but removing the

header=0mm,
footer=0mm,

will redefine the page surface.

What i tried was to specify a margin of 10mm around the text block which has 5 columns.
This works only if the column balance is set to no.
There is probably a good reason for, but i don’t understand it (yet)

What is the correct way to define it?


.F


\setupcolumns[
    n=5,
    distance=4mm,
    balance=yes,
    tolerance=tolerant]
\setupfootertexts[][]

\setuppagenumber[state=none]
\setuppagenumber[state=stop]
\definelayout[WithoutMarginnotes][
    location={duplex},
    grid=no,
    topspace=1cm,
    % height=19cm,
    height=fit,
    backspace=1cm,
    cutspace=0cm,
    leftmargin=0cm,
    leftmargindistance=0.4cm,
    width=fit,
    rightmargindistance=0cm,
    rightmargin=0cm,
    header=0mm,
    top=0mm,
    footer=0mm,
    bottom=0mm
    ]
 \setuplayout[WithoutMarginnotes]
