automatic page sizes?

automatic page sizes?

[Christopher Creutzig]

Dear everyone,

  I do know that this question has been answered here before, but I've 
not been able to find it in the archive (and my personal copy got lost 
when the harddrive of my previous laptop went berserk).

  How do I make ConTeXt emit a pdf file where each page is just as long 
as necessary for the text on it, up to say 1 meter?  Page breaks would 
usually, but not always, be initiated by some macro or other; footers 
are not used (yet?).

Regards,
	Christopher Creutzig

Just look for pervert idiot on the archive ;-) Perhaps this is what
you need.

 Thanks indeed.  It seems I really need to practice finding the
proper search keywords. :-))

 Oh, by the way: The links inside the archive (e.g., the "previous"
and "next" buttons) for me sometimes(??) have the "@" sign
"spam-protected", so lurker says, "Bad request
(2004...%20%3Cat%3E%20page.html): The given parameter was not of the
correct format. ..."

I guess my spam protection is too eager to munge all @ appearing in
email addresses. I'll look into it.
