Re: Page number not updating in layer

[Michael Bynum <mdbynum@gmail.com>]

Great that fixed it.  Sorry about the subject by the way.  I thought
it would auto add the mailing list prefix.

I still can't get the total number of pages to work out right if I
have a title page.  I used standardmakeup to keep the title page from
being numbered, but it is still counted in \totalnumberofpages.

\definelayer[headerfooter][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\startsetups layer
\setlayer[headerfooter][preset=lefttop,x=4in,y=1in]%
     {\framed[frame=off,width=1.25in,align=middle,offset=none]{\tfd Page~
                   \pagenumber~of~\totalnumberofpages}}
\stopsetups

\starttext

\startstandardmakeup
\tfd  THIS IS A TITLE PAGE
\page
\stopstandardmakeup

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={headerfooter}]

\dorecurse{2}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext
