page arranging

[Alex Berger]

Hi,

I'd like to place 2 A5 pages on a A4 landscape page.

I tried with
  \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
  \setuparranging[doublesided]
and some other options. But the best result I got were A4 pages with 2
*identical* A5 pages (was this the "duplex" option?) Now I have no idea
how to get my wanted result---and even less idea why ConTeXt arranged the
pages the way it did... ;)

Thanks,
aberThanks,
aber.

\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2SIDE]
\starttext
\showframe
\dorecurse{7}{\input tufte \par}
\stoptext

But i wonder why there is a third page.... I'll post a comment on texshow-web

This worked fine. Thanks a lot.

But now another problem emerged:
If I have an even number of A5 pages which compiles into an uneven
number of A4 pages (like 10-->5), ConTeXt adds a last (empty) page have an
even number of A4 pages...

How do I stop this (wasteful ;) behaviour??

Thanks again,
aber.
