Hi, I thought that \setupbackgrounds[page][state=repeat] would result in placing the defined background on every page. - It seems that I miss something or the mechanism is broken. Se attached sample-file. This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.50.0-2009122422 Context current version: 2010.01.25 11:09 The example gives the page background on the first page only with MKII as well as with MKIV. Willi
