multi-line headers

multi-line headers

[Kris Hermans]

Hi,

I'm preparing an exam document for my students. What I want is to have on
every page a few lines where they need to fill out the following
information:

Name:....................................
Classroom:...............................
Date:....................................

I tried to do this in the headers of the document, but apparently I can't
put several paragraphs into the text of a header?

What's the trick to solve this one?

Thanks,

Kris Hermans

PS: Is there a command to produce the dots?

I tried it, but I get the following error:

ConTeXt  ver: 2002.5.20  fmt: 2002.5.30  int: english  mes: english

...

Runaway argument?
{\framed [align=normal],width=.5\textwidth ] {Naam: \\ Klas: }\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \dodogetargument was complete.

Multi-line headers

[Design Department]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 328 bytes --]

I need a multi-line header in the right page corner, with content
right-aligned.
\setupheadertexts[nothing on left][line 1 \par line 2] doesn't work.

Is using a \vbox the correct method of handling this?
If so, how?

\setupheadertexts[nothing on left][\vbox{line 1 \blank line 2] puts the
header in the left corner.

\setupheadertexts[nothing on left] 
[{\framed[frame=off,width=fit,align=right]{line1\\line2}}]

Thanks Wolfgang.
Not quite correct yet, though.

The individual lines in your example are aligned flush-left in a box that is
on the right of the page.
I need lines that are aligned flush-right in the box on the right of the
page - the width of each line varies.

I'm trying nested \framed elements, but not having any success.

align=flushright

\setupheadertexts[][{\framed[frame=off,width=fit,align=flushright]{line1\\line
2.}}]

Thks. Works now.

A further minor question:
One of the lines sometimes ends with a period and it would be nice to
have it optically aligned. Is this possible?
The document is a tabular report, so this is a minor point. Just wondering.

align={hanging,flushright}

You would need to enable protrusion first using

\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][pure]

Also see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion#Details

You can use hanging punctuation.
