Hi All,

I'm new to ConTeXt and am working on a document that needs some text put on each page of output.  I had thought I could use the following but it doesn't work:

\setupfootertexts [SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED LICENSE RIGHTS\\Use or disclosure of this data is subject to the restriction on the first page of this document.]

When I do this, the output is all on one line and clipped off at the beginning and end.  Is there a way to put this text in the footer without clipping it off?

Thanks in advance for any help offered!

maybe this one ?

\setupfootertexts [\vbox{SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED LICENSE RIGHTS\blank Use or disclosure of this data is subject to the restriction on the first page of this document.}]

\showframe \starttext \input tufte \stoptext

-- luigi

Excellent. That works! One follow-up. How would I center the lines? Thanks, Luigi! -- Scot

I tried the \cbox alternative and it works perfectly. Thanks again! -- Scot
