Hi Matt. I don't have a total solution, but I think you were much closer than you thought. Matt Gushee said this at Fri, 18 Feb 2005 11:40:22 -0700:
* Use negative dimensions to cause the header and footer to overlap the text area, e.g.:
\setuplayout [...,headerdistance=-0.35in,footerdistance=-0.5in]
As I said, this comes very close to the desired effect, but it seems impossible to correctly align the header text and page numbers with the main text.
How about this: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[width=16cm,rightedge=\marginwidth] \setuplayout[headerdistance=-2\lineheight, header=2\lineheight, footerdistance=-2\lineheight, footer=2\lineheight, height=middle] \setupheadertexts[margin][section][] \setupfootertexts[margin][pagenumber][] \setuphead[section][page=yes] \starttext \showframe \section{one} \section{two} You had it pretty much right, you just need to make sure that the text blocks reach the bottom, a la the grid or \setupalign[line] stuff on the list these past weeks. Actually, at first, I thought this was a job for texttexts (weird, yeah, but in the manual...), but I have not idea how to move those up and down, where you want them. And that rightedge block isn't really relevant here, but it looks nice on the page. :) \section{three} \setuptext[margin][style=bold] \setuptexttexts[margin][section][pagenumber] \section{four} \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
