Difference between revisions of "Page Layout"

Revision as of 11:40, 27 March 2005

You can use these design areas in your page:

There's also a "distance" between each of the areas, e.g. leftedgedistance, leftmargindistance (from the named area to the inner).

\setuplayout[backspace=20mm,
	width=160mm,
	topspace=20mm, top=0mm,
	header=0mm, footer=0mm,
	height=250mm]

You can make all the geometry information visible with \showlayout.

See \setuplayout in the manual.

By using Layers, you can also place elements at specific places, as done in the BusinessCard example.

At Paul Tremblay's XML ConTeXt site, there's a lot about layout from a XML/FO perspective with some descriptive pictures.
