but I forgot how to do something like width=\paperwidth-2cm (not like that obviously, but I have forgotten how to do simple addition and subtraction with dimensions in TeX)
See TeXbook p. 118f.
So, how do I set a margin of 1cm all around the makeup area?
Does the following fit your needs? ································································· \newdimen\myborderoffset \myborderoffset=1cm \definelayout[mypage][page] \setuplayout [mypage][ backspace=\myborderoffset, topspace=\myborderoffset, ] \setuplayout[mypage] \showframe \def\docowpage{% \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=\vsize,height=\hsize]}\page% } \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\docowpage} \stoptext ································································· Regards, Philipp

How do I create a page with maximum text width, text height? I tried using \setuplayout with stuff like [textwidth=\pagewidth-1cm], but nothing happens. I need empty pages with minimum margins, just to be able to put other PDF's in that space.
\setuplayout[page], or if you want to do this for only one page, \adaptlayout[page]
