Wolfgang> Alternative solution: Wolfgang> \Definelayout Wolfgang> [titlepage] Wolfgang> [header=0pt, Wolfgang> footer=0pt, Wolfgang> backspace=4cm, Wolfgang> width=12cm] [skipping a lot of lines ...] Thank you Wolfgang, it works! However, I tried but did not figure out how to also change the fontsize from within the \definelayout block. Is it possible? I want to change the fontsize to 11pt. I know I could use \switchtobodyfont but I would rather save myself some typing in the future and put it in the \definelayout block -- or something else that does not require me typing it over and over again if \definelayout is the wrong way to go here altogether (/me is still a novice to ConTeXt). Same as for the fontsize -- can I "demand" two columns from within the \definelayout block instead of always putting \startcolumns[n=2] respectively \stopcolumns in the actual source?
