hi all,

using

\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]

\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
\stoptext

i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5 page is in landscape mode.

is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5 page to protrait, by leaving
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

hi wolfgang & list,

what/where would be a good starting point of implementing such a feature ... ?
do i have to hack ConTeXt source code for this or can it be done with a user 
defined macro?

my plan for now will be: to produce the pages with ConTeXt and produce then 
directly
a PDF file, which will include the generated pages at the right position.

but a pure ConTeXt solution would be nice in the end …
Context has a interface which can be used to save finished pages before the page
is put in the pdf file but what you want can only be done with low level tex 
code.

The difficulty depends on your requirements and your own tex skills to write it.
