Hi,

is there a way to have something like

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]

but have the "inner paper size" be a computed fit like in \startTEXpage?

Or, alternatively, is there is a way to print crop marks around an environment like \startTEXpage? Can you be more concrete what your goal is, there are a few ways to solve your problem but with a few more information we can give you a good solution. Say I want to print some stickers or paper strips of non-fixed size, and get crop marks around them to know where to cut.

With \setuppapersize and \setuparranging I can do this nicely if I know the size in advance, but in some cases I don't.

You can use \framed to create a box which takes the size of its content. The borders of the framed box can be used to cut the stickers and with the frameoffset key (or offset if your prefer) you can increase the distance between the borders and the content. \setuplayout[page] \starttext \centerbox    {\startframed[width=10cm,align=normal,frameoffset=1cm]         \input ward     \stopframed} \stoptext Wolfgang

\definepapersize [label] [width=6cm, height=25mm]

But that requires knowing the size in advance. Think of the labels in a museum that depend how long the description is. ;) -- Leah Neukirchen https://leahneukirchen.org/

I would suggest the approach of Wolfgang because the standard setting of \framed(texts)’ width is fit and the height setting can be changed to this too. Further I would suggest to use an overlay and a Metafun graphic for the cut-indicators. \defineoverlay[Cutpointstight][\useMPgraphic{Cutpointstight}] \startuniqueMPgraphic{Cutpointstight} path p; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight; draw ulcorner p; draw urcorner p; draw llcorner p; draw lrcorner p; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \framedtext [height=fit, align={lohi,center}, background=Cutpointstight, foregroundcolor=black, frame=off, offset=3pt] {{\tfa HALITGARII EPISCOPI \blank[small] De vitiis et virtutibus \blank[small] Ordinum Poenitentium} \blank[small] Libri V.} I hope this solves your issue Willi
