In my example I can't even get \pagenumber to work correctly. If I replace my \test macro with \pagenumber, the first 4 pages all print page "1" (since it's still the same paragraph). Is there anything I can do about that? (Of course my main concern is the original problem of not catching page breaks to reset a variable). I also can't quite work out a multi-pass solution ... the only way I could imagine how it could work is by storing the content I would like to print together with the coordinates it was printed to in the first run, and in the second run evaluate from these information when a page break occured and modify the data accordingly. But I'm a bit lost here where to start ... my TeX knowledge is rather basic and I don't know anything about the luatex internals so I don't know if there are any events I could hook (and when and where to hook them :-/). I would be very grateful if you could point me in a direction I can work forward from - I can only guess that there are similar mechanisms in the already existing MkIV code ... although the \pagenumber problem seems to indicate that it might be near to impossible :-/ Best Regards, Andreas. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
