Page arranging: 2SIDE, 2UP, 2DOWN, 2*2, 2**2

Page arranging: 2SIDE, 2UP, 2DOWN, 2*2, 2**2

[Marcin Borkowski]

What is the difference between the above?

In particular, do I get this correctly:

(*) 2SIDE just puts 2 pages onto one sheet, in the following order:

1 2
3 4
...

(*) 2UP prepares a booklet

I'm not sure if I understand the rest.  I tried 2DOWN, but got only even
pages (?).  And with 2*2 and 2**2 got the same (?) arrangement, but I'm
not sure what it's for.

Thanks & greets!

BTW: I just wanted to say „Thank You!“ for the 2*2*4 arranging option. 
While our double-side printing able A3 printer pretends to support 
16-page booklet generation, the only way it really worked for printing 
my Thesis was using this ConTeXt option (and --arrange).

Hi Marcin,

At the first CoTeXt meetin i gave a presentation on this subject. But  
I can't find the link on the wiki ;-(

For this purpose I prepared a sample file, with wich  you can easily  
test the different outcomes. I attach this file. I hope that will  
help to answer your questions.

Willi
