That's exactly what I need! Based on your example I kept experimenting a bit
and got to:
---
\usemodule[streams]
\definestreamlayer
[columns]
[method=overlay]
\startsetups streamlayer:columns:settings
\overloadtextwidth{12cm}
\stopsetups
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=columns]
\starttext
\startstreamlayer[columns]
\startcolumns
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stopstreamlayer
\setlayerframed
[columns]
[x=2cm,
y=3cm]
[width=12cm,
height=8cm,
align=normal,
offset=none,
framecolor=gray]
{\placestreamlayer[columns]}
%\setlayer
% [columns]
% [x=1cm,
% y=10cm]
% {\placestreamlayer[columns]}
\stoptext
---
Observations:
1. One can even do without the textbackground material for some reason.
2. \placestreamlayer apparently can only be used once (try uncommenting the
last lines). So it doesn't nearly behave like a buffer...
3. There's some vertical space between the frame and the first line of text. Is
this some \topskip thing? How can I get rid of this space?
Many thanks again for your suggestions and a happy new year,
Oliver
