Hello, In the underneath example, the only way I found to have everything horizontally and vertically centered in the text and margin header, as well as fit into the margin header, is as follows: \setuplayout[margin=3cm] \showframe \def\myText{% % \hfill some text \hfill} %\starthiding \framed[% width=\textwidth, height=\headerheight, align=middle, top=\vss, bottom=\vss, frame=off] {some text}} %\stophiding \def\myMarginText{% % \hfill this is some margin text \hfill} %\starthiding \framed[% width=\marginwidth, height=\headerheight, align=middle, top=\vss, bottom=\vss, frame=off] {this is some longer margin text}} %\stophiding \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] %\setupheader[% % before=\vss, % after=\vss] \setupheadertexts[text] [\myText] [\myText] \setupheadertexts[margin] [\myMarginText] [\myMarginText] \starttext test \stoptext What's the way to get the same result without using \framed and without making the margin wider ? Uncommenting what's commented in the code above centers everything ok, but the margin text doesn't fit.
