Hi all, is it possible to give a different layout (different margins) for a small part of a page or pages (like a negative narrower)? I should set texts in narrow columns and pictures in wide columns on the same page. Greetings, Bence Nagy

www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -> details.pdf shows a couple of methods (like using edges and margins) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can not answer you directly your question. I would only lik e to suggest that you have a look at the new details.pdf manual. May be that you can distill from this a solution for your problem. I feel that a possible solution is the use of layers... Best wishes Willi

Try this, perhaps it does what you want: \showframe \starttext \input tufte \page \setuplayout[backspace=5cm,leftmargin=4cm,width=7cm] \input tufte \page \setuplayout[backspace=1cm,leftmargin=.5cm] \input tufte \stoptext Patrick
