I plan on designed some business cards, but am new to Context. My idea to to have a logo image in the upper left hand corner, with the company name to the right of it. This would be two block elements at the top of the card. In the middle will be the name, and below that the address, tel, etc. -- Regarding the two blocks at the top of the card: Something like the below: logo here Company name here .--------------------------------------. | | | ooooo XYZ Printing Company | | ooooo | This top area is the subject of this mail. | ooooo Card Design & Services | ............................................. | | | | | First_Name Last_Name | All this below the ... line is done. | | | contact information | | | '--------------------------------------' I take this as two blocks aligned horizontally on the 91mm x 55mm card stock. >From my reading the Context options for doing this are: The margins are so small that using \inmarge{\externalfigure[company-logo][width=\marginwidth] } can not work. Which option should I pursue? a.) \startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination a.) \placefigurehere[... force] \startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination c.) \startfiguretext ... \stopfiguretext d.) some other Context mechanism. Any advice is appreciated.
