Hello.
I am trying to do up some tent style table place holder cards for my
daughter's wedding, and have been wracking my brain for a solution for a
couple of days now.
Having tried many alternatives, this is the closest I have come up with.
But mirroring doesn't work. If I use \setuparranging[2*4] mirroring
works, but I only need tent style (1*2 head-to-head) so that I can trim
to size.
Any template that could be suggested would be most helpful as the
wedding is on Mon (yikes!).
advTHANKSance.

Hi Paavnet,
I think this could achieve what you might need:
\definepapersize[tblcard][width=4in,height=3in]
\setuppapersize[tblcard][letter,portrait]
\setuparranging[2TOP]
\setuplayout[
height=3in,
width=4in,
topspace=0in,
header=0in,
bottomspace=0in,
footer=0in,
backspace=0.0in,
%%
location=middle,
marking=on,
]
\startbuffer[tblcard]
\startframedtext
[frame=off, width=\textwidth, height=\textheight,
align={lohi, middle}]
\tfd A Name
\stopframedtext
\stopbuffer
\starttext
%~ \showframe
\rotate[rotation=180]{\getbuffer[tblcard]}
\page
\getbuffer[tblcard]
\stoptext
I hope it goes on time ;-),
Pablo

There is a arrangement style but it's meant for doublesided cards.
\setuppapersize[A6,landscape][A5]
\setuparranging[1*2-Conference]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]

Many thanks Wolfgang and Pablo.
And, Hans, I have already included this example for the Cookbook (with
the three differing solution), as you will see from the path name of the
attached PDF :).
Wolfgang, I just used your first solution, and it worked great. I don't
know whether the mailing-list daemon will let through a PDF, but I am
enclosing the current (almost final) version of the table place card
(with my daughter's name).
The figure to the left is an Apollonius Gasket of tangential circles
made with MetaPost signifying all the family connections that each
partner brings in creating a new union. The code is from Denis Roegel,
who quickly responded when I was unable to piece together a working
example from his 2005 TUGboat article:
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb26-1/tb82roegel.pdf
I've resorted to layers with explicit positioning for now, as well as
having to compile the MetaPost explicitly and then hand edit out all
references to cmmr in the resulting PS, but at least I have a working
template.
If there are other suggestions to better optimize, I'm all ears. In
particular I would like to place each name vertically centred in right
one-third of the card, as well as using \startuseMPgraphic for direct
compilation from ConTeXt.
Many thanks for all the help.

Simple solution:
\starttexdefinition TableCard #1
\setupTABLE [start]
[frame=off,width=4in,height=3in,align={middle,lohi},style=\tfd]
\setupTABLE [row] [1] [orientation=180]
%\setupTABLE [start] [leftframe=on,rightframe=on]
%\setupTABLE [row] [1] [topframe=on]
%\setupTABLE [row] [2] [bottomframe=on]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD
#1
\eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD
#1
\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptexdefinition
\starttext
\TableCard{Insert Name}
\stoptext
