[NTG-context] setting margins in makeup
I'm having trouble resetting my margins in makeup pages. I want the makeup pages to have equal topspace, bottomspace, backspace and cutspace, regardless of the standard layout of the rest of the document. Following Wolfgang's recommendation ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/079409.html), I tried the following: \setuppapersize [A4][A4] % Standard page layout \setuplayout[width=middle, backspace=1.5in, cutspace=1.5in, height=middle, topspace=0.75in, bottomspace=0.75in] % Title page layout % \definemakeup defines a layout with the same name, which we alter. \definemakeup[titlepage] \setuplayout [titlepage][width=middle, backspace=20mm, height=middle, topspace=20mm] \starttext \startmakeup[titlepage][top=,] bla \stopmakeup But, on my system, this puts the bla too far from the top of the page, and it looks as though the topspace has not been set properly. (Backspace seems ok), Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to achieve this? Also, the manual says I can use the command \showframe to display frames to help in debugging, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me?

Re: [NTG-context] setting margins in makeup
Sorry for the noise, I've solved it, turns out makeup pages still have headers which you need to set to zero if you want uniform margins: % Title page layout % \definemakeup defines a layout with the same name, which we alter. \definemakeup[titlepage] \setuplayout [titlepage][width=middle, backspace=20mm, height=middle, topspace=20mm, header=0mm] did the trick for me. Incidentally, what threw me off was the phrasing in the manual: 4.19 Makeup A document may have a titlepage, a colofon and some pages that are not directly related to the main part of the document. Mostly these pages are not numbered and can do without headers and footers. Because their layout needs extra attention we prefer the word makeup for defining their specific layout. Since my makeup pages indeed don't have page numbers, I presumed they wouldn't have headers either. I may have read too much into that, but perhaps that passage can be improved?

[NTG-context] vertical alignment of table of contents in makeup
There is a trick mentioned on the wiki for top-aligning the contents of a
makeup page, namely adding top=,, which cancels the default value of
\vss, which is infinitely strechable space.
However, that doesn't seem to work when the first element in the makeup
page is \completecontent:
\starttext
% top= here doesn't seem to be working...
\startmakeup[standard][top=,]
\completecontent
\section{testsection}
\stopmakeup
\stoptext
Here, the table of contents and the section are both placed on the makeup
page, but they are centered vertically. If the \completecontent line is
commented out, the correct vertical alignment of the section header is
obtained. Is there a way to get top-alignment when a makeup page starts
with \completecontent? Is this a bug?
Or should I even be using makeup pages in my table of contents?

[NTG-context] Strange bug with overviewpage module.
Hi,
Some time ago, Hans had helped me to write an 'overviewpage' module, that
makes it easy to show a overview of the important slides at the end of a
presentation. I have tweaked this module slightly to be able to save an
arbitrary page by using
\saveoverviewpage{reference}
and reuse the page by
\useoverviewpage{reference}
An example is:
\usemodule[overviewpage]
\setuppapersize[S4]
\setupframedtext[rulethickness=3pt]
\starttext
\startframedtext
\input ward
\stopframedtext
\saveoverviewpage{ward}
\page
\input tufte
\page
\scale[width=0.5\textwidth]{\useoverviewpage{ward}}
\stoptext
However, when I save a page that contains a framed box (as in the above
example), the box looses its right frame when it is displayed again (see
page 3 of the attached pdf). It appears that the left edge is twice as
thick.
Any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this?
Thanks,
Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] expand date from CSV file
;-) Thanx Peter. I'm too not thought about solutions :-). I was so focused to mined data from a CSV file, and I've not think much about the appropriate algorithm. I love attentive and thoughtful people (although often I'm not alone such) Maybe I corrected in a subsequent e-mail properly. One more thanx.
