Hi all. I was surprised that when I set up (in the MKII and MKIV too) topspace parameter to a nonzero value and the value of the bottomspace parameter to zero value, then the size of bottomspace is the same as topspace size. On the other side, if I set topspace to zero value and the bottomspace to nonzero value, ConTeXt behaves as I expected. Is this a normal behavior ConTeXt? Ie. when bottomspace is zero, then the paper has only the tops and not bottoms? Thanx Jaroslav My minimal example (watch showlayout): 1. topspace is nonzero, bottomspace is zero value: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=2cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=0cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext 2. topspace is nonzero, bottomspace is nonzero value too: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=2cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=1cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext 3. topspace is zero, bottomspace is nonzero value: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=0cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=1cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext
