Hans changed part of the \setuplayout code in the last betas (there are more than you can see in the ctx suite). When context checks the layout (happens with \starttext and when it starts a new page) it test for the following defined layouts: • “<pagenumber>” • “-<pagenumber>” • “last” (is only used for the last page of the document) • “first” (is only used for the first page of the document) • “unknown” • “current” • “odd” and “even” (used for left and right pages) All entries in this list are reserved names but you can also define your own layout but in this case you have to enable it with \setuplayout[<name>]. One of the new features in MkIV is that layout parameters can be inherited, e.g. when you define a layout with the name “one” {\definelayout[one][..,..=..,..]) and another one with the name two (\definelayout[two][one][..,..=..,..]) this will take the values from one of there are nothing set for a value from one and when there is also nothing set for one the global values are used (\setuplayout[..,..=..,..]).

Hi Wolfgang, I modified the example (hopefully in a meaningful manner). I get the desired output with the old beta, but it still fails with todays beta. \setuplayout [width=middle,height=middle,header=0pt,footer=0pt] \definelayout[first] [header=2cm] \definelayout[last] [footer=2cm] \definelayout[current] \starttext \showframe % \checkcurrentlayout % \dorecurse{2}{test\page} % last is wrong \dorecurse{5}{test\page} % page 2 and „last“ are wrong \stoptext Andreas ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

If a layout is specified for the first page (\definelayout[first][...=...], that specification is carried on through all subsequent pages; the layout does not return to the default specified with \setuplayout[...=...] on the second page. If a layout is specified for a single later page (\definelayout[3][...=...]), that specification is carried on too. In the case of header/footer size, the body text overruns the footer area on subsequent pages. In the case of backspace (text width), the first paragraph on the page with the new layout is the default layout width but the rest are OK. (I have seen this width issue mentioned before and it may not be possible to change this behavior, but the header/footer size is a problem for me.)
