3][barb1right]~{\em\hyphenatedurl{#1}}}
So I guess you’d like something like:
\define[1]\Link{\goto{\symbol[wingdings
3][barb1right]}[url(https://#1)]\autoinsertnextspace}

Unfortunately I have to use it at a heading:
and this gives an error:

Did you try to use it with a parameter?

shouldn't you pass some argument to your \Link macro?
