Re: [NTG-context] address labels

11 Jan 2004

      Hi Robert,

while composing my solution to your question Hans was of course faster 
and gives immediately multiple approaches.
You might want to have a look at my solution because it is basically 
intended to print addres-labels.
Because of restriction of the meilinglist the picture is not included, 
but you can simply replace the picture in the
logo definition ...

Success!
Kind regards Willi

Hi contexers,
I am trying to make context do what I want. What I needed this weekend, are
address labels, which I want to fill with my own logo (not the addresse's).
Making one label is no problem, but I rather would like to have context make
and typeset a large number of them on a sheet, to be precise: 9x3 (sizes:
7mm x 32mm).
Does anyone have a clue how this can be done?
Kind regards,
Robert Ermers
