I'm trying to recreate an MS Word document in ConTeXt. The reason for this
is so the final document won't stand out from the others too much, and also
so that I can have better control over the layout.
One thing I'm having difficulty with is the footer, which consists of a
rule, followed by
"Name of document on the left << space >> Page n of m"
where "n" is the current page number, and "m" is the total number of pages
and is on the right. Is there an automatic way of obtaining "m", and what's
the best way of preceding this footer by a rule?
Thanks very much,
Alasdair

\setupbackgrounds[footer][text][topframe=on]

Thanks very much! All I had to do was include
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
to stop the page number being automatically included in the middle of my
footer.
cheers,
Alasdair

Don’t do this, use \setuppagenumbering[location=none].

However,
\setuppagenumbering[location=none]
doesn't work for me (page numbers are still printed), whereas
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
does.

Sorry, you need \setuppagenumbering[location=].
The “state=stop” setting isn’t the prefect solution because it stops
pagenumbering. You can see this when you replace in Adityas example
\currentpage with \pagenumber and \lastpage with \lastpagenumber.

Well,
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
still prints page numbers where I don't want them.
