Re: [NTG-context] help with facing page image
Special thanks to Sreeram, Wolfgang, Bruce, Hraban for help with this
issue, ranging from the simplest 'manual' approach (Bruce) to one that I
must confess I could never have thought of using: definepageinjection
(Wolfgang). Needless to say, all contributions work, with a bit of
adjustment in each case for my particular situation.
The one common factor in all four contributions is the use of setups, so
a light has begun flashing for me: setups are such an important feature
of ConTeXt for solving many problems!
Thanks to all,
Julian

I think that should be easy. Suppose you have images
{chap-cover-1.jpg, chap-cover-2.jpg, ... chap-cover-10.jpg}
each of which appear at the ends of their respective chapters, then the
following achieves what you want (once you point ConTeXt to the right directory
for figures of course):

So we figure out which chapter we are in and then set the layer to the
corresponding picture. Personally, I much prefer to collect all the images into
a separate PDF with:
%%% chap-covers.tex
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\startTEXpage

A simpler solution as you only have 10 chapters might be to 'manually' add the
facing page rather than fiddle with the definition of \startchapter.
For example:
\definestartstop [ChapterPreface]
[ before={\setups{ChapterPrefaceSetup}},
after={\page}
]
% which gives you the commands \startChapterPreface ... \stopChapterPreface
which I put immediately before \startchapter in the text.
% Then use a setup to prepare the page for your image (you may only need
\page[left] but also remember you need to stop page headers/footers etc from
the previous chapter)
\startsetups ChapterPrefaceSetup
\page[left]
\setupheader[state=empty]
% etc
\stopsetups
% If the page setup is complicated then you might need another setup to clean
it up afterwards. In this example there is just the "after=" in the definition.
% Now you can print your images by using:
\starttext
\startChapterPreface
\externalfigure[cow.pdf]
\stopChapterPreface
\startchapter[title={firstchapter}}
...
\stopchapter
\startChapterPreface
\externalfigure[another_cow.pdf]
\stopChapterPreface
\startchapter{title={second chapter}]
...
\stopchapter
\stoptext
Hope this helps.

[NTG-context] APS bib: literals and small error in "pages" field
Hi,
Two things here:
1. There is an extra . on the end of lines 732 and 734 of publ-imp-aps.mkvi
which causes references to be rendered like "p.. 417" and "pp.. 417--418".
2. Suppose I have a literal such as
@literal{company,
text = {Company Name (n.d.) {\it Webpage name}. Retrieved 22 February,
2022, from https://www.example.com}
}
how can I cite this without the (company) appearing in the bibliography
list? For reference I'm using \usebtxdefinitions[aps]

Appreciate your assistance. I'll do my best with what you offer here.
Of course, I've always said these images are at the beginning, not
"the end of their respective chapters" and I've already indicated how
the images are named, simply as Chapter1.jpg and so on, so I'll need
to work around these differences in your example. But with trial and
error, let's hope I get there!
The example below uses a different mechanism to add images at the start
of a chapter. In the example you have to pass the name of image as
userdata argument of \startchapter but in the commented \setuphead
setting you can see how this can be automated.
