[NTG-context] Probably a very simple question, but how do I get a page number to be centered, at the bottom and vertically in the middle whilst having my doc margins?

[NTG-context] Probably a very simple question, but how do I get a page number to be centered, at the bottom and vertically in the middle whilst having my doc margins?

[Felix]

I have the following code that I tried editing with no success 

https://pastebin.com/jT58Z8uY

This has no footer or header but when I add code for a header that is AI generated it outputs a wrong result l, and I tried reading documentation too but didn't really find anything helpful

What I want; everything that is included in the preamble that affects the sizing and alignment, but I want a bottom centered page number that is vertically aligned (it doesn't have to be perfect but I think context can oroabbly do that? I'm a complete novice, sorry). Would greatly appreciate if someone can format this into the doc. Thank you!

Hi,

I am not sure I understand what you want, but if you change footer=0in
to footer=.5in and then add

\setuppagenumbering
  [location=footer]

you will get pagenumbers in the footer. If you need to tweak your
layout more, it might be helpful to add

\showframe

to get a hint on how the page is set up, or even

\showlayout

if you want some more information.

/Mikael

PS You can also play with

\setupfootertexts
  [pagenumber]

or

\setupfootertexts
  [pagenumber]

Hello mikail, I would send a picture to be more clear with what I want but it seems to not be possible, what adding the footer=.5in code does is simply take away .5in from the bottom margin, what I mean is that The bottom margin really just becomes 1in because the footer takes up .5in from the margin setting, 

```
\setuppapersize
   [letter]
   [letter]

\setuplayout[
     backspace=0.5in,
     topspace=0.5in,
     header=0in, % No headers
     footer=.5in, % Space for the footer
     width=middle,
     height=middle,
]

\setuppagenumbering
  [location=footer]

\showframe


\definefontfeature [default] [default] [trep=yes]

\definefontfamily [TimesNewRoman] [rm]        [Times New Roman]
\definetypeface   [TimesNewRoman] [mm] [math] [stixtwo]

\setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt]

\mainlanguage[en-us]

\setupindenting[yes,0.5in]

\setupheads[indentnext=yes] % To get indentation after section numbers, use this

\startsetups document:start
     \centerline{\documentvariable{title}}
     \centerline{\documentvariable{author}}
     \centerline{\documentvariable{date}}
     \blank[line]
\stopsetups

\startdocument[title=Title,author=Author,date=Date]



\stopdocument 
```

I hope this better explains what I am trying to achieve

Hi Felix,

attachments to the list should be less than 100kb.

If you generate your image as a PNG file, it should fit in that file size.

I attach sample image (from the next minimal sample).

Well, the extra half inch is taken from the text body, not from the
bottom margin.

I mean, when you set up topspace and height to mmiddle, bottomspace will
have the same value as topspace.

Here you have a stupid sample:

  \showframe\showgrid
  \setuppapersize
     [letter]
  \setuplayout[
       backspace=0.5in,
       topspace=\topspace,
       header=0in, % No headers
       footer=5in, % Space for the footer
       width=middle,
       height=middle,
  ]

  \starttext
  \null
  \stoptext

Now some comments (just for your info):

> \setuppapersize
>    [letter]
>    [letter]

When both papersizes are the same, I’d say the second one is redundant.

> \setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt]

The default value for font size is 12pt, so this isn’t really required.

> \mainlanguage[en-us]

The default language is US English, so this isn’t really required.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
