Hello all!
While staring at the pile of ConTeXt instruction book(let)s on my
desk, I realized that I should be able to use a logo or a text to
create a background texture to use in scrapbooking and cardcraft. The
problem is that my skills don't quite stretch that far and I can't

would be quiet useful. Except that if I copy-paste the example in my
ConTeXt, I get two columns typeset almost on top of each other, with

I would love to create a folded meander book, but as far as I can see,
that means creating a new imposition scheme and that's beyond my

It works (of course it does!). Now I can create a funny booklet with
my MetaPost twiddlings. :-)
A 9-page version (3x3) would also be nice to have, to make slightly
