Re: [NTG-context] Set a block of content at minimum distance from top of page?

Aright, whatever, but does anybody use the positioning mechanism with \anchor described in the Details manual? On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 6:35 PM, Peter Park Nelson wrote:

Hi ConTeXt list,

I have a document with a graphic (logo) in the upper right corner (positioned on a layer and placed as a background). To the left of this graphic are several text elements (Title, Author List, etc.) that don't go all the way across the page. (Currently I have wrapped them in \startnarrower...\stopnarrower -- is there a better way?) But this is followed by an Abstract paragraph that uses the full width of the page.

I would like to ensure that the full-width text never starts high enough on the page that it encroaches on the upper-right-corner graphic. So, I'm looking for a way to protect the graphic, or to force the Abstract to start a minimum distance from the top of the page.

The Abstract can be forced down the page if necessary by manually inserting a \godown[] command before it, but I would prefer a programmatic solution.

Floating the graphic and wrapping text around it does not seem like a good option, because I want to ensure that its position is absolute and it never moves. Also, the Abstract needs to be full-width throughout, so I need to force it to start after the graphic rather than partially wrapping it.

Any suggestions appreciated…

You can use something like the following code but without a example from you it’s difficult to give a answer.

\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\maxaligned\bgroup

       \startframed[frame=off,location=top,width=10cm,align=flushleft]%        line 1\\        line 2\\        line 3        \stopframed

       \hfill

       \tbox{\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=4cm]}%

\egroup

\input knuth

\stoptext

Here's a minimal example of what I'm talking about.

I would like the Abstract to not start until it will be clear of the logo graphic on the right side.

In the real document, I cannot be sure how much vertical space will taken up by text items (Authors, subtitle, etc.) between the Title and the Abstract, hence my question.

Maybe I am thinking about this in the wrong way and there is a different approach? I have more of a DTP background.

\startAbstract But the abstract can continue all the way across the page...\input tufte\par \stopAbstract

\stoptext
