I've skimmed through the excursion, cont-enp.pdf and contextgarden but I 
didn't managed to find \lastpage or \setupbackgrounds. I was trying to 
decide between latex ot context and since I need to start writing I 
couldn't spend too much time on learning a tool that could have been not 
usable in my situation.

I think I'll use context.

Thank you Mojca.

Manuel
