Roleplayer, blogger, and full-time dad.
Started roleplaying with AD&D 1st edition and started GMing with AD&D 2nd edition, then became a fan of indie games in the past few years. Particularly fond of GMless and short-form games because they fit nicely into a busy schedule, and are very good for enticing non-gamers into the roleplaying hobby.

Making a centrefold figure Excellent; this makes for nice clean code. (Since I'm doing imposition in the page layout, the centrefold does look quite pretty in the PDF output, too.) |

Altering page setups within postponed blocks Goodness, I really am behind! This doc is an old MkII one, but otherwise I'm using MkIV (though even in that I had to make the above alterations). I guess I need to schedule some mucking-about time soon… |

Altering page setups within postponed blocks TeXLive 2010 for OS X. I had unfortunate breakages trying to update to 2011, and haven't braved 2012 yet. In any case this solved my problem and if it's correct for the up-to-date distribution, that's better—and the comments will help anyone who's stuck with 2010. Accepted! |

Altering page setups within postponed blocks This almost works. If I use [3] instead of [none] in the second define and don't bother with the third, it works. I suspect the [page-number][named-layout] argument format isn't supported. Mind if I edit it to reflect those changes? |

Suppressing pagebreaks within paragraphs @lockstep Right! Yes! I was so busy testing it then getting distracted by SE procedure that I forgot to return to upvote. There you go. :) |

Suppressing pagebreaks within paragraphs @lockstep That does the job! What's the policy on closing when the other question's answers are mostly LaTeX-specific and the sorta-but-not-really-exact duplicate is about ConTeXt? A TEX-native solution works, but context users are going to be seardching with {context} to limit noise. If this was closed as a duplicate and linked to the other they'd find your answer (maybe, being the not-accepted answer on a LaTeX question, they might just close it before scrolling down), but it's not an exact duplicate, is it? Should the answer be duplicated here? |

Making a centrefold figure @Aditya Make that an answer and I'll accept it! \startpostponing has some unexpected behaviours (uses absolute page number, not display page number; \setupfooter doesn't appear to work inside it), but it's exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for and I think I can work around those problems. |

Authoring RPG books in LaTeX: what packages to use? For layout-heavy jobs, it may be worth learning ConTeXt. It's programmatic just like LaTeX, but is built to do the kind of layout work usually done in DTP suites. |

How can I get multiple subject names in the header/footer of a ConTeXt document? In fact, this is exactly the solution that I just discovered, but you beat me to the answer. Thank you! And yes, it does look like headings have a built-in mark, but \marking can be used to override the heading text if a short version is needed. |
