hi, this time fully 'context live' approved, only with natural ingredients and even more tasty. yummy yum :D % engine=luatex \starttext \definelayer[stack] \setlayer[stack][x=0pt,y=0pt]{% \clip[hoffset=0pt,voffset=0pt,width=20cm,height=1cm]% {Clipping some layer text}} %\flushlayer[stack] \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{The cat was too long to fit in this small sentence.} \framed[offset=overlay]{\clip[hoffset=0pt,voffset=0pt,width=110pt,height=15pt]{\box\scratchbox}} \stoptext the second clip uses the width value of the prior clip (20cm). but if the layer is flushed, the second clip works nearly as expected (only frame is missing). interesting. there also seems to be some mess (or only a side effect?) with the setting of \setupsystem[\c!n=2,\c!m=2] sometimes the number one is used, sometimes the number two. must break, it's supper time. regards, peter
