How to really set the paper margin?

Dear List,

The following example results in a pdf that has a wide margin on both sides
despite the \setuplayout :

    \showframe
    \setuppapersize[A4][A4]
    \setuplayout[margin=0cm, edge=0cm, margindistance=0cm, edgedistance=0cm]
    \starttext
    hello world
    \stoptext

Does anyone know how to really set the paper margin?

Thanks!

Best,
Sylvain

Never mind, there's a 'backspace=0cm' to be set.

Hi Sylvain,

This page may be useful: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout

Basically the core parameters are backspace and width, and topspace and
height. Everything else hangs off them.

I was aware of this page but have mistakenly inferred from the figure that
the backspace is an automatically calculated sum of other parameters.

Indeed. Thanks for the information!
