Hi Jan, I would say that in this case the answer might be more elaborate than you think. Still, looking at your design I would advise to go for layers. If I understand your comments correctly, then the problems may be caused by the definitions you used. I have here a small application for producing CD/DVD labels, booklets and jewel-case inlays. I send you the files directly. May be this helps to get grip on the matter. Kind regards Willi On 13 Oct 2011, at 14:13, Jan Heinen wrote:
Hello,
I hope the answer is easier than the question :-)
I am a ConText-Newby and am struggeling with the huge amount of ConText-commands.
I want to make a little book with infos and fotos of our friends - and I am afraid, the nice layout I have in mind is to complicated or impossible with ConText - at least for me.
The book will have 40 pages and every page with the same layout. I have posted the layout I want to use as a .png to http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png
Which ConText-commands do I need for this layout? I tried \inmargin - without success. \definelayer and \setlayerframed worked (a littlebit) - though the running text (beneath the headline) runs through the layer.
What seems the easiest way? layers, columns, ?
Maybe someone here has a little example which I can finetune.
Which hints can be given? I would be very happy about a rough structure of the context-code - I think then I am able to do the finetuning with the manuals.
I am working with Linux - so Indesign is no alternative for me :-)
Regards Jannis
