Hello, I've done it in LaTeX, worked very well, these were my first lines: \documentclass[portrait,a0]{a0poster} \usepackage{multicol,pstricks,textpos} Should work with ConTeXt also without much problems. > I need two things > 1) set a backgroud for the paper (A0 size) with gradient color You can make the gradient at least with MetaFun or PStricks. Making backgrounds is easy with ConTeXt, see for example the mail about "draft stamp" 3 weeks ago. > 2) Deal with textblocks (like the textpos package of latex).
