Thanks, that's genius! However, the problem I now have is that the
sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading.
That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts.

[NTG-context] Arranging into Signatures?
(I am still using mkii, which I suspect may matter in this case) I am able to produce rather nice booklets on US Letter paper, printing double-sided two-up pages that fold into a booklet and using texexec --arrange to make it work properly. For documents longer than about 32 pages, it isn't really practical to fold in half. What would y'all recommend if I want to arrange the pages into signatures, each containing about 32 pages, that can then be somehow bound together? An external PDF rearranger might be an option, I suppose. ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Arranging into Signatures?
Hi Michael, Arranging pages is not changed from MKII to MKIV. The possibilities are: % \setuparranging[2*16] %section: one sheet 2 x 16 pages = 32 pages % \setuparranging[2*8] %section: one sheet 2 x 8 pages = 16 pages % \setuparranging[2*4] %section: one sheet 2 x 4 pages = 8 pages % \setuparranging[2*2] %section: one sheet 2 x 2 pages = 4 pages % \setuparranging[2**2] %section: one sheet 2 x 2 pages = 4 pages % \setuparranging[2SIDE]%2 pages next to each other single sided only! % \setuparranging[2TOP] %2 pages above each other, single sided only! % \setuparranging[2UP] %2 pages next to each other, n sheets arranged for a single booklet! % \setuparranging[2DOWN]%2 pages above each other, n sheets arranged for a single booklet! % \setuparranging[2TOPSIDE] %two odd pages on one side, two even pages verso, above each other % \setuparranging[2*4*2]%section of 16 pages: 2 sheets, 4 pages front and backside % \setuparranging[2*2*4]%section of 16 pages: 4 sheets, 2 pages front and backside % \setuparranging[XY] %one sheet with x rows and y columns There is no option to make sections with 32 pages directly based on US-letter paper. Stil what you can do is to compile your document normally without arranging. In a second step you can use texexec to select ranges of 32 pages into a section-1.pdf then in a section-2.pdf etc. In a third step you can arrange the pages in the section-files as usual with \setuparranging[2UP]. On the other hand I suggest to prepare sections of 16 pages. Then you can use the \setuparranging[2*4*2] or \setuparranging[2*2*4] options directly on the whole document. Normally I consider the sections containing 32 pages too thick for getting a nice book with rounded back. Anyhow if you have more than one section you will have to sew them together. This is much easier with 4 sections of 16 pages than with 2 sections of 32 pages.
