Re: [NTG-context] startTEXpage on A4

      I would suggest the approach of Wolfgang because the standard setting of \framed(texts)’ width is fit and the height setting can be changed to this too. Further I would suggest to use an overlay and a Metafun graphic for the cut-indicators.


\defineoverlay[Cutpointstight][\useMPgraphic{Cutpointstight}]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{Cutpointstight}
		path p;
		p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight;
		draw ulcorner p;
		draw urcorner p;
		draw llcorner p;
		draw lrcorner p;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\framedtext
	[height=fit,
         align={lohi,center},
	 background=Cutpointstight,
         foregroundcolor=black,
         frame=off,
	 offset=3pt]
	{{\tfa HALITGARII EPISCOPI
	 \blank[small]
	 De vitiis et virtutibus
	 \blank[small]
	 Ordinum Poenitentium}
	\blank[small]
	Libri V.}

I hope this solves your issue

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. ;)
