Printing 3 din lang pages on one dina4 page

Printing 3 din lang pages on one dina4 page

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hi,

I managed to print din long flyers (100mmx210mm with 97mmx210mm fold
page) with 6 pages using a lot of pageshifts etc.

But how can I print one simple din long page (99mmx210mm) three times on
a din a4 page so that I can cut it myself?

The following does not work.

\definepapersize
	[flyer]
	[width=99mm,height=210mm]

\setuppapersize [flyer] [a4]

\setuparranging[1*3]

The option [1*3] does not exist for \setuparranging.
But I thought this could be what I want one sheet three pages.

TIA
juh

Use the XY arrangement method and set the number of columns with the 
nx-key of \setuppaper.


\definepapersize [A4/3] [width=99mm,height=210mm]

\setuppapersize [A4/3] [A4,landscape]

\setuppaper [nx=3,ny=1]

\setuparranging [XY]

\setupbodyfont [10pt]

\showframe[page]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{tufte}}
\stoptext
