page number with brief centered line above
Hi list, I am trying to achieve a layout where there is a brief line above the bottom-centered page number (of a double-sided document). I am able to achieve the centered bottom-located page number easily and obviously enough with: \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] \setupfooter [style=bold] And I was able to achieve a result with a short line above where the page number should be - but by adopting the solution below I have now lost the page number. \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] \setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=off,topframe=on,width=.5\textwidth]}] So then I thought that having left out any reference to page numbers I had better put it in, so I added [pagenumber] to the above, but I ended up with two page numbers, one centered, the other to the inner or outer margins (depending on recto/verso), and the line was likewise to the right or left of the centred number. So clearly not what I want. Maybe the solution lies with some combination of the above I haven't thought of, or maybe there is another solution altogether. Any thoughts? Julian

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] \setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=off,topframe=on,width=.5\textwidth]}] You forgot the braces for the argument of \framed. So then I thought that having left out any reference to page numbers I had better put it in, so I added [pagenumber] to the above, but I ended up with two page numbers, one centered, the other to the inner or outer margins (depending on recto/verso), and the line was likewise to the right or left of the centred number.

1. Add a rule at the top of the footer. \setuppagenumbering [location=footer] \setupfooter [text] [before=\hrule] \starttext \page[dummy] \stoptext 2. Put the page number in a frame (preferred method). \setuppagenumbering [location=] \setupfootertexts [{\framed[width=max,frame=off,topframe=on]{\pagenumber}}] \starttext \page[dummy] \stoptext Wolfgang
Thanks Wolfgang. It seems I was almost there, but had forgotten the braces for \pagenumber! I am grateful for the observation. \framed is definitely the preferred solution. Julian On 15/5/20 1:28 am, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

\setuppagenumbering [location=footer]
\setupfooter [text] [before=\hrule]
\starttext \page[dummy] \stoptext
2. Put the page number in a frame (preferred method).
\setuppagenumbering [location=]
\setupfootertexts [{\framed[width=max,frame=off,topframe=on]{\pagenumber}}]
\starttext \page[dummy] \stoptext
