\hairline in the header and column rule

\hairline in the header and column rule

Dear all,

I'd like to ask about drawing a line in the header and a line between  
columns.

1)I'd like to add hairlines in the header using before and after in  
\setupheader, but the lines was drawn from the leftend of the  
leftmargin with the textwidth only. So, there is no line at the right  
end of the header. How to make the lines start from the left end of  
the text area?

2) I setup [rule=on] in column setup, but the length of the line  
depends on the length of the text. How to draw the separation line  
from the top to bottom?

Thank you for reading.
Regards

Dalyoung


Here is the code and output.
*******************************
\setupheader[][before=\hairline, after=\hairline]
\setupheadertexts[][text for the header]

\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]

\starttext
\startcolumns[rule=on, n=2]

\setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on,topframe=on]

Doesn't rule=on do that?

\startcolumns[rule=on, n=2]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

Or you could use a background layer, if it is a static element.

Best,

Do you mean you want a line in the middle of the columns for the 
entire page, even if the text does not fill the whole page? I do not 
think \startcolumns can do that. Have a look at columnsets.

Dear Aditya

Thank you for your tip.

After adding the line "\setupbackgrounds[header][text] 
[bottomframe=on,topframe=on]", I got lines of whole length.
However, [rule=on] option only draw vertical line as long as the  
paragraph not to the bottom.

Please test once more using a short paragraph(3-4 lines) instead of  
\knuth.

Thank you again.

Dalyoung
