Thanks Wolfgang! The reason for the use of the layer is the following: If I use frames of the natural table, then I have this: \def\arde[#1][#2]{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \stoptext There you can see the problem, you have to zoom into the pdf: Between the two tables, there is a tiny tiny (!) space betweeen the vertical lines. Its not a big issue, but it is there. Huseyin

Hi,
I use a vertical line (realized as a layer) for a bilingual project. My question is: 1. How can I set this line on all pages?
When this is the text where you place both columns with a table you can just enable the rule between both columns.
Thanks Wolfgang!

\def\arde[#1][#2]{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \stoptext
There you can see the problem, you have to zoom into the pdf: Between the two tables, there is a tiny tiny (!) space betweeen the vertical lines. Its not a big issue, but it is there.
The space is inserted by TeX when characters in different lines are touching. You can avoid this when you put everything in a single table. You should also avoid to use brackets as delimiters for text, use normal braced arguments why can be grouped without problems. \startsetups[arde] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \stopsetups \def\startarde {\bTABLE[frame=off,width=.5\textwidth,setups=arde,split=yes]} \def\stoparde {\eTABLE} \define[2]\arde {\bTR \bTD#1\eTD \bTD#2\eTD \eTR} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \startarde \arde{\input knuth }{\input knuth } \arde{\input knuth }{\input knuth } \stoparde \stoptext Wolfgang
