Placing text in the margin of a header or the top right corner of a page
Dear All, I am trying to place a framed text in the top right corner of each page of a screen document and it looks like (cont-eni) some invocation of \setupheadertexts might do the job. Unfortunately, I have only been able to place my text in the margin of the body of the page, using \margintext. Ideally, I would like to have the framed text box flush with the top and right edge of a page, but any approximate solution or a pointer to some document to read (that could educate me) will be much appreciated. Thanks, Matthias

Smells like Layers to me. Try this, for starters: \definelayer[mybg][x=180mm, y=0mm,width=3cm, height=3cm,repeat=yes] \setlayer[mybg][hoffset=0cm, voffset=0cm]{\framed[frame=on, width=3cm, height=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=black,foregroundcolor=white]{LAYER}} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg] \starttext Test \page Test1 \page Test2 \stoptext More info here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/layers Hope that helps :)
Fascinating. Thanks a lot. That is more than I hoped for, and was easy to adapt to what I wanted. One small issue: There is a tiny gap between the black layer box and the right margin (in white) that doesn't even disappear when I increase hoffset. Any chance to make that disappear, too? Thanks again - Matthias On Nov 22, 2011, at 11:30 PM, Christian wrote:

I think I see what you mean. It disappeared after I tossed the box 1mm to the right with adjusting the x position: change x=180mm to x=181mm Is that it?

Hi, there are already presets and \setlayerframed. See my attached example. Best wishes Andreas
