Have just started working with TeX/ConTeXt after years with Adobe InDesign. Want to make an alternating page layout with one column only but a large outer margin. This I have managed to achieve but in addition I want running footers in the outer margin flush with the bottom of the text and also want a vertical ..5pt rule between the text area and the outside margin area. Can a layer be placed in the footer or header to achieve this? Layout would have to alternate from left to right page. I think this means a different layer for each side?

The right page must also have a logo at the top of the outside margin.

Page setup is as follows:

\setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setuplayout[ width=10cm,backspace=2.5cm,rightmargin=5.8cm, rightmarginspace=1cm,topspace=1.5cm,header=0cm,lines=42]

all areas can have background, just search for setupbackgrounds on the wiki and setupfooter / setupheader ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
