Hi,

is there a way to have something like

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]

but have the "inner paper size" be a computed fit like in \startTEXpage?

Or, alternatively, is there is a way to print crop marks around an environment like \startTEXpage?

Can you be more concrete what your goal is, there are a few ways to solve your problem but with a few more information we can give you a good solution. Say I want to print some stickers or paper strips of non-fixed size, and get crop marks around them to know where to cut. With \setuppapersize and \setuparranging I can do this nicely if I know the size in advance, but in some cases I don't.

\definepapersize [label] [width=6cm, height=25mm]

But that requires knowing the size in advance. Think of the labels in a museum that depend how long the description is. ;) -- Leah Neukirchen https://leahneukirchen.org/
