Hi,
say that I, for educational purposes, want to use \showframe for a couple of pages, and then want to hide the frames. What is the correct way of doing this? I have for now added a \begingroup and \endgroup, but then another document parameter that is set inside is cancelled after the \endgroup.
I tried to look in the source, but could not find anything that worked (what I tried with was to use \setupbackgrounds[state=stop], but that was merely a guess, and it did not work).
There is no command to disable \showframe but you don't even need the command to have frames. What \showframe does is to set a few values for the \setupbackgrounds command which can be done by hand.
To make everything a bit nice I put the backgrounds setup in a setup-block and call only these blocks in the document.
%%%% begin example \startsetups[showframe] \setupbackgrounds [header,text,footer] [leftmargin,text,rightmargin] [frame=on] \stopsetups
\startsetups[hideframe] \setupbackgrounds [header,text,footer] [leftmargin,text,rightmargin] [frame=off] \stopsetups
\starttext
\input knuth
\page \setup[showframe]
\input knuth
\page \setup[hideframe]
\input knuth
\stoptext %%%% end example

Many thanks, Wolfgang! This is exactly what I was looking for. /Mikael
