Thanks to the help I've been getting, I've almost got my layout working. The only remaining problem seems to be that the footer automatically inserts some whitespace above my framed text. The intent is for it to be flush to the top of the footer.

What do I need to change?

footerdistance

settting footerdistance to 0cm doesn't seem to change anything.

there is a strut: try \showstruts By default \setupfooter[strut=yes] so put \setupfooter[strut=no] Also watch for spurios spaces in \FooBox Here is my version %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \newbox\FootBox \setuplayout [ location=doublesided, marking=on, topspace=1cm, % space at top of page bottomspace=1cm, % space at bottom of page backspace=2cm, % spine side of page cutspace=1cm, % outer side of page header=0cm, footer=2cm, bottom=2cm, margin=0cm, width=middle, height=middle, ] \setbox\FootBox=\hbox{\framed [ align=right, frame=on, topframe=on, width=\textwidth, offset=none, framecolor=blue, ] {\bf \tfxx datasheet:}} \setupfooter[strut=no] \setuplayout[footer={\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox\relax}] \setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}] \showstruts \showlayout \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input tufte }test \stoptext -- luigi
