I'm trying to write a module that will mimick the behavior of crop.sty in LaTeX (providing fancier cropmarks than the ones given by the ConTeXt \setuplayout command). I'm done with the code for the cropmarks, and this is working fine. Now I want to have a status line in between the two top marks. How can I give an absolute position for a layer that will put this line midaligned and exactly, say 0.5cm above the level of the upper corners of the page? What I tried so far is: \composedlayer and something like \setlayer[y=2cm] - will only be on the first page, not repeated; \framed - I can give the frame a height like 1.3\textheight, but then the position will not be fixed, but change with the textheight I guess there must be a trivial solution, but I haven't found it yet...

Thanks for your suggestion, but I didn't get it to work. In the end, I had recourse to some low-level stuff (caution, ugly code ahead!): \defineoverlay[info][{\getbuffer[info]}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={info}] \startbuffer[info] \vbox to \paperheight \bgroup \vskip -1 cm \framed[frame=off,align=high]{\tt \txx "\jobname" - \currentdate [y,/,mm,/,dd]\ - \currenttime\ - \realfolio\ of \lastpage} \egroup \stopbuffer (code adapted from construction of Thumb index on the wiki) Which seems to be doing exactly what I want.

this time tested:

\defineoverlay[info][{\getbuffer[info]}]

\startbuffer[info] \vbox to \paperheight \bgroup \vskip -1 cm \framed[frame=off,align=high]{\tt \txx "\jobname" - \currentdate [y,/,mm,/,dd]\ - \currenttime\ - \realfolio\ of \lastpage} \egroup \stopbuffer

Hi All, how to write the word "DRAFT" (big and transparent) on every page of a document using ConTeXt? Thanks! -- // Jilani KHALDI http://jkhaldi.oltrelinux.com

As you can see, the PDF file has been normaly created, but without any "DRAFT". Ciao! -- // Jilani KHALDI http://jkhaldi.oltrelinux.com
You'll need to do 2 things: in your texmf.cnf, you have to set shellescape to "t" (don't ask me where that is located on a windows system, I have no idea). In cont-sys.tex, uncomment these two lines: \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue Good luck Thomas On Oct 7, 2005, at 12:03 PM, Jilani Khaldi wrote:

Hi to all, I'm including in a set of slides some ASCII ART. Actually I'm using start-stoptyping. E.g. \starttyping || knight || | | + \ \\.G_.*=. `(H'/.\| .>' (_--. _=/d ,^\ ~~ \)-' ' / | ' ' a:f \stoptyping Works fine, but obviously text remains text (--> large figures are splitted among different pages). I'd like to treat the ascii text lines as a unique block, just like a figure. What's the best way? Thanks a lot Best -a-

Would \framed[frame=off,...]{... your figure ...} or \vbox{... your figure ...} solve the problem? (\startyping ... \stoptyping inside \framed caused some problems here, but \vbox worked OK.) Mojca
