[NTG-context] book on context?

Is there actually a hard-copy book for ConTeXt? I am using the PDF, 300+ page manual, and it is rather difficult to continually navigate wtih a PDF viewer. I know I could print out the PDF document, but by the time I figure in toner cost and paper cost and the cost to bind it at a local shop, it wo

[NTG-context] setting up even and odd pages

I'm confused on setting up even and odd pages. If I wanted to set up a chapter with the first page one way, and even and odd pages another way, how do I do this? Say the first page must start on an odd page. The right margin will be 1 inch. Now the each succeeding left (or even-numbered) page will

[NTG-context] encoding problem

Was this problem solved? If not, the problem may be in not loading a map file; typescripts take care of this. btw, one you see the light, typescripts are not that hard, see examples in wiki, Bill M's font page and Adam L's myways. Hans >> Hello, I'm working on some XSL stylesheets for tra

Hi Mojca, The most elegant way would of course be to have the document setup with suitable pages. Then you can use the \setuparranging[XY] command, which is basically meant for preparing businesscards and labels. This looks then like \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppapersize [A5,portrait][A4,landsc

I poured over the documentation last night, and I want to make sure I reached the right conclusion in thinking that there is no way to put a different header/footer on the first page in ConTeXt. I know that you can suppress the header/footer by various means, such as: \setupheaders[state=high]
