Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your new suggestions.

As a matter of fact, I yesterday found the following suggestion (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers):

\definelayer[AddressBg] [location={right,top},   y=6cm,  x=12cm,  color=red,   style=\ss\tfa].

I used this in the sample suggested by you yesterday. The address actually moves to the desired place!

However, the color and style instructions (\ss\tfa) have no effect. I tried to solve that, as a first step, by putting \ss before the \xmlall instruction:

\startxmlsetups xlm:contact
\setlayer[AddressBg]  {\framed[width=55mm,height=30mm,  align=right,background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray]{\ss\xmlall{#1}{/address}}}
\strut
...
\stopxmlsetups

This works (see pdf), but there are probably other and better ways.

Another persisting problem is that the commands are still not ‘expanded’ (see Pablo’s remarks). According to Pablo for some reason there is only one expansion level.

This means that after an \input command, all other commands are not expanded (see pdf).

This also applies to your suggestions (see pdf brieven2mkiv5.pdf): in the Knuth sample text the only command \TeX\, is not expanded either.
