Thank you very much Patrick! May I ask you please for help also for another urgent problem? I still have no idea to setup the linespacing for the different elements like footnote, headings etc. In LaTeX it was quite easy (\fontsize{size_of_font}{linespacing}\selectfont): \renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{10pt}{13pt}\selectfont} \renewcommand{\footnotesize}{\fontsize{8.5pt}{10pt}\selectfont} \newcommand{\heading_1}{\fontsize{14}{20}\selectfont} \newcommand{\heading_2}{\fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont} But how to write this in ConTeXt (i.e. set up in pt not in ex)? Thank you again, Steffen Patrick Gundlach wrote:

Hi,

how is the syntax for adding or subtraction, like width=\textwidth - 12pt

if you are using etex and not afraid of strange examples:

\setuplayout[header=\dimexpr(\textwidth - 12pt)] \starttext \showsetups \stoptext
