layout maximal width and height

layout maximal width and height

[Xan]

Hi,

Is it any way to set only left and right margin on layout and that width 
and height of the text are automatically set to the maximal of the 
possible width (that is 
\printpaperwidth-\leftmargin-\leftedge-\leftedgedistance-\leftmarginditance-{the 
same with right margins})?

I think that it will be useful if there were something like:

\setuplayout[	leftmargin=0mm,
	leftedge=10mm, %distance between border of paper and margin
	leftmargindistance=0mm, %distance between margin ant text
	leftedgedistance=0mm, %distance between margin and leftedge
	rightmargin=0mm,
	rightedge=10mm, %distance between border of paper and margin
	rightmargindistance=0mm, %distance between margin ant text
	rightedgedistance=0mm, %distance between margin and leftedge
	width=maximal]

(see the last line)

Thanks,
Xan

Hi Xan,

I think you misunderstood the layout of ConTeXt.

You are looking for backspace and cutspace.

\setuplayout
  [backspace=2cm, % left margin on the page
   cutspace=4cm,   % right margin on the page
   height=fit]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext

My version is too old I think. It does not support "height=fit"

There is no updated documentation that shows this option. Please, update 
wiki and context reference manual

Thanks,
Xan

You've asked a question. You've received help. And now you complain  
that it's not in the documentation and ask other people to update the  
wiki. Why don't YOU do it as a "thank you" for the help you've received?

As an aside: Isn't this something we discussed in Epen? Adding a new  
footer to messages in the list that would refer people to the wiki  
and ask them to post the solutions there?

All best

Thomas

Reference manual lays a bit behind time (but is still the most useful
reference), so this is not the only missing part there. Hans prefers
new challenges to documentation, so it's up to the community to
document new things ;)

You're more than invited to contribute to the wiki!

There was a little discussion about it on the dev mailing list
(subject:Footer for ntg-context mailing list, to encourage feedback),
but Hans should have the final word (and act) about it.

 * Did the solution work? Was the bug resolved?
   Please test and provide feedback for any answers you get on the list!
 * Help us improve the ConTeXt documentation:
   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Contribute [to be written]
 * Please help us collect new files for testing against bugs:
   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test
 * Confirmed and unresolved bugs are collected on

as far as i can see, there is no option to add such a footer in the mail program

Hans,

There ought to be such an option on a page with an address something
like this:

http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/admin/ntg-context/nondigest

If that doesn't work go to the mailing list's page, then to the admin
link near the bottom, then to the non-digest options link near the top.

If you send digests then there's a similar page where you can change
the digest footer.

This should be width=fit.

The depends on the following values:

\setuplayout
  [topspace=3cm,
   header=3cm,
   footer=3cm,
   bottomspace=3cm,
   height=fit]
