How to create multi-line headers and footers?

I am creating a template for a 1-page newsletter. At the top of every page is a huge title, below which is a block with a brief introduction to the newsletter. The body is just 200-300 words each issue--I edit it such that all of the content fits on just one-side, one page. Finally, in the footer, is contact information and some other closing details. ======TITLE <-- big title ............ <-- introduction paragraph ............ ====== -------------------- <-- body text ----------======............ <-- message in footer ====== I tried placing that all into a macro called "\introduction" then calling with this \setupheadertexts[\introduction] It seems when placing the macro inside \setupheadertexts, the text is reduced to a single line. Any code involving \frames{} doesn't seem to work normally. Its all compressed to a single line, then centered. How can I put a mult-line frame or multi-line text in the headers and footers? --Joel

\setupheadertexts[\introduction]
Better use setups instead of a macros, like in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers In setups, you must use explicit space commands, since whitespace doesn’t matter.
