Hello! Based on a discussion with Hans at the ConTeXt meeting I'm starting to migrate my book covers from CorelDraw to ConTeXt using layers. After a bit of experimenting I managed to achieve my first layer, but looking at the examples on the wiki page, I'm wondering: what's the difference between \setlayer and \setlayerframed. Is the latter a subset of the first and possibly equal to \setlayer [name] % name of the layer {\framed[...=...,...=...]{LAYER}} % the actual contents of the layer or something else? And which one should I use, anyway? I need to put a bit of text and a bit of graphics onto the pages, but nothing complicated, just "boxes". But as I'm starting from zero, it would be nice to know what's the smartest way of doing it (on the moment). I'm running the newest or at least almost newest beta of ConTeXt and can update if needed. Thanks, Mari

Yes, this is more or less the definition of \setlayerframed.

For the graphics you can use \setlayer but \setlayerframed is better when you a longer text which should be broken into lines. Wolfgang
