Placing table of contents in a frame

Placing table of contents in a frame

[Frank]

I'm trying to move a newsletter from a DTP program to ConTeXt. In this 
layout we have a blue column on the left side of the page with a table 
of contents. I played around with the framed command and layers, but 
did not find a way to put the TOC in a frame at a specific location.

What would be a ConTeXt way of doing this?

Regards,

Frank

Frank ... forgot to mention that you may need to typeset on a grid when
using the following way.

\setuplayout
        [grid=yes]

Frank,

I am also trying to do a similar project. My way not be a good one, but
here is how I am trying to do it.

  Basically, I use columnsets (see manual columns.pdf from PRAGMA) to
typeset my newsletter. I am using a 3 column layout and want a column
containing the "Table of Contents" on the right side (3rd column).

 
  \definecolumnset[example][n=3]
  \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][3][-50] % From Page 1, Column 3, 
					 % remove 50 lines
					 % I will put the TOC on 
					 % Column 3

  \starttext

  \startcolumnset[example]
  \placefigure[fxtb:3*1]{none}{\framed[frame=off, 
                        height=5cm,
                        width=\textwidth,
                        background=color,
                        backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blue\txx\placecontent}}
  \input Newsletter_Final

  \stopcolumnset

  \stoptext
