Aright, whatever, but does anybody use the positioning mechanism with \anchor described in the Details manual? On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 6:35 PM, Peter Park Nelson wrote:

Hi ConTeXt list,

I have a document with a graphic (logo) in the upper right corner (positioned on a layer and placed as a background). To the left of this graphic are several text elements (Title, Author List, etc.) that don't go all the way across the page. (Currently I have wrapped them in \startnarrower...\stopnarrower -- is there a better way?) But this is followed by an Abstract paragraph that uses the full width of the page.

I would like to ensure that the full-width text never starts high enough on the page that it encroaches on the upper-right-corner graphic. So, I'm looking for a way to protect the graphic, or to force the Abstract to start a minimum distance from the top of the page.

The Abstract can be forced down the page if necessary by manually inserting a \godown[] command before it, but I would prefer a programmatic solution.

Floating the graphic and wrapping text around it does not seem like a good option, because I want to ensure that its position is absolute and it never moves. Also, the Abstract needs to be full-width throughout, so I need to force it to start after the graphic rather than partially wrapping it.

Any suggestions appreciated…

You can use something like the following code but without a example from you it’s difficult to give a answer.

\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\maxaligned\bgroup

       \startframed[frame=off,location=top,width=10cm,align=flushleft]%        line 1\\        line 2\\        line 3        \stopframed

       \hfill

       \tbox{\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=4cm]}%

\egroup

\input knuth

\stoptext

Here's a minimal example of what I'm talking about.

I would like the Abstract to not start until it will be clear of the logo graphic on the right side.

In the real document, I cannot be sure how much vertical space will taken up by text items (Authors, subtitle, etc.) between the Title and the Abstract, hence my question.

Maybe I am thinking about this in the wrong way and there is a different approach? I have more of a DTP background.

\title{The title of this article wraps at 140 mm so it doesn't hit the logo}

% A VARIABLE NUMBER OF TEXT ITEMS WILL BE PLACED HERE...

% \godown[3cm] % UNCOMMENT TO FORCE THE ABSTRACT BELOW THE LOGO

\startAbstract But the abstract can continue all the way across the page...\input tufte\par \stopAbstract

\stoptext
