Placing text in the margin of a header or the top right corner of a page

Placing text in the margin of a header or the top right corner of a page

[Matthias Weber]

Dear All,

I am trying to place a framed text in the top right corner of each page of a screen document and it looks like (cont-eni)  some
invocation of \setupheadertexts might do the job. Unfortunately, I have only been able to place my text in the margin of the body of the page,
using \margintext. Ideally, I would like to have the framed text box flush with the top and right edge of a page, but any approximate solution or a pointer
to some document to read (that could educate me) will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matthias

Smells like Layers to me. Try this, for starters:

\definelayer[mybg][x=180mm, y=0mm,width=3cm, height=3cm,repeat=yes]
\setlayer[mybg][hoffset=0cm, voffset=0cm]{\framed[frame=on, width=3cm, height=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=black,foregroundcolor=white]{LAYER}}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg]
\starttext
Test
\page
Test1
\page
Test2
\stoptext

Hope that helps :)

Fascinating. Thanks a lot. That is more than I hoped for, and was easy to adapt to what I wanted. 

One small issue: There is a tiny gap between the black layer box and the right margin (in white) that doesn't even disappear when I increase hoffset.
Any chance to make that disappear, too?

Thanks again -

Matthias

I think I see what you mean. It disappeared after I tossed the box 1mm to the right with adjusting the x position:
change
x=180mm
to
x=181mm

Is that it?

Hi,

there are already presets and \setlayerframed. See my attached example.
