Dear ConTeXt folks,
having heard nice things about the KOMA script type area I wanted to use it too and tried out the example in the Wiki [1].
% Set binding correction value (mode=BCOR turns it on). \doifmodeelse{BCOR}{\def\bindingcorr{3mm}}{\def\bindingcorr{0pt}}
% Set visible page width. \newdimen\PageWidth \PageWidth=\dimexpr(\paperwidth-\bindingcorr)
% Determine the paper aspect ratio. \edef\Ratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr(2\paperheight/(\PageWidth/32768))}}
% Set the textarea width to 2.6 alphabets. \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\dorecurse{26}{\character\recurselevel}} \newdimen\Width \Width=\dimexpr(2.6\wd\scratchbox)
% Set the textarea height proportional to the width. \newdimen\Height \Height=\dimexpr(\Ratio\Width)
% Set the margin/gutter widths to be equal on a full spread. \newdimen\Back \doifmodeelse{oneside} {\Back=\dimexpr(((\PageWidth - \Width) / 2) + \bindingcorr)} {\Back=\dimexpr(((\PageWidth - \Width) / 3) + \bindingcorr)}
% Set the top and bottom margins in a 1:2 ratio, ignoring headers. \edef\Top{\the\dimexpr((\paperheight - \Height) / 3 - 3\lineheight)}
% Redefine \Height to include header and footer space. \Height=\dimexpr(\Height + 8\lineheight)
% Set up the page layout using the calculated parameters. \setuplayout[ backspace=\the\Back, height=\the\Height, width=\the\Width, header=2\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight, footer=2\lineheight, footerdistance=3\lineheight, topspace=\Top]
\starttext \framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{} \stoptext
I only want to add a page number to the footer [3] and I do not want to use any header [2, and ConTeXt manual]. Therefore I set
\setupheader[][state=none] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={footer}] \enablemode[BCOR]
According to the KOMA-Script manual [4] having just a page number in the footer it should be counted as belonging to the margin. The only way I found out to achieve that was setting `\footdistance=0`.
Is that the “correct” way to comply with the KOMA-Script type area recommendation?
Please find the adapted example attached.
Thanks,
Paul
