Hi, I think the following can solve your problem, but I don’t know whether it is the optimal way to achieve what you are looking for: in any case you can play with the dimensions used here as an example, in order to find the correct location. Best regards: OK %% begin rotated-text.tex \define\myrotatedtext{% \rotate[rotation=90]{% \scale[width=50mm]{\startcolor[darkred] my rotated text\stopcolor} } } \definelayer[myrotatedlayer] [width=30mm, height=100mm, repeat=yes] \setlayer[myrotatedlayer] [x=180mm,y=100mm] {\myrotatedtext} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=myrotatedlayer] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext %% end rotated-text.tex

I would like to put a (rotated) text on every page in the margin. Please, how do I accomplish this?
