Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more
Hello, I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the "Example" section from the \setuppaper command: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof label paper. For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions: 1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the inclusion of the following line in the later: \setuplayout[location=middle] which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below. 2. I would like to have every label "centered", i.e., \framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However, including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all labels to inherit this alignment setting? 3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE. advTHANKSance.

Hello,
I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the "Example" section from the \setuppaper command:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper
to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof label paper.
For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions:
1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the inclusion of the following line in the later:
\setuplayout[location=middle]
which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below.
The setups acts here as a keyword to enable the topspace/backspace keys.
2. I would like to have every label "centered", i.e., \framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However, including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all labels to inherit this alignment setting?
The global settings for \framed are changed with the \setupframed command, the \setupframedtext commands changes the values for \startframedtext.
3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE.
You have to add \par at the end of each paragraph, e.g. \framed{\definedfont[…]\setupinterlinespace …\par} Wolfgang
Thanks for the explanation, Wolfgang. I am, however, getting some strange interline behaviour exhibited using the \par approach. In the MWE below the quoted text, which have both approaches (\par and explicit \setinterlinespace outside the \framed) listed, you will see with the \par approach that the text is aligned slightly lower than middle (so not properly vertically centred), and the spacing below the first line is larger than the subsequent lines.

Use the foregroundstyle key to change the font size: \framed[foregroundstyle={\definedfont[Serif at 18pt]}]{A long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page Wolfgang
