Re: multi-page floats

[Henning Hraban Ramm <hraban@fiee.net>]

Ok, some days later I'm still not where I'd like to be (and my  
deadline is overdue).
Let’s resume:

A running text is to be interrupted by spans of 3 pages.
Postponing (\startpostponing) works well for that, but I need to  
switch off page numbering on two of that 3 pages - as far as I tried,  
\setuppagenumbering as well as \setuppagenumber doesn’t work within  
postponed sections.

Further, these pages contain full-page pictures, i.e. I need them  
bleeding off the paper.
Normally, \setlayer works well for that, but I couldn’t get layers  
working within postponed sections.

Since I need these interruptions several times in a very similar way,  
I \def’ed that postponing stuff as a macro, but get errors that point  
to expanding problems (I never get those).

I’d appreciate some pointers in which direction I should think/ 
investigate further.
E.g.
- are there alternatives to postponing? perhaps multi-page floats (but  
at defined pages)?
- is there a possibility for bleeding full-page pictures without layers?
- can it work at all to change page numbering within a postponed page  
span?


Greetlings, Hraban
