Probably a very simple question, but how do I get a page number to be centered, at the bottom and vertically in the middle whilst having my doc margins?
I have the following code that I tried editing with no success https://pastebin.com/jT58Z8uY This has no footer or header but when I add code for a header that is AI generated it outputs a wrong result l, and I tried reading documentation too but didn't really find anything helpful What I want; everything that is included in the preamble that affects the sizing and alignment, but I want a bottom centered page number that is vertically aligned (it doesn't have to be perfect but I think context can oroabbly do that? I'm a complete novice, sorry). Would greatly appreciate if someone can format this into the doc. Thank you!
Hi,
I am not sure I understand what you want, but if you change footer=0in
to footer=.5in and then add
\setuppagenumbering
[location=footer]
you will get pagenumbers in the footer. If you need to tweak your
layout more, it might be helpful to add
\showframe
to get a hint on how the page is set up, or even
\showlayout
if you want some more information.

PS You can also play with
\setupfootertexts
[pagenumber]
or
\setupfootertexts
[pagenumber]

Hello mikail, I would send a picture to be more clear with what I want but it seems to not be possible, what adding the footer=.5in code does is simply take away .5in from the bottom margin, what I mean is that The bottom margin really just becomes 1in because the footer takes up .5in from the margin setting, ``` \setuppapersize [letter] [letter] \setuplayout[ backspace=0.5in, topspace=0.5in, header=0in, % No headers footer=.5in, % Space for the footer width=middle, height=middle, ] \setuppagenumbering [location=footer] \showframe \definefontfeature [default] [default] [trep=yes] \definefontfamily [TimesNewRoman] [rm] [Times New Roman] \definetypeface [TimesNewRoman] [mm] [math] [stixtwo] \setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt] \mainlanguage[en-us] \setupindenting[yes,0.5in] \setupheads[indentnext=yes] % To get indentation after section numbers, use this \startsetups document:start \centerline{\documentvariable{title}} \centerline{\documentvariable{author}} \centerline{\documentvariable{date}} \blank[line] \stopsetups \startdocument[title=Title,author=Author,date=Date] \stopdocument ``` I hope this better explains what I am trying to achieve

attachments to the list should be less than 100kb. If you generate your image as a PNG file, it should fit in that file size. I attach sample image (from the next minimal sample).

Well, the extra half inch is taken from the text body, not from the bottom margin. I mean, when you set up topspace and height to mmiddle, bottomspace will have the same value as topspace. Here you have a stupid sample: \showframe\showgrid \setuppapersize [letter] \setuplayout[ backspace=0.5in, topspace=\topspace, header=0in, % No headers footer=5in, % Space for the footer width=middle, height=middle, ] \starttext \null \stoptext Now some comments (just for your info):
\setuppapersize [letter] [letter]
When both papersizes are the same, I’d say the second one is redundant.
\setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt]
The default value for font size is 12pt, so this isn’t really required.
\mainlanguage[en-us]
The default language is US English, so this isn’t really required. I hope it helps, Pablo
