Subject: Layers – when do they repeat?
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2021 17:38:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8100DDC3-7D36-4DF1-ACE1-317233D12BEB@fiee.net> (raw)

Hi,
I’m struggling with layers again.

According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and my previous experience, what you typeset on layers appears only once, while you don’t set repeat=yes.

But in my example (derived from a magazine layout where I use this margin layer for subtitles) the margin text is repeated on every page. Same behavior in current LMTX and MkIV.

What did I wrong? Or is it a bug? (The same setup didn’t cause repeats in 2019.)

\usemodule[visual]

\setuplayout[
    backspace=82mm,
    width=118mm,
    leftmargindistance=4mm,
    leftmargin=57mm,
]

\definelayer[leftmargin][
    x=0mm,y=3mm,
    width=\leftmarginwidth,
    height=\textheight
]

\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=leftmargin,state=start]

\starttext

\setlayerframed[leftmargin][
  frame=off,
  offset=overlay,
  width=\leftmarginwidth,
  align={flushleft,verytolerant},
]{Why is this repeated on every page? It should not.}%

\dorecurse{20}{
\fakewords{20}{100}\par
}

\stoptext
