Hello,
I hope the answer is easier than the question :-)
I am a ConText-Newby and am struggeling with the huge amount
of ConText-commands.
I want to make a little book with infos and fotos of our
friends - and I am afraid, the nice layout I have in mind is
to complicated or impossible with ConText - at least for me.
The book will have 40 pages and every page with the same
layout. I have posted the layout I want to use as a .png to
http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png
Which ConText-commands do I need for this layout? I tried
\inmargin - without success.
\definelayer and \setlayerframed worked (a littlebit) -
though the running text (beneath the headline) runs through
the layer.
What seems the easiest way? layers, columns, ?
Maybe someone here has a little example which I can finetune.
Which hints can be given? I would be very happy about a
rough structure of the context-code - I think then I am able
to do the finetuning with the manuals.
I am working with Linux - so Indesign is no alternative for
me :-)
Regards
Jannis

Hi Jan,
I would say that in this case the answer might be more elaborate than you think. Still, looking at your design I would advise to go for layers. If I understand your comments correctly, then the problems may be caused by the definitions you used.
I have here a small application for producing CD/DVD labels, booklets and jewel-case inlays.
I send you the files directly. May be this helps to get grip on the matter.
Kind regards
Willi

Step by Step I'm going forward.
This shuld be the result, when I am ready:
http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png
At the moment I try to get the foto into a layer.
Though the layer is definded as 30x40mm and the foto as well
- the foto does not fit into the layer: the layer is a bit
bigger.
See here:
http://www.imagebanana.com/view/29611n9s/FotoinLayer.png
And here is what I did:
\definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=50mm,y=150mm,width=30mm,height=40mm,state=start]
% size is ignored!
\setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start]
\starttext
\strut
\setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][frame=on,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm,align=left]
{
{\externalfigure[jkopp][width=30mm][height=40mm]}
}
\stoptext
How can I fit the foto exactly into the layer?
Jannis
