Re: [NTG-context] Some questions about context

      Hi Wolfgang,

Many thanks for you help. I solved this problem by simply

\setuplayout[%
     ... ,
     leftedge=20mm,
     rightedge=20mm]
\setupheader[after=\hrule]

It seems that if you give only one argument to \setupheader, it  
applies to the whole header, including the left and right edges. So,  
I just extend the edges off the page (or anywhere I need -- I don't  
use the edges for anything else).

I'll use your \vrule idea to control the line thickness, although the  
\hrule default is about right anyway.

Thanks,

Robin

Moreover, how do you get a rule in the header that extends from the
left of the left margin, right across to the right of the right
margin (including the gaps in between)?

And another question (in other topic): how we can do lines at
header and
footer like fancyheaders in latex?
For your headers try this:
\setupheader
  [text]
  [after=\hrule]
Hi Robin,
I tried to make something working and came to the following three
methods to draw a rule under the header at the whole pagewidth.
If you use ConTeXts default layout with different margins you should
use bigger values for the rulewidth than only pagewidth.
\setuplayout[location=middle,cutspace=\backspace,width=middle]
%\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
%\showframe
\startuseMPgraphic{headerrule}
setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled (\the\paperwidth,\the
\headerheight); draw (0,0)--(\the\paperwidth,0);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay
  [headerrule]
  [\useMPgraphic{headerrule}]
\defineoverlay
  [headerrule]
  [\vrule height\headerheight width0pt%
   \vrule width\paperwidth height 0.4pt\relax]
\defineoverlay
  [headerrule]
  [{\framed[width=\paperwidth,height=
\headerheight,frame=off,bottomframe=on]{}}]
\setupbackgrounds
  [header]
  [text]
  [background=headerrule]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
