If we need to implement this using layers, does anyone have a recent
example of using a layer to place a running footer outside the crop
marks?
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\definelayer[cropmark][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=cropmark]
\setlayer[cropmark][preset=middlebottom,y=-\lineheight]{Bottom Text}
\setlayer[cropmark][preset=middletop,y=-\lineheight]{Top Text}
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
This works for one page, but when I increase the length of the text to
take multiple pages, the top and bottom text only appears on the first
page. (Again, using ConTeXt version 2013.05.28 00:36 from the TeX Live CD.)
How do you make layers, or backgrounds, appear on every page?
Add “state=repeat” to \definelayer:

  \definelayer[cropmark][state=repeat,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
