simple signature boxes
I now I could use a table to do this but I should also be able to do this with \framed and \startcombination[ cos * rows ]] But no matter what order I give to [ n x c ] the result is always a vertical split and not a horizontal one. I want the left half of the page for a "Buyer's" signature linr and the right of the page for a "Seller's" signature. %%%%%%%%% Mimimal Expample Follows: \starttext { \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \startcombination[2*1] { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Buyer's Signature: } } } { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Seller's Signature: } } } \stopcombination } \stoptext % % End of minimal example\\\ Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You. Henman

You have to add an empty pair of braces after each part of your combination: \starttext { \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \startcombination[2*1] { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Buyer's Signature: } } } {} { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Seller's Signature: } } } {} \stopcombination } \stoptext That's an easy one to miss...

Thank you for ferreting that out for me. Your correction is what I needed. Much obliged. Henman On 2015年04月24日 22:40, Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

Sure, glad to be of help. Just one word about your style of coding, after looking at your example again: you want to be careful with all the whitespace in your TeX code. I don't know if it's relevant in the example you sent, but in other circumstances, it will come back and bite you by creeping into your output. Unless you're sure that whitespace will be eaten up by TeX, put a % at the end of lines and avoid spaces. All best Thomas
