Hi Aditya, I tried to typeset your example, but got an error: whether or not the command % macros=mkvi is present on the fist line, then ConTeXt complains saying that ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \MyHeader and stops typesetting pointing to the command \stoptexdefinition. What am I missing here? Thanks for your attention: OK

Hello, To get the alignment, I had to create three \vbox. Can we simplify this code a bit ? Thank you Fabrice

Use the optional argument of the new framed you defined.

In addition to that, you can also simplify other things as well. This is how I would have done it:

% macros=mkvi \showframe

\setuplayout [header=3\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight]

\setupbackgrounds [header] [text] [ frame=off, bottomframe=on, framecolor=darkgray, rulethickness=2pt, ]

\defineframed[headerframed] [ frame=off, % For visualization set this to on height=fit, width=fit, location=bottom, boffset=\lineheight, ]

\starttexdefinition MyHeader #where #day #month #year #title #number #time

\setupheadertexts [{\headerframed[align=middle, foregroundstyle=bold, foregroundcolor=red] {#title n\high{o}\,#number}}]

\setupheadertexts [{\headerframed[align=flushleft, foregroundstyle=\ssx] {Lycée JANSON DE SAILLY \\ \date[d=#day,m=#month,y=#year]}}] [{\headerframed[align=flushright, foregroundstyle=\ssx] {#where \\ {#time}}}]

\stoptexdefinition

\MyHeader{Seconde}{17}{08}{2017}{Devoir surveillé}{1}{1h\,30m}

\starttext \input knuth \stoptext

An added benefit is that you get correct interlinespace for the left and right header.

Hi Aditya, Thanks for having sent the example file: indeed with your file I can typeset the example and see the expected result. I don’t know what happened when I copied and pasted the example from the e-mail… I think the command % macros = mkvi was not set correctly written at the first line, that is I had a space before the percent sign « % ». In fact %macros=mkvi or %macros = mkvi work as well. By the way, wouldn’t be more user friendly, and more in the spirit of ConTeXt, if we had a command saying \enablemode[mkvi] in order to tell ConTeXt that we are using %macros = mkvi ?

%macros=mkvi \startcomponent dm-1 …

I was wrong, and (no surprise) Aditya was correct.

The %macros=mkvi line is not needed in dm1.tex. It should be at the top of MyLayout.tex.

You may then reference MyLayout.tex (note the addition of the extension) in dm1.tex, or you may rename the file to MyLayout.mkvi, where you can reference it as either MyLayout or as MyLayout.mkvi.

Sorry for the noise.
