Hello, To get the alignment, I had to create three \vbox. Can we simplify this code a bit ? Thank you Fabrice % macros=mkvi \setuplayout [header=3\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight] \setupbackgrounds[header][text] [frame=off, bottomframe=on, framecolor=darkgray, rulethickness=2pt] \defineframed[headerframedleft] [frame=off, align=left, width=fit,height=\headerheight] \defineframed[headerframedright] [frame=off, align=right, width=fit,height=\headerheight] \defineframed[headerframedmiddle] [frame=off, align=middle, width=fit,height=\headerheight] \starttexdefinition MyHeader #where #day #month #year #title #number #time \setupheadertexts [\headerframedmiddle{\\ \ss\sc\bf\red #title n\high{o}\,#number \\ }] \setupheadertexts [\headerframedright{\tfx \ss Lycée JANSON DE SAILLY \\ \date[d=#day,m=#month,y=#year]}] [\headerframedleft{\tfx\ss #where \\ {#time}}] \stoptexdefinition \MyHeader{Seconde}{17}{08}{2017}{Devoir surveillé}{1}{1h\,30m} \starttext \input knuth \stoptext
