Hi,
Some/oftentimes, the more I read the scattered
documentation, the more I'm confused... and
wasting my valuable time testing and trying to
figure out how things work.
Here is, for example, why...
(1) From \showlayout
topspace \topspace
top \topheight
(2) From "ConTeXt An Excursion", page 74
page 71, \setuplayout command parameters
topspace dimension
top (not referenced)
topheight (not referenced)
page 74, table 33.2 parameters for page design.
topspace \topspace
top (not referenced)
topheight \topheight
(3) From "ConTeXt main manual"
page 24, \setuplayout command parameters
topspace dimension
top dimension
topheight (not referenced)
(4) From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout
topspace \topspace
top \topheight
topheight (not referenced)
(5) From http://texshow.contextgarden.net/command/detail/221
topspace dimension
top dimension
topheight (not referenced)
What is
- topspace ?
- top ?
- topheight ?
Please and thank you,
Alan

(1) main layout areas:
keywords to \setuplayout: header text footer
dimension variables: \headerheight etc
(2) space above and below main layout area:
keywords to \setuplayout: topspace bottomspace
dimension variables: \topspace, \bottomspace
(3) virtual layout areas: (used for interactive documents where
one wants to keep the main text area unchanged by setting these;
the virtual areas extend into the topspace and bottomspace)
keywords to \setuplayout: top header text footer bottom
dimension variables: \topheight, \headerheight etc
the system is set up in such a way that one can easily shift the text
area as well as disable header and footer

Pages and pages and pages skillfully resumed in a few, targeted and simple
lines.

Something to consider for the manual updates ?
Thanks a lot Hans,
Alan

A remark from me may be in order: while I am indeed busy working on
some of the manual chapters and by extension it seems that I am indeed
more less in charge of this project, I do *not* keep track of wishlists
or errata except for the chapter(s) I am actively working on myself.
Hints like the one made by Alan above will end up in the void unless
someone (and that someone will not be me) creates and maintains a
wishlist on the wiki or in the contextman project's bug tracker at
foundry.supelec.fr.
Best wishes,
Taco
