Vertical text in the margin on every page

Vertical text in the margin on every page

[Jilani Khaldi]

Hi,
In a technical report I need to put a vertical text on every page of the 
document in the right margin. This 2 lines text should be written in a 
little font. I have struggled for a while with ConTeXt but could'nt get 
a good result. Any hint?
Thanks!

I have the following in an environment file. In the document I then
\def\workingtitle and \def\workdir, and this text is written in the
left margin. I am sure you will get better suggestions from others who
actually know what they are doing ...

\definecolor[logogray][s=.6]
\definelogo
  [mrc]
  [footer]
  [leftmargin]
  [state=start,
    command=\hbox to 8.5mm{%
      \hfill%
      \vbox to \makeupheight{%
        \hbox{%
          \framed
            [width=8.5mm,
              background=color,
              backgroundcolor=black,
              align={middle,lohi}]
            {\switchtobodyfont[sans,24pt]\rotate{\white\bf MRC}}}
        \vfill%

In metafun-p.pdf there are some other examples (see  pages 159,160 )

Hi,
I found this solution:

\defineoverlay[SN][{\black
\scale[factor=300]{\rotate[rotation=90]{~TR-A02-123456~}}}]
\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=SN]
