Subject: [Q] (newbie) typesetting layer to column
Date: Tue, 09 Mar 2004 15:47:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m28yiaulg1.fsf@turin.local> (raw)
I'm giving ConTeXt a first go in typesetting a diploma.
I've figured out that I'd like to try to typeset to a five-column grid.
Most of the stuff should be centered against the third column, while
some stuff should be centered to the second and fourth column.
This makes for a very boring diploma, but that's beside the point at
this stage.
I want 1-inch borders throughout, so before \starttext, I have
\setuplayout[paperheight=29.97cm,paperwidth=21cm,leftmargin=1cm,rightmargin=1cm,header=1cm,footer=1cm,textwidth=19cm,textheight=27.97cm]
(I pretend that marginpars don't exist. I'm sure they'll come back and
haunt me).
Furthermore, before \starttext, I set up the layers I think I need with
\setuplayout[grid=yes,columndistance=12pt,columns=5]\showgrid
\definelayer [text]
\setupbackgrounds [text] [background=text]
(The showgrid is there because I like to see what I'm doing). Then I
have, say,
\setlayer[text][column=3,line=7]{Diploma awarded to}
what do I say in order to have the text centered relative to the
column?
and on a sitenote,
I'd like to have a frame around the entire page. Preferably, I'd like
to be able to place it using numerical coordinates (absolute or
relative, set to a layer or not). Is this, or something close to it,
possible?
thank you,
