Re: different page sizes on one sheet

[amerke <artur.merke@udo.edu>]

hi rudolf (& list),

thank you for your 'quick hack', it's ok for my current solution. page 
number, margins and background and stuff like grid alignment are still a 
problem ...

but, i suppose, there must be :-) a tiny piece of code in ConTeXt, where 
the rotation of the whole page can be achieved (but still treating the 
page as a landscape page for the above setup arranging layer)

maybe someone knows how to do it and can share his knowledge ... ?

cheers

artur
