How to obtain the current page number in ConTeXt?

Question

I want to obtain the current page number, for use in Lua conditionals, e.g.:

\startlua
    if 10 <= \pagenumber < 20 then
        context("The pages are between 10 and 20")
    end
\stoplua

• According to this article on counters at the ConTeXt wiki, I think \getnumber[page] should display the page number in a document, but it does not display anything.
• I thought How to compare two counters using TeX conditionals in ConTeXt? would provide the answers, but \rawstructurecountervalue seems to be undefined in my version of ConTeXt.

How can I display and work with the current page number in ConTeXt?

Answer 1

You can access the current page number with tex.count.pageno.

\startluacode
    if 10 <= tex.count.pageno and tex.count.pageno < 20 then
        context("The pages are between 10 and 20")
    end
\stopluacode

Another thing: You have to combine the two tests with an and. A simple concatenation like in your example does not work.
