...

how can I move the thinrule further up in this example? I'd like to use \thinrule but still want the position like this:

\setupheader[text][after=\hrule]

Hi Florian,

Maybe this can help you.

\setuplayout[header=1cm,headerdistance=1cm] \setupheader[text][after=\vskip-0.8em\thinrule] \starttext \dorecurse{12}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext

Thanks, that works. I wonder if you can configure this with \setupthinrules. \setupthinrules[before=\vskip-0.8em] does no work. Florian

Hm, if you use: \setupthinrules[n=1, before=\vskip-0.8em] \setupheader[text][after=\thinrules]

it can work.

However ConTeXt advises to use \blank instead of \vskip, for example:

\setupthinrules[n=1, before={\blank[-0.8em]}] \setupheader[text][after=\thinrules]

This works, thank you! Florian
