Thanks Wolfgang and Thomas, that was it. Now, what if I want crop marks only outside the printed area? As it is now, they appear also where the cutting lines cross each other between the single "pages". That way they'll end up on either the one or the other of the adjacent pages, maybe half a line on both, depending on how more or less precise printer and cutting alignments work.

\showframe % not for the final printing of course

\starttext ~ % Dummy text, I'll work with background layers. \stoptext

Either put a comma after your last assignment marking=on, or move the closing bracket right after this assignment.

Dear ConTeXt wizards, I am currently writing a course. I need some notes in the left margin.

Hi Pablo ! Thank you for your reply. It doesn't work, yet : the compilation stops without producing any log file. For the moment I have two goals : writing this course with a correct and beautiful PDF print and structuring 360 pages with 23 chapters (with greek aristotelian quotations). I am just trying to face the first goal ! I send you privately a sample of what I am trying to do.

A problem occurs : while some words are well printed in italics in the body text (and in footnotes), this is not the case in the left margin with this code : \inmargin[][align=middle]{Cf. Platon, {\em Timée}, 29b.}

Hi Jean-Pierre, you have to define a sans font after the serif font, such as in: \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [GFS Neohellenic] BTW, latest beta versions require force=yes in \definefallbackfamily. Just out of curiosity, do you plan to post the resulting PDF file online? I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
