Re: [NTG-context] Layers – when do they repeat?

21 Jul 2021


      Hi, this is still unresolved.
I worked around the unwanted repeating layer by resetting them explicitely after the first page, but that should not be necessary.

Hi,
I’m struggling with layers again.
According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and my previous experience, what you typeset on layers appears only once, while you don’t set repeat=yes.
But in my example (derived from a magazine layout where I use this margin layer for subtitles) the margin text is repeated on every page. Same behavior in current LMTX and MkIV.
What did I wrong? Or is it a bug? (The same setup didn’t cause repeats in 2019.)
