Hi all,
I'd like to position some text in a corner of a natural table cell. I
got as far as being able to put the same text on every cell (a "p" in
the example). Now my problem is, how do I specify the contents of the
overlay/layer on a per cell basis?
Best for me would be if I could define the text directly within the
cell. I'm surely open to a completely different solution that has the
same outcome.
Here's the minimal example of what I currently have.
\starttext
\definelayer  [pagenumber][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[pagenumber][{\directsetup{pagenumber}\tightlayer[pagenumber]}]
\startsetups pagenumber
   \setlayerframed
     [pagenumber]
     [preset=rightbottom]
     {p}
\stopsetups
\bTABLE
   \setupTABLE[each][each][background=pagenumber]
   \bTR
     \bTD multiline \par text \eTD
     \bTD some cell \par with even \par more \par text \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
\bTABLE
  \bTR
    \bTD multiline \par text \eTD
    \bTD[background=pagenumber] some cell \par with even \par more \par
text \eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE
I wasn't clear enough. I still want to have `pagenumber` on every cell,
but I'd like to be able to define its contents within the cell (instead
of having something like "p" hard-coded).

So I'm looking for something like

    \bTD multiline \par text \setlayercontents[pagenumber]{newval}\eTD
    \bTD some cell \par with even \par more \par text
\setlayercontents[pagenumber]{differentval}\eTD

Cheers,
