Hello Hans and others,

is there any layer documentation out there that I have missed?

I found some fragments in the metafun manual, the details.pdf and (well, of course!) the source.

Where should the layers be hooked in?

If I say \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=relpos], the layer relpos gets repeated; if I use \setupbackgrounds[page][..], the layer won't be repeated, even if I say \setupbackgrounds[page][background=..,state=repeat]. (Yes, I know that I can use \setuplayer[...][state=repeat]; I try to understand what is going on.)

So should I always use the [page] background to anchor the layer?

[text][text] and [page] are repeated indeed others are if \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] another option is: \checktextbackgrounds and put things in the predefined text-2,text-2,text+1,text+2 layers (studying core-box may shed some light on this) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
