It does: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] % paper size / print paper size \showframe % shows the basic layout \starttext \input tufte % a test file \stoptext (see co-en-04.pdf, on the context beta page, for more info; context supports rotated, mirrored, negated, etc pages as well as page imposition) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

If I'm not completely mistaken this only switches into landscape mode. But Eric asked for a portait mode where the textarea (not the headers and footers) is 90° rotated. This is frequently used for wide tables which fit rotated on the text hight (which is then actually text width). Since this page belongs to the portait formated document the headers and footers should remain on their standard location. (I think LaTeX uses a minipage to realize this.)
