However, I tried but did not figure out how to also change the fontsize from within the \definelayout block. Is it possible? I want to change the fontsize to 11pt. I know I could use \switchtobodyfont but I would rather save myself some typing in the future and put it in the \definelayout block -- or something else that does not require me typing it over and over again if \definelayout is the wrong way to go here altogether (/me is still a novice to ConTeXt). Same as for the fontsize -- can I "demand" two columns from within the \definelayout block instead of always putting \startcolumns[n=2] respectively \stopcolumns in the actual source? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
