By chance I found a possible, but not very satisfying, solution to the \setupinterlinspace issue when trying to print labels using \setuparranging[XY]. That is to explicitly set \setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]\setupinterlinespace once again outside the \framed directive for the specific label as in the following MWE. I haven't seen any answers on my other two questions from the original post (included down below), so if anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful. MWE: \definepapersize [Label] [width=4in,height=3.33in] \setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait] \setuppaper [topspace=0.4688in, backspace=0.1875in, dx=0.1875in, dy=0in, nx=2, ny=3] \setuplayout [topspace=0in, backspace=0in, margin=0in, width=4in, height=3.33in, header=0in, footer=0in] \setuparranging[XY] \setupframedtexts [width=\textwidth, height=\textheight, alignment=center, frame=off, location=lohi, alignment=center, offset=0pt] \setuplayout[location=middle] \definelayer [Label] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[schola] \setupbodyfont[rm,48pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] \showframe \starttext \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{Label 1}\page \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{\definedfont[Serif at 18pt]\setupinterlinespace \the\baselineskip\crlf A long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page Label 2\page \setupbodyfont[rm,18pt] \setupinterlinespace \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{ \the\baselineskip\crlf Another long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page Label 3\page Label 4\page Label 5\page Label 6\page Label 7\page Label 8\page \stoptext On 22Jun13, ntg-context-request@ntg.nl wrote:
Hello,
I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the "Example" section from the \setuppaper command:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper
to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof label paper.
For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions:
1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the inclusion of the following line in the later:
\setuplayout[location=middle]
which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below.
2. I would like to have every label "centered", i.e., \framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However, including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all labels to inherit this alignment setting?
3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE.
advTHANKSance.
