* [NTG-context] Structuring a magazine or booklet @ 2024-02-28 14:21 Jean-Pierre Delange 2024-02-28 14:27 ` [NTG-context] " Jean-Pierre Delange 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Jean-Pierre Delange @ 2024-02-28 14:21 UTC (permalink / raw) To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Dear list, I am reading up on how to replace InDesign with CTX when producing a newsletter, using 2 or 3 double-sided A3 sheets containing text in two columns per page (with images). I'm looking for an example of a composition structure. Unfortunately, the wiki page devoted to projects seems meagre. The link to an example given by Hans at the bottom of the page: Hans Hagen (2011) Project Structure, ConTeXt magazine #1101 is a dead link. For example, if I take a notebook consisting of 2 A3 sheets, folded to give 8 pages, the first page, which is an odd page, will be printed on the back of sheet 1, as will page 8. Page 2 is printed on the same sheet, but on the front as an even page. However, note that page 3 (odd) is printed (as an odd page, like page 1) on the reverse of sheet 2. Then pages 4 and 5 are printed on the front of sheet 2, while page 6 faces page 3 on the back of sheet 2. Page 7 is on the same front as page 2 (sheet 1) and finally, page 8 faces (on the back of sheet 1) page 1. My question is this: is there a way to automate the placement of text and images on the right pages with ConTeXt, or do you have to organise everything manually with a layout? Does anyone have more detailed information? I'd be delighted to add this information to the Wiki page. Thank you for your help.

Hi Jean-Pierre, in its simplest form, a booklet may be: \setuppapersize[A4][A3, landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \starttext \dorecurse{28}{\section{Section}\input zapf} \stoptext I think this seems to be what you may be aiming at. Just in case it might help, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
